Meet Tony Swatton, a 30 veteran blacksmith, forger of iconic weapons for feature films and real life Man At Arms. In his online series, he re-creates real life versions of some of the most famous fictional fan boy swords, including pieces of cold steel made famous in Masters of the Universe, Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings.
But how about we start here by sharing his geek awesome step-by-step process of making a real life Sword of Omens, the iconic blade held by Lion-O, Lord of the ThunderCats.
Well so what if Swatton mispronounces Thundera, as in the Eye of Thundera and the animated warrior cats’ alien extinct home world, just wait until you behold the amazing final product.
And I will use any excuse to post the amazing ThunderCats opening credits, which I consider (as do many other animation nerds) a kick ass action packed masterpiece as far as ’80s cartoon title sequences go.
