Nano ‘Jurassic Park’ Replica Set Celebrates The Movie’s 30th Anniversary
By Nicole Rodrigues, 11 Aug 2023
30 years ago, audiences worldwide embarked on a thrilling journey as scientists reanimated dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.
Although many of us may have yearned to witness real dinosaurs (from a safe distance, of course), the essence of the movie and its spin-off Jurassic World seemed to emphasize refraining from playing god. Despite the numerous cautionary signals, the cast and crew often found themselves entangled in perilous situations, even when the wisest course of action was to leave the islands undisturbed—unless they were operating on a nano-scale, that is.
Jada Toys commemorates the franchise’s 30th anniversary through a miniature representation, offering a tiny model of the iconic park gates. Although it captures only a fraction of Isla Nublar, it symbolizes the commencement of the treacherous journey, serving as the initial sight that greets the scientists before they venture into the domain of the dinosaurs.
Above, the emblematic Jurassic Park sign stands flanked by two torch-bearing columns, beyond which presumably lie the electric fences, intended to confine the creatures but proving ineffective as the movie unfolds.
In addition to the gates, the set features a 1.65-inch Ford Explorer and a Jeep Wrangler (which also released its own set of vinyl decoratives to deck your Wrangler out like seen in the movie), both adorned with the film’s characteristic color palette. Both vehicles are die-cast and equipped with functional wheels, enabling you to navigate them across the miniature set and craft your own nano-sized rendition of Jurassic Park.
The nano set is currently available online for US$24.99.
