Very interesting! I wonder if DC is cracking down on their figures being released with guns? Or is this a Mafex thing?

It's DC, which makes NO sense. The above is a mass market figure that is LOADED with guns. Meanwhile these expensive adult collector figures are hamstrung. Mezco said very literally that DC asked them not to show their Constantine figure with cigarettes or a gun but he is coming with them. It's DC doing dumb DC things. The Joker's gun is a FLAG gun!!! A literal GAG! It's annoying more for Joker since he comes with just a knife now and that's it.
So who's the snowflake that infiltrated DC to have those accessories removed?
This guy (The Critical Drinker) does pretty entertaining movie reviews. Here is one on the current state of the comics industry of which all these figures are based. Even makes reference to Wolverine having his cigar edited. 7 minutes...
