I remember it went up at Sideshow along with Chun Li during their online comic con when I first started collecting. Wasn't collecting SF at the time or I would've bought it.

The grimace face is definitely more popular than the calm.
I've also observed two common practices amongst owners of 1/4 Sagat and Chun Li.
Sagat: The eyepatch is on incorrectly nearly 100% of the time. Never Under the right ear as it was intended. Always over.
Chun Li: Hands on wrong, usually upside down. Sometimes on the wrong arm!
The SS Ex Sagat was the best one imho.

It drives me insane seeing when people don't have the stuff correct or don't even bother fidgiting with the mixed media.... Ryu does not wear a tight closed gi and akuma does not wear his Gi with flat shoulders for f**ks sake people!

3 version.
Regular:
Red/Blue shorts
1 calm portrait
Was available through major retailers such as sideshow, bbts, secret compass etc
Sideshow Exclusive:
Yellow/Blue shorts
2 portraits, 1 calm 1 grimace
Available ONLY through Sideshow collectibles
PCS Exclusive:
1 calm portrait
SFIV Alternative outfit
Available ONLY through PCS Email Lottery
PopCultureShock did not sell through their own website when Sagat was put up for order, they used Sideshow and other retailers and Sideshow would always get their own exclusive version ONLY available through them to drive sales of course.
PCS would also do the email lottery, which was usually a 3rd version in an alternate color or costume that was only available via emailing Jerry at a certain time and the first people who emailed would be who got the statue (Sagat sf4 pants, chun li black, mk reptile 1/4 etc, alex etc were all done this way).
The Alpha Sagat (grimacing face version) is the single most popular and sought after version. The 2nd portrait is IMMACULATE and the best part of the statue.
The PCS Exclusive (yoga pants) is very sought after as well mostly because of the ES. BUT..... customs have been made for the mixed media pants and one can easily convert their regular blue/;red shorts to a SFIV outfit, whereas one CANNOT convert their regular into an ALPHA because the only version that comes with the 2nd portrait is the sideshow exclusive, making it the most sought after version.
HAving had all 3 at one point at the same time, the sideshow exclusive (alpha, grimacing portrait) is the one to have. If I ever bought Sagat again that would be the version I'd pony up the extra aftermarket cash for, easily the best.

Steve loves Sagat. Just not enough to keep them haha. But seriously everything he wrote was on point. Sagat is such a badass statue. Easily in my top 3. Perfect rendition of the character.
