“This year we are featuring a return visit by Bumblebee, the spectacular 10-foot robot cosplay character who was such a hit at Spa-Con 3. A photo of Bumblebee arriving at Spa-Con 3 by Spa-Con photographer Alejandro Martinez of Hot Springs won the 2018 AlFiE award for Best Photo,” said Bill Solleder, marketing director for Visit Hot Springs
“An average of 5,000 fans have attended each edition of Spa-Con,” Solleder said, “and at least that many are expected for the 2019 version.”
The Bumblebee appearance is arranged by Extreme Costumes, which creates spectacular cosplay characters. Extreme Costumes’ founder Thomas DePetrillo of Rhode Island has been creating these giant robots for 22 years. A look at his creations is at www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjtnSe0ctPM
