Would You Buy a Django Unchained Toy?

Django Unchained Dolls Pulled Off eBay

It seems stupidity knows no bounds. Following the cinema release of Quentin Tarantino’s latest movie, action figures portraying the on-screen characters of Django Unchained were found on shopping displays. The film stirred up an entire pot of trouble over its depiction of racism, so the idea to put these action figures on sale is bemusing, as I recall that it’s mostly children who play with dolls, action figures and toys. Imagine your child enacting a Blaxploitation scenario in the living room with Calvin Candie giving Django a good spanking.

Most retail outlets and online company eBay have stopped the sale of the collection. However, most kids won’t be buying these goods as their parents wouldn’t have taken them to watch a rated R movie in the first place. The buzz for the toy collection seems to be among older age groups and collectors, who have gone all out to acquire the product following the restriction in supply. Some characters were sold off for $5000 through intense bidding wars. Not stupid after all.
