Thank you for your interest in Paragon's Cryogenics cannister. Paragon does not have the license to do paper weights, shot glasses and the like. Licenses are sold by the category and that's not our jam.
As for the flex in the cane. This is by design. In fact, if you pay close attention, you can actually see the screen cane flex when Hammond leans on his. This is because it's just a prop; it's supposed to be a dinosaur tail. Of course it isn't intended to support his weight. The design isn't real-world practical. The flex simply makes for a more durable design. Rigidity here would equal fragility. Our goal was to produce a display replica of that which is used on screen and nothing more.
The vertebrae are incredibly thin at the bottom and we did not want to alter the original's design by beefing them up, etc. I'm sure you could appreciate there is no one size fits all with regard to a would-be functional cane. What might work for one, would not work for all, etc. Again, a different category of product all together with it's own issues. With that, we have a prop replica license and the cane replica is indeed, simply for display.
We'll have to differ on would-be support structures. Resin will crack (depending on temperature) when poured around cold metal objects. These fractures can happen over a period of time and we did not want sleeping (incubating) errors to occur in the product. I've been witness to this on numerous resin replicas from multiple companies. Since the cane is only for display, it rendered the issue moot.
Now, all that said, I get it! People like adds. They want things to do more than their supposed to, once we pull them from the film world. A fun idea but ultimately a different item than we would offer.
Thanks again for the kind words. I appreciate your insights. We're trying to get a little deeper into what goes into designing and manufacturing some of these pieces, as we do more interviews, videos, etc. We'll get more into this one in upcoming spots.
