Not that their figures are unsatisfactory.

I just hate the whole scale wars as it allows inferior companies to gag the superior ones. Let everybody make whatever they damn well please and let the consumers decide which company deserves the license.

The fact that NECA had to fight to release their SDCC figures is not McFarlane's fault, it is the fault of DC/WB and possibly whoever owned the rights to make toys in that scale at the time. Also, it's not McFarlane's fault if they're willing/ able to pay more for the DC license than NECA, McFarlane just has more money and pull with retailers than NECA does.
