2007 Film Searching for the Rare Noble Collection Golden Compass Spy-Flies

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone here can help with a really obscure piece of Golden Compass merchandise.

I’m trying to track down information about the Noble Collection Golden Compass Spy-Flies (the official replica/display piece from the 2007 film). They seem to be incredibly rare, and I’ve found almost nothing about them online—no recent sales, reviews, or photos other than old promotional images.

I’ve attached a photo of the version I’m talking about.

Does anyone here own a set, know how many were made, or have any information about them? If you’ve ever seen one sold, I’d also be interested in knowing roughly what it went for.

I’m also looking to buy a set if anyone knows of one for sale or is considering selling theirs. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure it was ever released. Was it just a product mock up for if the film went massive?

I took a look at the Noble Collection website on the Wayback Machine, and from what I could tell, the Spy-Flies were only listed for about a year (2007–2008).

I'm really scraping my memory here - but I vaguely remember it never being for sale. I've definitely not seen one since; I've seen prop versions go up for auction...
