SNEAK PEEKS

In the "information age," there is no shortage of resources dealing with various collectibles - where individuals with supposedly the latest "inside" information are willing to share it with anybody who cares to read it, but why risk arming yourself with anything but the facts? Here is where you will find the earliest and most DEFINITIVE information on the various RC2 collectibles you are so passionate about.

American Chopper/Orange County Choppers
Nothing represents the ultimate form of self-expression quite like a motorcycle, and American Chopper and Orange County Choppers (OCC) have rocked the worlds of motorcycles and television! Since officially beginning as a business in 1999, the unique OCC custom motorcycle creations have been featured predominately in all major industry publications, and the weekly American Chopper/OCC show on the Discovery Channel is the second-highest rated show on cable. Enjoyed not just by "motorheads", the TV show has also been a hit with those who have never owned a motorcycle, but tune in to watch the creative process and enjoy the banter in the shop.

The American Chopper/OCC 1:10 and 1:18 scale replicas, from JoyRide Entertainment, depict highly unique and recognizable custom choppers built by OCC, and many of you have watched the actual building process of the full-scale choppers - some of which sell for several thousands of dollars. Each replica features a generous number of chrome-plated parts, a steerable front fork, and motion wheels - the 1:10 scale replicas made up of more than 75 parts, and including a working suspension!
Dragula 1:18 Scale Die-cast, #33266
Grandpa Munster, patriarch of TV's Munster clan, was not your ordinary grandfather, and neither was his ride. The George Barris-built "Dragula" featured a casket "resting in peace" on a tube chassis, and the macabre motif was extended to the casket radiator and marble gravestone grille. The dragster drew its dying breath through bat-shaped forced-air scoops, and wailed through tuned metal organ tube exhausts. Yes, you could definitely say that this one-of-a-kind coffin was "to die for"!

JoyRide Entertainment has crafted this "dead-on" replica of the popular TV vehicle, and has spared no detail in paying their respects. The hinged coffin lid opens to a dragster cockpit featuring a purple racing seat and operational steering wheel. The custom exhausts, engine, fuel tank and front axle are fully chromed, and the motion wheels roll on rubber tires.

Flintmobile (Tooling Model)
Coming soon from JoyRide Entertainment (not courtesy of Fred's two feet) will be this first-ever 1:18 scale rolling replica of the Flintmobile from the animated Flintstone's cartoon. Straight out of Bedrock, you can ride "with the family down the street" in style, as the die-cast chassis will roll on cold-cast "wheels," and also feature a cloth top. Plastic figures of the Flinstone's and the Rubble's will be included, so you can have a yabb-dabba-doo time with this pre-hysterical replica!
Available August 2004
