I consider interesting physical ball locks to be toys. CSI with the skull ball lock is pretty awesome. Also it's hard to beat Judge Dredd (with Deadworld mod) with locked balls orbiting a planet and unloaded by a magnet crane. Cool stuff.

The Magneto spinner/magnet combo in X-Men is a heck of a toy, if you consider it a toy.

The BDK crane is definitely one of the best.

But really...the ball gobbling T-Rex has to take the cake...

Hulk really had the potential to be one of the best toys ever had he been thought out a little better. A bash toy that can catch and fling the ball with a magnet plus can move and literally punch the ball? That's gold. What holds him back is the ridiculous pressure plate and no way to sense if the ball is behind him. Proper use of optos or eddy sensors could have elevated him into best toy ever status. Instead the ball traps, especially on a non-dialed in game, become one of the major reasons people hate on the game. Such a shame to see something come so close to greatness and instead fall on its face...

That said I love him...as I do the rest of the game, and making the plate super sensitive does help quite a bit. But I know it could have been so much better...
