CAT and the Aliens Power Loader / Hot toys?

Hey guys,
Anyone heard this? As the story goes, when Aliens introduced the Power Loader, the folks at Caterpillar decided to take pride in the design instead of feeling like they missed out on some co-marketing.
In the Cat design lab where they 3D print all of their designs, they have a powerloader in the conference room...just sitting on the table. I think it's a "Hot Toys" but everyone thinks it's just another 3D print. The room is filled with hundreds of much more detailed 1-50 models including the monster 100 ton mover. They are somewhat oblivious to the fact that it is a $1000 item on ebay. Compared to a $30 million piece of equipment, $1,000 is a rounding error.

Has anyone heard the relationship to CAT or backstory to the loader? It might be as simple as it being safety yellow and black. CAT colors.

EDIT: Should I cross post this in the general thread to get more input? Not everyone is a collectibles fan?

Thanks. Let's consolidate this conversation in the Off Topic. It is more about CAT than the actual toy.

Joe, You are correct, its Hot Toys Power Loader. Im looking at mine right now.

Ahh, Lear60man, you are welcome for giving you the opportunity to post that you have one. What was the story. Were they a limited run? Are they rare? Did the value skyrocket? How many were made?

Weirdly after reading this thread last night, this popped up on my Instagram discovery

Found it.

Hmmmm I think they came out in 2010ish? I dont know how many were made. I paid something like $350 for it back in the day and there are a couple on Ebay right now from $599 to $650. Like all Hot Toys products...its awesome. Everything articulates and there is a little button hidden that turns on a spinning orange caution light on top and lights the face lights on Ripley just like in the movie.

BTW there is a Power Loader MIB in Indiana with a $650 BIN. Thats fairly close to your location.
