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 Showcase: Megawatt Cosplay's Steampunk Dorothy!

Photo by Maze Studios
As I mentioned in my NYCC Report a few weeks ago, one cosplayer I was beyond thrilled to finally meet was Megawatt Cosplay. This was coming off of having grown close to her over the past year shortly after NYCC 2015 ended. For this year, Megawatt wore Katniss Everdeen on Friday and Steampunk Dorothy on Saturday. It's apparent though as to which cosplay I'm gonna focus on for today right? There's an inherent cuteness and slight sex appeal look for Megan's Dorothy. Given the Steampunk nature in general, old fashioned Victorian pieces are seen on the cosplay. This varies from the brown corset covering her torso, to the brown gloves covering most of her arms. Dorothy's signature blue patterned clothes can be seen in the low cut bra piece and the skirt coming in from below the corset. Right above the gloves are white ruffle cuffs that are positioned on her upper forearm.

Course, Megan wasn't the only person a part of this cosplay. Her husband to be, who I also met at the con, wore a Steampunk version of the all powerful Wizard himself that you see at the end of the movie. I've included several pictures of the 2 of them since primarily I'm focusing on Megawatt! Other notable parts of her cosplay include an adorable brown wig with pigtails and full on white stockings covering her legs. It wouldn't be a full Dorothy cosplay without Ruby Red shoes! I should have a picture picked out that shows them in a full body view!

Prop wise, Megan was seen carrying a basket with her own Toto as well as a mini model of a classic (I mean really classic) wooden airplane. The corset is of a light shade of brown with sections in a darker color along with gold colored studs. A strap is also wrapped around the center. I at first thought that she re-used her corset from Steampunk Jasmine but both those cosplays have a different style though they do look very similar. I fully admit that this was probably the outfit I was looking forward to seeing the most. Mostly on the reason of the huge cosplay crush I have on Megawatt and just overall she looks incredibly beautiful in the outfit. I hope you guys enjoy the plethora of pictures I found of this cosplay!
