The Mattel toy company has scrapped plans to produce a replica of the Daviess County Sheriff's Department D.A.R.E. car for its Matchbox brand.
Trends tend to run their course over a period of time.
This was a successful product. But, like every novelty, consumers look to buy things that are new and fresh. Pisors' explanation did little to ease the disappointment experienced by members of the sheriff's department, Sheriff Keith Cain said. Their biggest concern comes in having to tell the children of Daviess County that they won't be getting the cars, he said. Though profits were going to be minimal, the local D.A.R.E. program would have received any extra money raised.
