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...

Product Review: Batman 80th Anniversary Hoodie!


I've always had a close eye on any kind of new product that Hero Within puts out cause there's a solid chance I'll be swayed into getting one. That's exactly the case with their special edition/first run of the new Batman hoodie. For this debut, it coincides with the Dark Knight's 80th birthday, so that plays a huge part in this piece's design. Matching the colors, the full jacket is a gorgeous light shade of grey with the Bat symbol stretched out in the front. It extends across the shoulders as well for a greater enlargement on the back. Drawstrings can be seen dangling down from the neck which is attached to the hood. These are done in yellow with multiple black lines in a pattern. The material used is incredibly soft. Seriously the second I tried this on I was instantly in love.


As I mentioned at the start, Batman's 80th has a big part in this edition. The inside is decorated with both yellow for the hood and DC Comics' stamp for Bat's 80 years for the main jacket. There's also a small bat symbol with the year 1939 etched in yellow. I was told that should this jacket be completely sold out, this version won't appear again in a reprint. That includes mainly the 80 years stamp and I believe also the 1939. Much like Batman, the jacket is full of extra zippers and pockets on the inside. Mainly in the arms and chest portion. So now in total I got three jackets I can wear at leisure but the weather most likely plays a huge part in what's comfy. For example, I'm warm enough wearing the GotG Retro jacket in the winter and Flash's jacket in the spring/summer. This one here certainly feels like a Spring all the way to Winter type of clothing.




To top it all off, the zipper is done in Batman's symbol. It's size however is super small and that's honestly my only complaint. Mainly with how nervous I am zipping up the hoodie in the fear that I'll tear it off on accident! I hope the pictures I took did the jacket justice as this is definitely one any Bat fan will want to pick up! Be sure to head to Hero Within's website to order this or any other of their products, they truly deliver such high quality items. Not to mention having a super passionate team behind it!
