New week, new presentation of a model already added some months ago in my collection: it's the 1977 yellow taxi used in the TV show "Friends" by the character Phoebe Buffay. This car does not play a very important role in the series (it was used only 2/3 times maximum) but since I'm a big fan of this '90s sitcom, I wanted to have a piece in the collection to remembered it. Last year, I bought this Taxi produced by Greenlight: I must admit that it is not perfectly reproduced. Apart from a few inconsistencies in the identification numbers (the Taxi on the show was almost always marked by the sign 7E85, while here shows the 2x85 code that appears instead only once in the series), the model also presents a detail level not very high: the coupling of the doors is not accurate and the front indicators and taillights were simply painted directly on the body (it would have been preferable to make them with translucent plastic). The engine is very simple, made with some plastic part colored in black and silver. Inside the car, in the back, there are two folding seats, which are helping to improve the detail of this typical New York Taxi. I recommend buying it? Mhmmm ... only if you are a real fan of "Friends", or folded more! But now, enjoy the pictures!
