Ultracon 2015 - Photos

Post by Ben Bentley »

Ultracon here in the UK is coming up on September 13th in Sheffield. This year they are displaying the largest collection of Bat-Vehicles in the United Kingdom including one of Fibreglass Freaks Batmobile's, a replica 66 movie Batcyle and 66 Bat-Boat.

You can find out more via their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/ULTRA-CO ... 3481430581

Any UK fans making the trip to the convention? It'd be great to see some of you there.

I wish I could make that, but I'm at a Con' this weekend and the weekend after this, so I can't see me getting a pass from the Mrs. for this one too. Three weekends in a row at Con's could get me in trouble.

Ultracon was a great show! It was a pleasure to chat with Mark Perkins, owner of the Batmobile, Batcycle and Bat-Boat on display at the convention. It was one of those conversations where it becomes abundantly clear that we live in a very small world when we realized that we both have friends across the pond in common.

That looks awesome Ben. I wish I could've made it.

If I haven't seen a Batcycle or Batboat before (in the USA) I would have probably moved Heaven and Earth to get there as I've only seen a Batmobile (several times) in the South at conventions in the UK.

Also could anyone try out the Batmobile for size or did you just get lucky? Every Batmobile that I've seen the owner wouldn't let anyone near the paint job?

Not sure what the deal was, I think some people had bought "certificates" to have photo ops with various vehicles at the con. Fortunately i'm friendly with the owner of the 66 Bat-Vehicles in question ;)

It's all about who you know.

If you hear of any other bat related convention type stuff do let me know. I didn't know this was happening until you started this thread.
