Cosplay Feature: Wumbo's Monoco!

Photo by David Ngo Happy February! I hope you had an amazing start to your new year and that you're excited to learn about the amazing cosplays that are out there for 2026. The cosplay community usually dubs the one-two punch of MAGFest & Katsucon as the kickoff for the convention season. I spent the last month or so gathering cosplays that as of today's date, all stem from the former! I also am insanely excited that many of these I'm about to share are first time write-ups for the creators themselves. Today, you get a look at Wumbo's masterful recreation of known feet lover Monoco from 2025's Game of the Year, Expedition 33! In looking at some of the photo posts on her instagram, she made all of this by herself so I don't have to worry about adding in extra creators who may have assisted with design files etc. Quick backstory, Monoco is the last party member you add to your team who's a longtime friend of Verso and gained a grasp on the English language...

Cosplay Feature: Courtney Michelle's Luffy!

I love discovering cosplayers who in my eyes, show lots of potential for the future. Whether in making amazing outfits or being possible guests at conventions. Only time will tell I suppose. Such is the case with Courtney Michelle! I've chatted with her several times before on SnapChat and other areas but only recently did I definitely check out her work. All I'll say is that I like what I see! It was actually Courtney's suggestion that I feature her Luffy cosplay since it was one of the recent ones in which she's proud of. What you guys see is what I imagine Luffy from One Piece would look like should his gender be swapped. You've got the red vest covering up a black bra along with short shorts and a yellow belt!

In addition, Courtney's wearing a beautiful long black wig and of course, Luffy's signature Straw Hat! There's also some necklace/jewelry wrapped around her left arm too! This cosplay definitely screams summer/spring time since it's very lightweight and perfect for those seasons! I love Courtney's poses as well since she seems to be a fan of the character in addition to the show/manga. Her makeup is also really cool here with the little scar you can see!

With this being such a simple outfit, that's really all I can say about it! The setting in the photos being both pool side and outdoors near trees is perfect and the photos look beautiful! Hope you guys enjoy them!
