The Making of the Sword of Omens

Here are the details for the Sword of Omens Comic-Con contest!

• Handcrafted by Renegade Effects Group, by the artisan Dragon, 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 enter.
  
  
• In addition to this special giveaway, the Warner Bros. booth (#4545) will also be handing out free foam replicas of the Sword of Omens on Friday, July 22 and Sunday, July 24.
  
  
• World premiere screening on Friday, July 22 at 3:30pm in Room 6A. Afterwards, Join Larry Kenney (voice of Claudus, voice of Lion-O in the original series), Emmanuelle Chriqui (voice of Cheetara), producers Michael Jelenic and Ethan Spaulding and art director Dan Norton for a panel discussion on the series. IGN's Matt Fowler will be moderating the panel.
  
  
• ThunderCats begins with an hour-long special premiere event on Friday, July 29, at 8 p.m. (ET, PT) on Cartoon Network. Following the premiere, the show will air regularly on Cartoon Network Friday nights at 8:30 p.m. (ET, PT) beginning August 5.

Only the true Lord of the ThunderCats can wield the mighty Sword of Omens! And only one lucky fan will be able to win this exclusive Comic-Con replica at the Warner Bros. booth.
