00:00Today's toy spot is a bit of a big one today.
00:03We're looking at the new Bandai Thundercats toys.
00:06I'm going to have a look today and show you guys the deluxe Sword of Omens.
00:32Let me take you back.
00:33Let me take you back to when I was younger.
00:35I actually remember vividly going through the bay with my Mimum at the time.
00:41Well, she is still my mother, but at the time that we went through it, I remember seeing
00:46the original Sword of Omens.
00:48It was just cheap plastic.
00:50It lit up where the eye of Thundera is.
00:55It lit up, but that's about all it did.
00:57I always wanted one, I never got one.
01:00But now that the new Thundercats series is out, and they've released a Thundercats Sword
01:05of Omens, this guy jumped on it.
01:09If there was a train moving by, this guy jumped on that train and was on his way to Thundercats
01:14County, where the population was many.
01:18Because there are many fans of Thundercats, and I think I can agree with many other Thundercats
01:24fans who have said that the new Thundercats cartoon is awesome.
01:28I enjoy it, I love watching it.
01:31I can't wait.
01:32I've picked up most of the Thundercats toys, I will be going through and reviewing them
01:36for you guys, but I definitely had to get my hands on the Sword of Omens.
01:41It's extremely large, so much so, so much so, I can't get it all in camera here.
01:47It's ages four and up, so this guy is in luck.
01:51On the front we've got the new Lion-O.
01:55And I like him, I like Lion-O quite a bit.
01:59The Sword, as you can see there, extendable blade.
02:03That's good, because it is an awfully small sword, as you guys can see.
02:10It has a Try-Me, but luckily enough the remove pull tab is still there, so hopefully batteries
02:16still work.
02:18The Deluxe Sword of Omens, lights and sounds, requires three LR44 batteries, but batteries
02:25are included.
02:27There's nothing worse, my friends, than getting a toy that requires batteries, especially at
02:31Christmas time.
02:32I've been there.
02:34You get it at Christmas time, you open it up, I got it!
02:37And then you realize, no, there's no batteries, mom and pa forgot to buy batteries, because
02:41they thought batteries were included.
02:44This time, no disappointments.
02:46Christmas will come and go, no sad faces.
02:50You can go to http.
02:55forward slash, forward slash, get tag dot Moby, you can download a snap tag, which would be this
03:02right here.
03:03warning, choking hazard, small parts not intended for children under three years of aid.
03:09Uh, small parts, um, small parts, if you are a child and you can put this entire Sword
03:18of Omens into your mouth, I think perhaps you should join the circus as Alligator Boy, or
03:26Duck Boy, because they could just, you know, swallow, it's gone.
03:29Sword of Omens.
03:30Sword of Omens.
03:31My Sword of Omens!
03:32Duck Boy apparently swallowed it.
03:34On the back, we've got this very serious child.
03:38Look how serious this child is.
03:40This child is not messing around.
03:44It says, wield the power of the mystic Sword of Omens to become Lino, Lord of the Thundercats.
03:49Thundercats, push to extend blade, push for sight beyond sight, and finally, push for sounds.
03:58And you can see the, the eye lighting up with the Thundercats symbol.
04:05Thundercats are loose.
04:06Thundercats, other things that you can receive, other things that you can buy, is a standard
04:13Sword of Omens, the smaller version, which I passed on.
04:16I really didn't want these smaller.
04:18Forget that crap.
04:19I want the large Sword of Omens.
04:21If I'm going to hold off my fortress from would-be attackers, I want the larger Sword of
04:27Omens.
04:28There also was a claw shield, but very, very important to read here.
