Thundercats Sword Of Omens Replica Open For Preorder
On the next special occasion, give your significant other the gift of sight beyond sight with the Thundercats Sword of Omens. It’s real now!
How did this happen? You can thank a serious effort from the collectible-crafters at Factory Entertainment, who have worked on real-world props from properties like James Bond, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Star Trek, but said this was one of the harder jobs they’ve tackled.
“It requires a fair degree of artistic interpretation and interpolation, working hand in hand with the licensor, to take 2D drawings or toy sculpts, both of which were intended for a less detailed execution, and realize them as fully developed and full-sized real-world items,” said Jordan Schwartz, President and CEO of Factory Entertainment. “We’ve been privileged to work with Mattel over the last year to create several stunning replicas from the iconic Masters of the Universe toy line, which will ship to our customers this Spring and Summer. Taking what we learned from that experience and applying it to ThunderCats, we feel we’ve again knocked it out of the park and created a replica of the Sword of Omens that will absolutely delight die- hard ThunderCats fans.”
The Thundercats Sword of Omens is a full-tang stainless steel blade with a mirror-chrome finish, capped at the end by a cast metal hilt with acrylic inserts and enamel detailing. The piece de resistance is the red imitation “cat-eye” gemstone, set into the pommel.
Factory says they’re working on other Thundercats props, including Mumm-ra’s helmet, for future release. As for the sword, preorders are open today at Factory’s website.
