Sounds awesome!

I think it is going to be popular so I hope it is readily available!

Hopefully that's a good thing lol

Hell yeah I did! Thanks Joel - really appreciate it!

@@JurassicCollectables of course

Not now but I reckon it is a case of when, not if!

Thanks for tuning in! This was in a film props auction back in 2022 - there's a bit more info in the last video - if you follow the link in the description I discuss a bit there. Appreciate your comment!

Very interesting thank you! I suspect it was the chief sculptor who made the source claw. He recalls sculpting a claw that was taken and then reproduced, also recalls working on a skull for the opening, which could be the skull at the dig site. The skull gets couple of close ups. So perhaps he was tasked with sculpting the intended 'hero' close up pieces that were reproduced in resin by others in the props dept. Sadly the prop master Jerry Moss died in the 2000s, I know he would have known. But your comment reinforces my suspicion these were hand sculpted originally before being recast and painted/finished.

@@MATTDALOR1AN thanks Matt, really great to see you here 👌👌. Big fans of your work 👏

​​​​@@dancutd They definitely made multiples for the film. This particular claw comes from a crewmember who worked on the film and they indicated it was from the bottom of the tree. Beyond that are the matching paint scuffs, of which there are more examples than are shown here in the document and match the 4k print. That's the only shot I can be conclusive about, and screen matches ultimately are the deciding factor. But yes the digsite claw and also the one being thrown by Sam Neill are different claws, I can be certain due to their markings and information from another owner of a screen used claw. Furthermore, if you check out the previous video you can see how this claw also appears to be displayed at the 'Making of Jurassic Park' exhibition in 1994. Alongside an array of Alan Grant's screen used props. Thanks for tuning in!

​​@@alfaomegaproductions Yes I've personally been able to identify three - but it's probable many more were made for production. Thanks for tuning in!

It's a really lovely little piece!

Thanks for tuning in! Perhaps one day it can be displayed along with the objects on the channel! Until then I'll do my best to document everything found 👍

Thanks so much for checking this out, Edsel! Very well thank you - hope you are doing OK!

@@JurassicOutpost Thanks for tuning in 🙏🙏 very kind. Big fans of your work keep it up!

The documentary

Thanks for tuning in! It's funny because I've had various replica canes over the years and the first question every time is - is that a real mosquito? And especially if children are seeing it, I feel a respect for even the tiniest life form can inform how they treat other living beings for the rest of their lives. You are right - the mozzie lives are brief, but I still feel a responsibility to show a bit of care for living things. That way - we can all be cloned in the future for Cenozoic Park! 🤣

Thanks so much! That's very kind of you. And really glad you enjoyed the close up look. I couldn't believe it at first, opening the box and picking it up. Unbelievable. Best, JC

I can say with confidence that was another auction - one afterwards went for upwards of 60 (not mine either!). This was a very fortunate auction it seems. And Propstore - I agree the lots climb fast! I can't keep up, so that's definitely not me! Thanks for tuning in David 🙏

Thanks TD3K! Appreciate your tuning in and kind words as always 🙏🙏

Ah that was another hero claw! A few have sold over the past 3 years, that was probably at a more prominent auction

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Ah David great to see you back and I hope you are well. I was very fortunate with this one eh. Thanks for your kind words

😂 haha Im always up for homing a piece of cinema history. I was very fortunate this time. Thanks for tuning in!

Happy Jurassic June to you and thanks so much for your kind comment. Best, JC

Thanks Brandon!! Amazing to see close up, I feel very fortunate. I hope the video did it justice. Thanks for your comment and tuning in

Very kind words thank you nublarresort! Honestly very humbled and honored to be close to something I grew up watching. Thanks for watching and your very nice comment! Best, JC

As always great to see you here NightYoshi - that's very kind of you to say so. As a kid I dreamt of this prop, I honestly never expected to bump in to it in real life. Very honored. Thanks for your kind words 🙏

Thank you JT2000, great to see you tuning in as always. I feel very fortunate and honored. Best, JC

Thank you Matt, that means an awful lot. I'm glad I'm able to share it with fellow passionate Jurassic fans like yourself!

Haha! Right! Adding that to the list absolutely. Holding it in that threatening 'respect' pose from the digsite 😂😂

Thank you and thanks for being a loyal fan of the channel. I'm so glad I can share it close up. Best, JC

Thank you! It is a staggering thing to have seen up close. I hope you enjoyed the video

@@JurassicCollectables Absolutely. I myself own one of the recently available replicas sold by Doctor Collector and even got one as a gift for my friend. A special claw to say the least.
