Django action figures have been discontinued thanks to Al Sharpton

There has been nothing but controversy surrounding "Django Unchained" since the trailer was released. If it wasn't enough for All My Babies Mamas to be cancelled, now the Django action figures won't be hitting the shelves any time soon. Hip Hop Wired reports:

Dolls made in the likeness of the characters in the slave film Django Unchained have been discontinued.

The figurines were pegged as “action figures,” and led to a public outcry calling for them to stop being sold.
From TMZ:

Sources connected to the toy production tell us ... shortly after advocacy groups like Al Sharpton's National Action Network and Project Islamic Hope spoke out against the figurines ... the Weinstein Company (which produced the film) reached out to the toy company and told them to put the kibosh on the toy line ASAP. 

We're told the toy company agreed, insisting they never intended to offend anyone ... and halted production immediately.Sources tell us ... the toymakers only released somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 dolls before shutting down production. 

Retailing for $299 on Amazon.com the dolls were meant for collectors rather than children.
