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: Missyeru's Berserker Paine!


Awhile back, I did a feature on Vanity Fox's Berserker Yuna from Final Fantasy X-2! Today, I wanted to feature the superbly talented Missyeru in a very similar outfit. Same dressphere but different character to be more exact! One of Michelle's first cosplays was Paine in the Berserker uniform. Comparing it to Yuna's version, Paine's consists of a one piece suit in a blue shade. Various red patterns cover it from her stomach towards her legs. Two sashes are wrapped around her waist and are similar in color to the whole suit. In addition, Michelle has claws and feet made up of leopard print. The ones around her hands travel up her arm, that is of course until you get to the shoulder pieces! These consist of a black part with yellow circles on the front and down near its edge. Several spikes are seen popping outward as well!

Near the bottom of the shoulder sections, is a small strip of leopard print. Most likely attached on the inside of the armor. My best guess is that foam was used in making them. The head piece is almost like a crown that definitely looks snug on Michelle's head. It consists of a black band wrapped around circular areas, these have horns coming out. Two on each end as a matter of fact, and they're also colored grey. Blue felt/fur is seen at the top of Paine's outfit along with leopard print covering her neck.

The pictures were shot in a very foresty area to give off a primal feel. Considering the Berserker is all about attacking and animal instincts, it's pretty much perfect! For being one of Missyeru's first cosplays, I have to say she did an absolutely incredible job. The wig and her make up is so spot on, that I feel here she truly looks like Paine! I hope you guys enjoy the other pictures I have to share! :D
