How Screen Accurate Prop Replicas Are Made! 

Jurassic Park is my nr 1 movie of all time. I would love to have Hammonds kane and the can. The one thing i want the most is the nightwision googles Tim used at the T-Rex attack with moving parts 🥰😍. Sadly, no one have ever made them, so i can't get a pair 😢

As much as I like the cryo can, it still doesn't screw together. I would have bought it in a heartbeat if it actually screwed together.

If only the cryo can had the correct threaded screw base. I cannot understand how they missed that on a $399 replica that’s supposed to be accurate to the original prop.

Lol, good one

Sans flimsy cane.. :/

I see what you did there.

Ha! Well played. Well said. Except the Ford Explorer.

They were so awesome I had to hold on to my butts

Awesome stuff! And you're right. As a semi-perfectionist myself, once I see something, I will have to fix it because *I* know it's not right :) Well done.

Wonderful people all of you. I was getting excited as much as you seemed to be. Will there be a cryo can replica with a screw bottom?

Mad props for your mad props! These pieces belong in a museum!

I have been Saving up for your hero bladerunner blaster for a minute now. Hope to order it soon.

Can you guys consider a working Emanator from BR 2049? Please.

That's a man, who regardless of how successful he is, you can say cares about what he does.

Also totally makes sense from a business perspective though. When you are selling prop replicas then fellow enthusiasts are your market, so if you would notice then its entirely appropriate to assume they would notice too.

Bro OMG so true could once shifted the foundation of my home 6in with that hold lol

The difference is that you don't _intend_ the garden hose to grab anything. If you actually wanted it to grab, it wouldn't work.

Or the dreaded orange extension cord tangle up

Or VGA and DVI cords!

@gcewing😂😂

Same, peak 90s ASMR before that was a thing

That actually stuck with me as well. I know for a fact it unscrewed and screwed back. Seeing it just pull out was less satisfying. Still a very cool replica but it’s the lil things like that that stick in my head. And the function of it actually spraying shaving cream would put it over the top.

That's why as soon as a part is considered "aerospace," orders of magnitude change.

Yep, been there, I joined a company, looked at their mechanical drawings and halved the cost of outsources items.

Hah yeah, that was the only limitation i could see from there, i was thinking that there was something missing, and that was the shaving foam.

@@Games_and_Music imagine how amazing it would be if they made tiny re-fill capsules you put inside that gives you that squirt of foam

@@medievilassassin Yeah, but i can imagine that it would be really tricky to do. There's almost no space left in there, and where to find flat shaving cream capsules, as usually cream cans are taller rather than flatter. And i'm not sure if messing around with those laughing gas capsules is an option either. Also, as others have pointed out as well, this can slides open and shut, instead of a screw tightening mechanism.

@@Games_and_Music yeah the non screw in thing is an irritation , but all they would need to do is the aluminium base hollow that out and the same with the rod in the middle. Put a high pressure air valve at the bottom that you put a car pump on and that’s it

@@medievilassassin That's true, they could maybe hide it in the base and use the rod as a tube to get it to the top. It might still not really be trivial though. I wonder if a cheaper prop that only serves as the shaving cream one would be a better solution. Because in the movie they also used the DNA version and a shaving cream version on set.

My 3 room appartment has evolved into one big showroom over the past 2 decades. My livingroom is full of superhero statues, RC hotrods, replicas and my own creations on display in various shelves, cabinets and display boxes. One corner has a huge turtle table for my tortoise that I built looking like a jurrassic park with a post apocalyptic 1/10 scale figure I made as a guard over the beast...... My bedroom has cabinets with all my replica blasters and even some statues. My 3rd and biggest room is my hobby workshop where all the unfinished work in progress things flood the walls... kinda like adams workshop but with less OCD... LOL I got more than 30 2feet tall statues, maybe 30 different unique handbuilt custom rc cars, around 20 replica blasters and a myriad of other doodads, props and things... I also own a couple motorcycles I rebuilt and custom made myself. I built alot of my own furniture and made most of my house lamps as well... And I have made my own backpack from scratch... Ppl usually drop their jaw when they enter for the first time and my young nephews love coming here... It is my toy paradise. All the things I though was cool when I was a kid... -Currently building a Honda PC800 motorcycle as a 2 wheeled Knight Rider theme, It is gonna be so awesome seing ppls reactions next summer! Sorry for the rant... I guess I was trying to say that the Showroom almost always follows as a consequence of a growing collection. Ask any collector what their biggest problem is; Space! (You won't believe how many big empty flamingo filled boxes I have stored...) lol

And makes you realize it's probably 100x more work making those replicas than making the original prop for the movie. They didn't have to worry about accuracy to anything. The Barbasol can for the movie was probably done in 24 hours but an accurate replica is months of work.

I think they could at least have bent the legs a bit, they look a bit too wonky without the joints. But yeah, there's plenty of big mosquitos out there, but i think they're limited to their local region and China. He didn't seem to be against the idea of using real ones, but his reasons were a bit flimsy i agree. I found the cane itself to be looking even worse, it hardly looked like bone to me, more like some spongy rubber. I don't expect it to be cheap either because of that amber piece. But i liked the can and grappler a lot though.

@@Games_and_Music Right!? I mean, for something that it's not cheap (replicas are not) could get a little more attention on those details, I didn't like the fact that the cane can't even be used as a cane, it could have a steel rod inside or something, I bet that a fair a portion of people who buy this, would want to use it. (edit: Yep, grappler and barbasol can looks great tho)

You sell them?

Sorry buddy but the two I made both unscrew as seen on screen.

@@minigeff4422 in this video? They are clearly slip fit into the can. So no... They don't screw into the can. Meaning if you pick this up off a shelf by the top rim of the can and shake it the insert will 100% slip out of the can and hit the floor

@@xGaLoSx yes of course

@@BroughtToYouByDDean no I think you’re misunderstanding. You said that your cryocans are the only ones that unscrew from the base. I was replying to you pointing out that the two cans I have made also unscrew. I made my cans for myself from scratch, I’ve nothing to do with Paragon.

Specifically, wasn't it an issue only on either cartridges that presented left or right in the internal magazine? (Making it harder to diagnose and also your point about hiding it during some of the trials.)

@@fustigate314159 It was magazines that were loaded starting on the left, and not only that it would occur on the seventh round from that magazine. Since the magazine holds eight rounds the seventh one is where there are no longer any more rounds pushing up from both sides, and it’s this lopsided pressure which those nubs were designed to compensate for. And yeah to get the gun to pass the field trials they went through all the magazines to load them all starting from the right, that way no one would encounter the feeding issue.

Same! I was really hoping the replica had some way of functioning like the real thing so people could experience that. Maybe some skilled maker out there will modify this prop replica to do just that!

DODSON! It's DODSON here! see? nobody cares

Does it come in Menthol?

Most prop companies don't care. For instance, HCG recast Nickatron's ghost trap and didn't bat an eye.

ya, i noticed that too. If they fix that, i'd buy.

Hah, the comment directly under yours says: @BroughtToYouByDDean 3 hours ago I'm still very happy and take pride in the fact that my cryocans are the only ones that ACTUALLY unscrew from the mechanical base... So i think you should hit that dude up, hah

Pretty good given how the machine drives us all in the coral.
