Don't count on finding one of those discontinued "Django Unchained" slave toys on eBay any time soon, the action figures have now been banned from the auction website.
The Weinstein Company (which produced the film) discontinued the promotional figurines in response to a massive backlash from several African-American advocacy groups.
After the toy company halted production, the toys began to pop up on eBay as "rare" collectibles ... and bids skyrocketed.
But last night, all the listings for the "Django" toys were yanked from the website -- and eBay explained itself to sellers with an email, saying, "Since the manufacturer of this product has discontinued the item’s sale due to its potentially offensive nature, we are not allowing it to be sold on eBay.”
eBay also cautioned the sellers not to re-list the items.
A rep for the auction website confirmed the story, telling us, "These [toys] were removed as they were in violation of our Offensive Materials policy."

I have such a weird love for that series ..... it had so much potential but it fell so short
I think the OST makes up for it though
yeah it was totally cheesy but I was in love with Prince Aya and Farfarello so I look back with fond memories. and yes I love the OST. I still have a few songs on my mp3 player. I need to dust it off this weekend and give it a watch now lol.
I was in love with Gojyo but Aya was werking that T-boz hair cut and that earring :D
My favorite villain was Schudlich , fierce bitch!!
