I don't really think that the two projects need to be in competition with one another. How many Christian Bale or Ledger Joker sculpts have we seen? Yes, those have a wider appeal than Newt, but still.
Sure, there might be a few people who want just the head and are willing to track down an appropriate body and outfit, but given the fact that she is a little girl and not a standard adult figure, that's quite a bit harder than it might be for most figures. For that reason, my guess is that most people who would be commissioning a Newt sculpt would not be doing it instead of getting the Sovereign kit, but rather as a supplement to it. Maybe they want a different expression or a different look. I'd be interested in both to see which I like best. (I'm still waiting to hear back from Shawn about the timeline for his figures, though, and I still haven't seen a single in-hand shot from anyone. Maybe interest and payments would pick up if he were a little more proactive about moving the project along. He appears to be 90% to the finish line, but I haven't heard much recently.)
Of course, Pjam did mention that the two kinds of heads might not be compatible, and that is something to keep in mind, particularly if you want to be able to switch back and forth.
