We've had an incredible journey creating collectibles for Prince Caspian. The buzz around the lead-up to the film filled us with confidence and with pride in the work that Weta's artists put into the movie. The designs, the props, the swords and the armour. The Crafting Of Narnia. The workshop has been a-buzz.

Our artists conceived a stunning range of statues: Prince Caspian on Steed, Reepicheep, The Warrior Satyr and the Minotaur Bust.

While the work progressed on the range, the world didn't stand still – the cost of living soared, petrol prices went bonkers and slowly people's priorities shifted.

The initial strong interest in the Prince Caspian statues therefore didn't translate into the number of pre-orders we were expecting based on ranges in the past. In fact, the Halo range that was only launched a few weeks ago has already by far exceeded the Caspian range, just to put it in perspective.

And on top of that, our production failed to meet the target date of the movie release.

The good news for Narnia collectors is that we are still making the statues, and they are going to be ultra-rare, as we are limiting the editions to 100 (yes, one hundred) of each.

The pricing will stay the same – which means that these statues will be real bargains.

On the downside, we have had to halt preparations on the helmet range. The helmets attracted a lot of attention, but again, that didn't translate into pre-orders. We know that this is very disappointing to those who have pre-ordered helmets and we apologise for getting your hopes up, but we hope that the increased rarity of the statues will help make up for it in some little way. We will send out individual confirmation to those of you who have pre-ordered helmets.
