I've always thought this is one of the nicest looking swords in all of the cartoons

[phalanxs]

Is no one gonna mention the fact that THEY GOT MATT FREAKING MERCER ONTO THE EPISODE?!

That's amazing.

[MrRavenXavier]

After everything you've done, I still think this is the most impressive piece I've seen.

[johnprudent]

I came across this video 4 years late. But, it's great to see that such care was taken to actually hand-craft this memorable sword in a time when I'm sure other, more expedient, methods could easily have been used. Great work!

[littleaqua]

Sword of Omens, give me sight beyond sight!

[Eurisko]

Awesome. This sword is so beautiful. Wished the eye of omens lit up though.

[yourmomisthegameandimalrea]

I really wished that thundercats 2011 remake continued

[CarlosChristian-nt]

Wow ! You sure know how to bring out the "THUNDER!" ! Into making Lion-O 's mighty weapon !

[rachelbrenner]

I would love to see She-Ra's crown and sword. Also Lion-o's golden claw guantlet which also was the sheath for the sword of omens in it's retracted form.

[katasiapa]

It's really cool. It would be great if it has LED to light up the logo, nice work.

[roncash]

OMG, Best build ever! I need this in my life!

[GCJACK]

Should've made the dagger version that's shown before Lion-O turns it into the longsword. Would've been nice to see it as a companion piece.

[fabiolais]

It's so beatiful I could cry. Amazing work.

thunder, Thunder, THUNDER... THUNDERCATS

[kaosu]

These guys are pure beast!! Please oh please do the Rebellion sword from Devil May Cry 4 (it looks the best in that game)

[shinigami]

Much respect to your craftsmanship! Yesterday, I watched a guy build this sword out of foam and plastic. I feel silly for even watching that now. Yours looks beautiful!!!

[jasoncook]

That sword was cool, now how about either doing He-Man's power sword or the sword from Conan the barbarian ?

[Defx]

You had a video making the Sword of Omens, and not a single "Thundercats! was given??   Not even by the guy who does the voice of Tygra!?  So disappointed.

[ShandraVdeG]

Well, since Matthew Mercer shows up at the end of this, how about Craven Edge from Critical Role? (Look it up, it's a fantastic show with amazing storytelling.)

[RikkiRoxxNWS]

Absolutely amazing craftsmanship. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of work that goes into this kind of thing. Incredible.
