English term or phrase: dream up gold-plated Commandos
Um sujeito está liderando uma caçada contra uns monstros, com um bando de caras esquisitos. Na frase abaixo, "them" refere-se a James Whale e Tod Browning.

I'd be surprised if either one of them could dream up gold-plated Commandos.

Como seria a tradução de "could dream up gold-plated Commandos" para o português?
