…is what collectors have said in light of Weta Collectibles’ announcement that their Prince Caspian endeavors will be severely downsized from downsized demand. Whilst the line will not be entirely cancelled, there will be a reduction of up to 80% in edition sizes by limiting all statues to 100.

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.

It’s sort of bad news wrapped in a candy shell– as the lower edition sizes may increase interest even as the line’s been dealt a death knell. It certainly is a deserved reward to those already committed.

Stubbed entirely, is the line of helmets. Hopefully Weta doesn’t take this as a sign to again retire the miniature helm range in any future product lines.
