This officially licensed product comes with a sign that says “Don’t even think of parking here.” The art work on the New York City Taxi is new, and began appearing on real cabs in October 2007. “Daron is the only toy company that has a license to produce official New York City-licensed toy-set items,” Eugene McKeown, director of sales and marketing for Daron Worldwide Trading, told TDmonthly. “They are not sold in the mass market, and are of high quality, and retailers can order any quantity of each. Our low minimums are designed for the specialty market.” Launch date: October 2007.
