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: Renee4Atlanta's Ironheart!


Happy Halloween to you all! To end this month of features, I wanted to share this INCREDIBLE work by Renee4Atlanta that she helped create and wore at this past Dragon*Con not too long ago. Coming off of Ironheart's debut series, Renee took on the task to recreate the updated look and man is it intense! When you look at the photos, you can first find that of course Renee has a more comfy layer of clothing which the armor pieces are layered on top. From the top, Renee has the iconic Iron Man helmet which is colored red for the outer shell and the mask being a shiny silver shade. From the photos I did find, I don't know if the mask can actually come down or if Renee made this to showcase an open look. Getting down to the rest, you can see how some of the armor is segmented off/layered. Red looks to make up a good chunk of the outer layer whereas the inner portions are silver.

The chest piece also has some blue line added in to the dead center. The shoulder pieces also have a setup with back pieces directly behind it that look to be the thrusters that Riri adds for this model. You also have a tube that seems to be attached to the hip and connects to one of the arms. Said arm is pretty much armed with a heavy duty blaster whereas the other is more normal/Iron Man like (sorry if I say that phrase a lot!) The weaponized arm looks like it's a rail gun rather than a cannon and has a make-up of silver and black. Jumping back to the main chest piece, you have a small black section that has fantastic pattern added into it. 

When you get past the belt area you can see a portion of the first layer I mentioned up at the top. Both of the legs are identical and look super bulky in design too. Not to mention also the separation of these pieces as well. Black takes a more frontal view here with various indents/holes filled in black with the red surrounding it plus silver additions/accents. In some of the shots, you can see that Renee utilized buckles/fasteners to connect pieces together. I feel like this is such a smart move and can help with both removal and suiting up. As I'm typing this up, I learned that yes, the mask can come down and be pressed in plus Renee worked with RealAwesomeWorkz25 for the overall suit construction. Talk about teamwork! :D Check out these other photos I found!
