From Factory Entertainment and ThunderCats comes the officially licensed high-end collectible -- a limited edition Sword Of Omens prop replica from the iconic 1980's cartoon series, ThunderCats.
It requires a fair degree of artistic interpretation, working hand in hand with the licensor, to take 2D drawings created for animation 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.
One such artistic judgment involves determining the size of a 1:1 scale replica for an animated character. The wielder of the Sword Of Omens, Lion-O, has no official height, so the replica, which measures 41 inches (104 cm) in length, has been scaled to the proportions of an adult human standing 6.2" (1.9m) tall.
This replica sword is set in an “open” design and features a full-tang stainless steel blade with a mirror chrome finish, a cast metal hilt with acrylic inserts, and enamel detailing. A red imitation gemstone is a inset into the pommel.
Each replica also includes a numbered, wall-hanging wood display and a certificate of authenticity booklet. You can pre-order this now from our sponsor

Frankly I consider this one of the best that's things to come out for a while. Display wise, I'd rather have this shown blade up, not sure the provided hanger will allow for that. Ah well I don't really have wall space for another sword anyway.
"An adult human standing 6" tall." An adult human standing six inches tall?
I feel like a life size sword should be more than 41". That's definitely smaller than the original toy's sword or the Super7's.
Very cool, but it would be even cooler if they used some of the sapphire and gold accents from the old LJN roleplay toy.
Well isn't this awesome, Sword of Omens is one of my favourite swords from any IP. I still have the one from when I was a kid, this look tempting, and I'm not really huge on props.
