Just in time for the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park, the folks over at Paragon FX Group are releasing a pretty awesome looking prop replica in the form of the Cryo-Can. If you recall from the movie, this can (cleverly disguised as a can of Barbasol shaving cream) is used by the traitorous Dennis Nedry in an attempt to snag and store dino embryo’s for the company who paid him off. Spoiler: Doesn’t work out for him.
Starting this summer, you can own this prop replica by heading over to Paragon FX Group‘s website and reserving it today! You can also check out their other cool replicas from movies such as the Goonies, Blade Runner, Batman, and more!

CELEBRATE THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF JURASSIC PARK WITH YOUR OWN CRYOGENICS CANISTER
Paragon FX Group Helps Fans Bring Jurassic Park Movie Magic Home
New York- To celebrate the upcoming 30th Anniversary of Jurassic Park from Universal Pictures
and Amblin Entertainment, Paragon FX Group has announced the newest addition to their
product line, the Jurassic Park Cryogenics Canister (Cryo-Can).
Paragon FX Group, the premiere manufacturer of high-quality movie prop replicas for film and
television, has replicated yet another iconic piece of film memorabilia, Nedry’s cryogenics
canister or the Cryo-Can as it’s come to be known.
Instantly recognizable and among the most sought after of movie prop replicas, the Cryo-Can
has been on the short list of many a collector. Now, in celebration of the blockbuster film’s 30th
Anniversary, this limited-edition replica is finally available. Nedry never made it off the island
with his Cryo-Can, but now Jurassic Park aficionados can!
Developed by Biosyn (corporate rival of John Hammond) the Cryo-Can was designed to aid
Nedry in the surreptitious removal and transport of 10 viable dinosaur embryos from Jurassic
Park. Hidden within a heavily modified shaving cream can, a self-contained cooling unit was
capable of preserving the embryos for 36 hours. A two-tiered ‘pop-up’ centrifuge rack allowed
the vials to be strategically seated for storage and then pushed into the bottom coil for protective
transport.
Working closely with Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, Paragon FX Group’s team
was given access to the original hero-prop used in the film’s production. This close-up study of
the original has given us the opportunity to replicate everything from the proper labels on the
centrifuge tubes, right down to the very inventory tags that are present on the original prop as it
sits in the studio archives. Identical to the original, Paragon will be manufacturing this piece in
metal. This multi-piece CNC machined replica will also feature a ‘pop-up’ centrifuge rack and of
course, the entire unit can be seated within a Barbasol can.
Each machined replica will ship with 10 microcentrifuge tubes w/ labels, Barbasol canister, and
studio inventory tags. Enthusiasts can learn more at
