That might be possible, if they planned it out already. The process from proposal to pegs takes 8-12 months. If they completed their art before they got the license, that would knock about 4 months off, leaving them at 8, but the next step would be tooling and they would not want to start that until they had the license. If from that point they planned their use of parts to minimize tooling costs by reusing as many parts as possible, for example: black Superman is physically identical to red and blue Superman, just a different paint app and no cape, then they can crank out many different characters much faster than if they do individual sculpts for every part of each figure. Now granted there are some figures that must be done that will defy this process, like Joker, but a sufficient reuse could cut costs enough to make all of the figures you are referring to possible, just not as likely due to the number of unique sculpts like Darkseid.
