Ive seen Ultraman and Masked Rider cans too. Pretty neat stuff.
So the Bandai VF-17S Nightmare only has metal hinges for certain limbs or parts like all the licensed/unlicensed M7 Valks. Not sure if it counts as diecast.
Have your memories been erased?
Medicom has, for years now, put out a 1/18 scale Blade Runner Spinner toy! It's been all the rage on Blade Runner fan sites for the last couple years!...And you guys didn't notice? Really?
And just so you know you can still get it here (copy and paste this link, I'm too old learn that HTML crap) :

And this is what a talented Blade Runner fan can do with this toy (again, copy and paste this link):

I guess your memory is failing in your old age.
it's not 1:18, it's smaller. Kubrick scale not Star Wars. It's also double the price of the model kit, and its own inaccuracies that modelers have gone on about since its release. Not that that one is not also most triumphantly awesome...
As is the Back To The Future Part II one, which you still need to paint the correct color, add cherries, and label. And not for "years" it came out but "one limited release many years ago" and has been consistently over $200+, for several years it was selling on Y!J for around $400...
I like the part in Blade Runner where Gillian is speeding away from the giant Boomer while the E=X Garland rides alongside his Spinner and it's General Katana inside who has to save Gillian from the approaching Landmates.
At least I think that's how it went.