04:32each sold separately
04:37other things that you can get from the new
04:38Thundercats line is we've got the
04:404 inch basic line of figures
04:44also I have
04:44picked up I will be reviewing those
04:47Thundercats across the board my
04:48friends Thundercats are loose
04:52courtesy of the review spot
04:54well I can't wait any longer
04:56I mean it's really already out of package
04:58but I'm going to get it fully out of package
05:00I'm going to play around with it
05:01and I'm going to come right back and I'll show you
05:04guys the deluxe sword
05:06of omens I can't
05:08wait I hope you can't wait
05:12come right back guys
05:15come right back
05:18and behold in my hand
05:20the sword of omens out of
05:22package
05:24there's really not a lot to be said
05:26for it so far but let me tell you my
05:28friends it gets a lot cooler than
05:30that this sword is sexy
05:32and I'm going to hopefully proceed in the next several minutes to show you how sexy the sword is
05:38down below is the battery compartment
05:42take yourself a phillips screwdriver
05:45and inside are those batteries
05:47if you need to change out your LR44 batteries
05:51on the very bottom here you have an on and off switch
05:54I've taken the liberty of already setting it to on
05:57figured there was no way if I wanted to eat up more time in this review by having to turn
06:02it off then back on
06:04I just have it left on
06:07on the one side you can see the eye of Thundera
06:13which you can't help but now notice that it kind of also bears a resemblance to the eye in Lord
06:19of the Rings
06:20coincidence? who really knows
06:23on the other side you've got the Thundercats logo
06:28I've always loved the Thundercats logo
06:31a little known fact
06:32or a fact that you probably did not know
06:34is when I was younger
06:35I considered getting a Thundercats tattoo
06:38I was in junior high
06:40a bit nerdy yes I know
06:42luckily this guy didn't get a tattoo
06:44certainly not of Thundercats
06:46but I still love the logo
06:48I love the Thundercats logo
06:52it looks like it's been slightly changed
06:55versus the original Thundercats logo
06:56because I thought there was a little more of a predominant nose
06:59it seems a little more stylized
07:01but you've still got the essence of Thundercats right there
07:06it's not really who cares
07:07who cares let's see
07:08let's see the goods as it were
07:10there are several functions and light up features
07:14both operated by your two buttons
07:17you have a button right there
07:18right underneath the eye
07:20you've also got
07:22a little button on the handle of the sword
07:25we'll operate first this button
07:27so I'll show you guys that first
07:29when you press it
07:31the sides of the blade will extend out
07:34you'll also get your first bit of sound
07:54and you guys probably can't see that
07:56but that eye also lights up
07:59unfortunately it only lights up on the one side
08:02the side that has the Thundercats logo
08:04it does not light up on the side
08:06with the actual eye of Thundercats
08:08or the sight beyond sight
08:10so even though it does make the sound
08:13unfortunately that one side does not light up
08:15which is a bit disappointing
08:16but I still appreciate the fact
08:19that the one side does still light up
08:23now as you also heard
08:25it has a slash noise
08:27as well
08:28which also will play into this lever here as well
08:32you press this lever
08:34this lever right here
08:37it will make a similar
08:39yet a little more satisfying
08:41of a slash noise
08:46it also makes the
08:48as you can see
08:52it makes the
08:53I guess the energy zap
08:55from the sword sound
08:58and
08:59it also makes the slashing sound as well
09:03if you hold it
09:04you hold this button
09:11and let it go
09:12you get the Thundercats hoe
09:14if you hold it though
09:24apparently Lion-O has forgotten
09:27what he's going to say
09:28it's only letting go of that lever
09:30that he says the rest of the
09:32the sound
09:33now the blade itself
09:35is relatively short
09:37on the end though
09:38the blade does also extend
09:40to extend it
09:42it actually is locked
09:43as it is now
09:44but if you hold this button again
09:46you can either pull it
09:52or if you really want to be cool
09:54like this guy
09:56what you can also do
09:58is hold the button
09:59now I can't do it probably on camera
10:00but you can hold the sword
10:02and swing it
10:05and if you get a good enough swing
10:08the blade will fully swing
10:10and extend out
10:11now fully extended
10:13you've got yourself
10:13a considerably long sword
10:17considerably long sword
10:19I would say
10:20and I'm not really good with measurements
10:21but I'd say it's probably about
10:2320 inches or so
10:25I'm sure it says somewhere on the package
10:28let's have a look
10:30I'm going to see if I can find the
10:31hold on a second
10:33I'm going to check my instructions here
10:36it doesn't really say
10:38a bit of a disappointment
10:39oh well
10:42still
10:43it is a very cool sword
10:44very glad I picked it up
10:47again
10:47there is a basic
10:48sword of omens
10:49there is also the deluxe
10:50but this
10:51this to me
10:52is the way you want to go
10:53when you're done
10:54you can push the blade back in
10:56take these sides
10:57fold them in
10:58and then
10:59push them back
11:00into the actual
11:01sword
