IRL F2F CAPD

In real life, face to face, here is the California Product Development team at Maisto. There are thousands of wonderful people at Maisto who create, sell, manufacture, manage and ship the great products that people collect and play with. But, for the most part, CAPD determines what it is and how it looks. In recognition, we’ve just received the 2009 department of the year award.

Well, kinda. These things aren’t free to make…but if you happen to make it by the Maisto booth at the Nuremburg Germany or New York toy fairs this year, you may find one in your bag!!
