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: Stella Chuu's Yuffie Kisaragi!

Photo by WhiteDesertSun
Final Fantasy 7 is one of my favorite games. It pretty much kicked off the love I have now for RPG's. You can probably imagine my appreciation and excitement for cosplays from the game. I'm very happy to share with you all the lovely Stella Chuu again. Last year, she made a Yuffie Kisaragi cosplay and it looks pretty dang stellar if you ask me! For the materia obsessed thief, Stella went with her classic attire. Very skimpy in a sort of way to allow for fast maneuvering in the game no doubt. The outfit consists of a high green crop top with short sleeves. Tan booty shorts make up the bottom and the rest consist of coverings and armor throughout the arms and legs. Across the shirt are straps and coverings near her shoulder and low parts.

One of Stella's shoulders consist of a singular pauldron and an arm guard that travels down the whole length. Tan fabric makes up the classic part. Headband and gloves are also seen here. Of course, it wouldn't be Yuffie without her signature giant Ninja star. It looks like this prop was done with foam, the bevel effects on each blade are so badass. Plus the middle area is decorated with colored circles. This is a call back to Materia and how Yuffie is attracted to the magic infused items.

Stella absolutely nails the poses and brings her cheery attitude to them. Flashing the "V" sign and having a giant grin on her face. Definitely capturing Yuffie's personality here. It seems that she used her natural hair as well though I could be wrong. Check out the rest of the photos and hopefully you'll get the excitement I do seeing them! Stella's the perfect Yuffie!

Definitely check out Stella Chuu's page if you haven't yet. Cosplay butts, burlesque dancing, and lots more hijinks are there. Her cosplays are so rad and I plan on at least talking with her more next time I see her at a convention :)
