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: Blood Empress' Tifa Lockhart!

Photo by Instaxhype
Duhhh of course I'd be talking about Blood Empress' gorgeous Tifa Lockhart cosplay when she started posting pictures in it. Tifa being my all time favorite game girl crush, I'm a sucker for anyone who cosplays her. Also pretty sure I've stated this reasoning time and time again as I featured Tifa cosplayers in the past. Here, Christy chose to go with the character's default outfit, the black skirt along with the white top and suspenders. Some of the shots give a really solid vide of the Docker boots she's wearing. The black belt is loosely wrapped around the skirt up near her waist and suspenders travel down to be attached to it. Christy opted in going with a full covered white shirt instead of the traditional white tank that Tifa is known for wearing.

Oddly enough, the most detailing/parts go to her arms. Christy has long black sleeves covering just about up to her forearm. The red gloves are more so done with fabric instead of actual gloves that I've seen with past cosplays of Tifa. One arm is shown with the gray armor piece attached to some red fabric and the other has a white band wrapped near the end. I find this route makes her Tifa more than ready to get down and dirty in terms of fighting, much more movement when the hands aren't held back/covered up heavily.

The close up shot on the left gives a great view of the wig Christy has for this cosplay. Gray dots decorate the gloves up near her knuckles. Overall she nails the posing of warm up shots as she's getting ready to beat down Shinra soldiers. Her figure fits the character well also and this just gives me another reason as to why I want to meet her so bad <3. Enjoy the shots guys!
