I'm going to disagree somewhat with this...Look at the Green Goblins available to order(or soon to be). You have 3 to choose from, SS's, XM's and IA's with different styles but all comic versions. Idk about others, but I want a GG in my collection and I'm having a hard time deciding which one looks the best out of the 3.
Now, I do think SS has the massive advantage because of XM's and other companies licensing restrictions but allowing P1 to do 1/4 DC(even New 52) will affect their sales because many collectors only want one version of a character in their collection(their definite version). I had already been hesitating to order anything SS to see what the competition had in store, now I'm going to be even more with P1 tackling characters like GL and the many different Batmans etc.
Just look at all the amazing Batman and Spider-man statues alone coming out, I'm having a really tough time deciding which companies to get because they all look incredible lol. At this point in time, I think SS really has to knock every sculpt/pose out of the park whereas before they could get away with the weird looking poses(Reeve Superman anyone?) because of the lack of competition.
