League of Legends Wave 2?
Is anyone else hoping for a second wave of these? There are loads of champions to chose from but I'd love a Leona and Twisted Fate.

Re: League of Legends Wave 2?
Caitlyn is my favorite (and most played)... doesn't seem possible though because of here large top hat .
Jhin would be another also.

Re: League of Legends Wave 2?
I would love more LoL Pops for sure! And I think they've been kinda trickling out with Miss Fortune for Black Friday and DJ Sona for World Championships. But a full on second wave would be awesome.
One champ that I would LOVE for them to make (speaking of waves) but probably isn't high up on their list is Nami. I loved playing her and I think she would look really cool in Pop form. If you've seen what they've done with the Pop Asia Merlions, they could totally go that route for the treatment on her tail/fins. She might look cool with a metallic finish too.

I think it would be possible, but they would probably have to make her overall form a little smaller than some of the other Pops in the line. Sort of like what they did with Cat in the Hat. Which is fine because since she's a human girl, she probably actually IS smaller than a lot of the other, beefier champs.

Ahh. Guess that could work... but she is rather tall/slender though. I was thinking they could do a normal sized pop and just place it in a 6" box
Another wave of Mystery Minis would be cool too.

Well, speaking of mystery minis, maybe they could do the same thing that they did there. Just have her in her kneeling position, and that would decrease some of the height needed for her hat!

Nice! Didn't think of an action pose...
I'm trying to get out of Pops (to focus more on Minis), but I'd cave for that.

Honestly if they didn't sell well, they won't make wave 2.

Re: League of Legends Wave 2?
Man, I don't know if you guys have been keeping an eye on the DJ Sona prices... but the last three have sold for $500, $475, and $600 on eBay. I keep thinking that sellers are asking too much and she can't go any higher. Then she does. Pretty crazy for something that's still relatively new and not stickered. Guess it's a seller's market for her. Hopefully everyone that wanted her got one before the price spiked too much.

Re: League of Legends Wave 2?
I would love for a series 2. But I don't think it's gonna happen. They don't seem to be selling well #sadface.
If you are waiting for your favorite character to be made before you buy one, sadly you have contributed to making sure series 2 does NOT happen. Generally a series 2 (3 and so on) will be made because the line itself sells well. So yes, go out and buy all of them. I did my part. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a series 2. But it's not gonna happen at the rate people are buying (or not buying) the LoL POP line .

This is a good point. I did my part too and bought every LoL Pop I could get my hands on (including two of the boxes because I wanted both Poro sets). I honestly don't understand why it's not selling better – the detail on those Pops are amazing and LoL has a huge and loyal fan base. Maybe the problem is that most of those fans stay inside and play LoL instead of going to the store to buy merch?

I have several theories:
1) Riot games missed the boat regarding the peak of their popularity which I think was about 3 years ago. There were quite a few of us back then who were begging for them to work with Funko to get the POPs made. But instead they chose to make their own vinyl figure (which although cute, is not the same)>
2) A lot of LoL players have their "main" or a set of characters they play and love only. So yeah you probably have quite a few folks who even though they collect Funko products AND play LoL (or played) no interest in any of the characters unless it was his/her favorite champion. Basically on the fence saying "I'll wait until X champion is made"...
3) I think Funko/Riot should have chosen a few more popular characters to start series 1 with. i.e. Take away Brauhm, Thresh and Vi and instead used Teemo (for sure) 2 champs out of these folks: Katarina, Tryndamere, Yi, Annie, Ryze. Outside of Ashe and Amumu, series 1 consisted of a lot of newer champions that probably didn't quite capture the love of former players (myself included). Jinx and Lee Sin made sense as they have pretty big fan bases. But again Thresh, Vi and Brauhm not so sure.
But you're definitely right, the LoL POP line definitely has some of the best sculpts and for sure the BEST boxes with the gold foil of all the POPs, they definitely deserve a lot more love from fans. Just makes me think that if anything it goes back to #1, Riot missed the boat working with Funko earlier during the peak of their popularity.

Re: League of Legends Wave 2?
Was thinking about this the other day. Would love to see a wave 2. Seeing as there are plenty of champs and skins/chromas. Potential for flocked chases and whatnot.
Unfortunately, since we haven’t seen any new ones in quite some time and Riot Merch has continued to make their own vinyls, I don’t see it happening
I’ve been waiting for DJ Sona to drop in price or hopes something else would be available at Worlds this year.
