No reason they couldn't have cut guns from other planned figures. If McFarlane did announcements like Hasbro/Mezco/Bandai, where they show off figures about year before release, it's likely we would have seen those guns. See McFarlane's Cyborg Superman, where we saw the prototype over a year ago and it barely got officially announced.>Look up "running changes," which are pretty common, where shit that gets announced needs to be cut right at the last minute, because that's the licensor's right.There would have been figures "grandfathered" in for an entire year if it worked by your rationalization, but McFarlane doesn't show figures until they're already being shipped.
Just because shit was planned doesn't mean it can't be cut. See pic on how Grifter was originally planned to come with guns.
There's a difference when something is already in production though and already in the packaging phase, like Flashpoint Batman. Too late to make the cuts without delaying its wave, which would fuck over McFarlane and retailers.
And again, the fact that at least 3 figures from 3 different companies came with guns from 2022 and on proves they were allowing guns.
