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: Kitsune Kid's Tifa Lockhart!

Over the course of following Kitsune Kid's work, I've grown to love the amount of fun she has with it. Whether she's cosplaying alone or with her S/O. As I began looking into her cosplay work (I wanted to feature her again!), I started noticing a pattern and I have no doubt she knows it too. Many of the characters that Kitsune cosplays are females (or Rule 63's) that are more of a fighter. For example, she's done Rule 63's of DragonBall Z characters, Black Canary, Laura from Street Fighter V, even characters in a gym-like uniform such as Misty from Pokemon. This is a call back to Kitsune's love/enjoyment of being fit and healthy. So naturally, Tifa Lockheart was an obvious pick for her. If I remember correctly, Tifa was one of Kitsune's earlier cosplays but she recently brought it back out for new photos. They look pretty dang awesome which I'll show below!

With this being Tifa's default outfit, you've got the classic white tank top and suspenders attached to her pants. The pants themselves being more of a skirt. Dark red boots and black socks are pretty much the remaining parts for the lower areas. For the arms, Kitsune has a black sleeve that goes up slightly past her elbows. Red gloves are visible as are the small armor pieces. I'm betting the armor was done through either Worbla or foam. The weathering and coloring of them looks awesome and very authentic.

Kitsune has a beautiful black wig for her hair to match Tifa's iconic style. The poses done in the photos are standard for the character and I can really tell Kitsune had a blast wearing her. No doubt it's one of her more comfy cosplays! Some of the pics show Kitsune's cute smile too! I hope you guys enjoy the remaining shots I found! While I've only met Kitsune once, I got my fingers crossed that I'll run into her again one day! <3

As I mentioned above, Kitsune Kid recently finished both Laura's default look as well as an alt outfit from the recently released Street Fighter V! You definitely should check out her cosplays if you haven't yet! She also on occasion makes custom kigurumis to sell! Pretty cool right? Here's her FB Page!
