You could then say that there isn't a can in real life with a hidden compartment for Dino vials. But that seems more on the level of functionality than appearance. In terms of appearances, you are looking at something that you could easily purchase.

I suppose you could say that your focus is actually on the appearance of the vials and its housing. Only issue is that such form of housing is also not that uncommon, though perhaps hard to purchase outside of a laboratory setting, and the cost of the real thing could actually be much more expensive. So yes, I stand corrected that if one really wants to have that appearance of the vials + housing captured, then it does stand out in that sense



I think I see where you are coming from. I guess its a matter of how we enjoy movies too. For me, I tend to remember movies in terms of characters more than what they use. So it seems that I am one of those persons who would buy a Batman figure than spend money buying his utility belt.

But now in discussing this with you, I have come to realize there are others (like yourself) who enjoy the movie in terms of the gadgetry as well. I can now see how in such a scenario, how one would legitimately want to recreate the appearance of that gadget itself.

Think of it as an action figure, but instead of a character it’s an item. It’s, at its base, a toy, like we all here collect. It’s just a 1:1 scale accessory. If they made a hot toy with this as an accessory would you not find it cool?

I think it’s neat as hell. But for 200$ I’d have to use it to smuggle narcotics across the border to pay for it.
