Has anyone done a comparison of the various Choppers / custom bikes out there? Specifically RC2 Orange County Choppers, Muscle Machines West Coast Choppers, and Jada Von Dutch.

Ill put them like this
1 Jada Von Dutch, casting, paint, details, design, all first class, close to Mint quality.
2. Muscle Machines WCC, also well done, they were first at this so they were copied somewhat, great but not as good as the Jada bikes....too many repaints of each bike were done too
3. RC/E a distant turd place, too much plastic, quality details and design not as good, out of the box the Jada & MM bikes look and feel like a $15 diecast, RC/Es like a $5 toy.
Maisto and Ertl also did some Harleys, the Ertls were way better but harder to find, Im still looking for some 100th anniv models.
Also Polistl (sp) did some great Glides in the early 90s, Ertl used the same molds later for some of their bikes.
