Real Musgrave the artist behind the popular Pocket Dragons collection has announced he is to retire at the end of 2006.

Bill Dodd the Chairman and CEO of Collectible World Studios wrote these words on the Pocket Dragons web site.:

"After 16 years Real has decided to retire from sculpting Pocket Dragons which means that Collectible World Studios will retire the Collection with effect from 31st December 2006.

We know that it has been a very difficult decision for him and Muff which they have explained in more detail in their letter.

Between now and the end of 2006 we have planned some very exciting happenings to say THANKYOU to Real & Muff and, most importantly, to all of you who have appreciated and collected Pocket Dragons for so long.

It has been a great journey that all of us have shared and we will miss all of you more than these words can say.

So let's make the next 16 months as good as they can be so the fun and happiness we have had will live on in our hearts."
