HAs anyone seen this??
For the first time in my life, I'm actually sad about something like this that I cannot have...
Thunder Thursdays: Win ThunderCats' Sword of Omens! - TV Preview at IGN Apparently they are only making three. |
That's really cool. Would've loved to have seen a company like Noble Collection tackle the making of a replica (that way it could be bought by those who want it), but oh well.

SDCC Replica Sword of Omens and FREE Foam Sword of Omens
I found this info over at Toy News International (EDIT: Original Source: HERE).
"To celebrate the highly anticipated premiere of ThunderCats, the newest Warner Bros. Animation series on Cartoon Network, the studio has commissioned a replica Sword of Omens, Lion-O's mythical weapon used in the series, to be given away to one lucky fan, exclusively at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2011. Handcrafted by the artisan Dragon of Renegade Effects Group, this replica Sword of Omens is forged of aircraft aluminum (1/3 of what steel weighs - but just as tough!) and features a hand-carved eyepiece and ThunderCats logo. Sword design taken directly from the drawings of the Warner Bros. Animation artists. Visit the Warner Bros. booth (#4545) to find out how you could win the Sword of Omens. In addition to this special prize, the Warner Bros. booth (#4545) will also be giving away free foam replicas of the Sword of Omens to fans on Friday, July 22, and Sunday, July 24." http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/z...of_Omens_3.jpg SDCC 2011 Thundercats Sword of Omens http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/z...of_Omens_2.jpg SDCC 2011 Thundercats Sword of Omens http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/z...of_Omens_1.jpg SDCC 2011 Thundercats Sword of Omens |
Yep its an amazing piece of craftsmanship. Id love one of those foam versions. Very sad i cant attend. Im sure a couple will turn up on ebay at stupid prices!
|
...Times like this I wish I didn't live in Illinois... :'(
I'll have to hope I can pick up one of the foam swords for cheapish. Also want one of the convention bags REALLY BAD. |
Does anyone have the means of finding out, if they will mass produce something like this? Even if it's stainless steel...?

Only thing I could see happening is if the person who gets it makes casts of it to sell. I'd love one for Cosplay purposes...

"If they make a production sword at all, it probably won't be till they get a movie made (assuming they ever do). Which then means it'll be based off of the sword design in said movie, and most likely made by Noble Collection. This hear is meant, as far as I can tell, purely as a one-off thing. Would be cool if they did mass produce it, but I don't see that happening."
They mass produced the original version, back in 2005. |

Did they do an official Sword of Omens? I've seen a lot of Unofficial ones.

We'll just have to wait and see. |
The video makes it seem like there are more than one being made with the whole, "Since each one of these is handmade, does that also mean that each one is gonna be different?" part.

Assuming they do go and make a production sword, it'll be designed by someone else, and with the mindset of it being a mass production sword. |
