"One afternoon late in 1988 Adam phoned me and suggested that we do an action figure concept in which Earth’s military would battle Aliens. At first I didn’t get it. “You mean like “The War of the Worlds”? “Exactly!” I thought about it for a minute. Yes! Although, it had been done before, beginning with the original book in 1898 by H. G. Wells, followed by the fabled Radio Broadcast by Orson Welles in 1938, and last of all, the somewhat mediocre movie by George Pal in 1953. It had never been a toy. Wow! What a Great Idea!" ~ Mel Birnkrant
