As you might imagine, these Django Unchained action figures aren't going over very well
Promising to bring to an appropriately extreme climax the argument that Django Unchained trivializes slavery, The Weinstein Company has come under fire for selling a line of action figures based on Quentin Tarantino's Southern revenge romp—a line of little malleable people that you can buy, own, and bend repeatedly to your will, all in a sort of giant metaphor for something. The NECA-created collectibles were first announced last fall, but the growing controversy around the film seems to have inspired advocacy group Project Islamic Hope to unite with various "black community leaders" to call for them to be removed from the market, then set free to seek their own action figure fortunes.
