We should all demand Ghus until it happens.

I'm quite optimistic that a second wave will happen. I think it's a popular enough series, and at least in my area, they seem to be selling well. Marko and The Will are fairly hard to find. There's plenty of memorable characters to fill out a second wave- Gwen, Ghus, Hazel, etc. Fingers crossed, but I think if some other lines that have gotten multiple series can flourish, so can these! I fell in love with Saga quite recently.

Just completed the whole set and I really look forward to a second wave.
Ghus is a character begging to become a POP, also Hazel would be nice along with Squire and even The Stalk.
With regards to Lying Cat, I think we are pretty much covered right now (5 versions in this wave , with the most beautiful being the GITD imo)

That is my favorite Lying Cat of them all! I got it signed by creator Brian K Vaughn of free comic book day at Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles. :headbang:

The Stalk would be epic!

I would like to see a two pack set of The Brand and Sweet Boy and a two pack set of the The Will and Lying Cat in different poses.

But like many have said, The Stalk and Ghus are two must haves for wave 2.

My wave 1 set arrived from preorder. Now if my preordered Alana Speciality Series figure will come in, the set will be complete!

Postby **JohnnyPOP** » Wed May 23, 2018 7:29 pm

I really need to start picking these up. I've only managed the chase The Will.

Thanks Case! I love Fiona Staples' art and BKV's writing is second to none.

Thanks!!

I've also got a couple of pieces of original art from Fiona. One is of Lying Cat on the back of a Saga issue 1. The other is Marko "zombified" on a blank Walking Dead comic.

With Saga's art being all digital, her OA is hard to come by. I wish she did more conventions, so there would be more sketch ops.

I watched some video on youtube of her coloring a panel of Saga and it's amazing to see the process.

As far as I know, Paul Pope's variant cover of Issue #7 is the only published OA from Saga. I had an opportunity to buy it at one time, but the seller's asking price was approaching $10K. I can't remember the exact amount, but it was over what I was willing to pay at the time.

I really like these Saga Pops, they've all been on point

Craziness! There are so many comic artists I would love to get OA from, but it's just way too expensive. Plus I'm not willing to wait at the cons for them to do something on a blank variant either.

I am going to have to keep an eye out for her at my local cons, fingers crossed, really would like to get her work.

I love the Fiona Staples sketches! :headbang:

Hopefully I can meet her and get some of my Saga stuff signed. Getting an original sketch would just be freakin awesome but probably very hard to obtain.

So now that they’ve revealed what looks like a flocked version of Ghüs in his Jammie’s as an SDCC Exclusive, is it safe to assume that we’re getting a series 2?

If we’re going chronologically, hopefully we get Ghüs, Klara, Barr, Heist, Gale and a 6” Stalk.

I have to admit, Saga is on my reading list, but the Ghus pop is so adorable, I need to get it, so I don't need to look for it later once I start reading Saga.

For whoever designed the Ghus pop, THANK YOU!!! He looks so adorable with his pajamas and the flocked is a nice touch! =D>

I think a flocked Ghüs in Pajamas implies at least a non-flocked Ghüs in Pajamas and a regular Ghüs. I expect Ghüs to be milked like Lying Cat with flocked and non-flocked versions in his yellow coveralls and his blue sweater with yellow fishing hat.
