Even though I'm not a Thundercats fan I still really like the Omen, even the emitter. I guess that's probably because I've never seen Thundercats so I don't associate the hilt with the show.
Also for those of you who don't like Thundercats or aren't a fan of the emitter, the claws(more of cross guard) can be removed. So if you got the saber with the blank discs and then removed the claws there would be very little association with Thundercats and the saber would still look very nice.
I'll have to pick this beast up some time.

I must admit, I saw this and truly laughed out loud.
It takes some front to go for something like this - it's beautiful, but I have to imagine there won't be the same demand as for 'generic' hilts simply because of the associations.
I'm hoping it'll be possible to mix and match segments of the hilt - I can see this with the crimson pommel, azure hilt and black crossguard, for example.
I'm also curious if the claws can be reversed - one up, one down would look really cool, and could even offer a little extra protection to the main hand of the wielder.
Will I buy this? Hmmm... It's not on my shortlist just yet - but as a fan of the show when I was a kid, I have thought in the past that a decent replica would be something I'd like. With a silver blade this could definitely work.
Also, whoever gets this, I hope you have multiple blade lengths, simply to replicate the iconic sequence where the blade lengthens from a dagger to a shoto to a broadsword... There must be pics!

I want one. My wallet and sense of practicality say 'no', but I want one... I don't know that I'll go buying one anytime soon, but as I'm slowly getting into Thundercats, I might grab one next convention season... or perhaps if I come into unforeseen wealth in the near future. I'd LOVE to have a crossguard emitter like that!

I don't know that I want all of one but I was thinking an Azure Reaper with the Azure Omen emitter with blank blue discs. . MHS is so fun and I don't have a completely MHS saber yet.

I was a big Thundercats fan a long time ago! I saw this and my jaw dropped! This is a beauty, and even more excited that both ends are MHS compatible! I really wish I could drop $450ish on this! I have to see this as a staff. I've always like the idea of an actual sword-like lightsaber. This is it! When I was a kid my friend had a toy version of this sword. Now I can get an adult toy version!

This is actually rather brilliant in terms of an idea and to increase their market because I don't think any saber smith produces a lightsaber from another source other than Star Wars.
What this means is that possibly Ultrasaber's can start producing sabers from other sources that were really popular.
I'm not exactly sure what, but the sources are nearly endless with all of the stuff that has come out or is coming out. It's nice to see Ultrasaber's branching out of the usual "lightsaber". Imagine all the buying people will be doing at conventions and in general when they see a Thundercat's styled lightsaber.
I can't wait to get one of these and stick it on a Yari Pike, effectively making a halberd or trident perhaps.

When I saw this I instantly thought of the sword font you can download onto it...

Fellow "forum old guys" may notice that the name of the saber is a clever throwback to the PVC model called the Omen... and at the same time a great reference to its inspiration. Well done!
I'm probably going to have to pick one of these puppies up, if nothing else to give that crossguard a try in sparring...

OMG!!! I grew up with Thundercats, the 80's version is one of my favorite cartoons EVER! I have every episode on DVD and a lot of the toys as well. I am SO excited about this new saber, I love the Azure and the Dark Omen and will probably get both eventually. I've finally found a saber that I want a silver blade for. This saber looks fantastic and I especially want to thank Deep and Ultra for creating this one, it is now the next saber on my list to get!!! I need a towel... I even have the oh-so-rare 80's Sword of Omens toy! And several of the older and newer figures. There's also an orange hair variant Lion O just out of camera shot.
