    Yes, EBay sucks. I had a listing pulled and had to relist it as "django action figures" to get off their radar. It worked and I sold mine for a big profit!

      I think we are missing the big picture here. Groups now know how to get stuff banned from ebay

        Now I know why the one figure alone is getting $1000 on Amazon.

          Just watched this movie (yea i'm late again), and don't understand what all the fuss is/was about ?

          It was a fun movie and the figures were clearly geared toward adult collectors

            It's just Spike Lee's personal vendetta against Tarantino that got a following from a whole bunch of nuts who hadn't even seen the movie.
            It had nothing to do with any African-American issues, just a personal grudge...that got some action figures banned...
            Wow, the world is now safe again!

            That's all Lee does these days. Complain.
            And do remakes like Oldboy, a movie that was perfectly fine.
            Thanks, Mr Lee. Have you considered retirement?

              I just don't see the basis for any legit argument - at least any that could go beyond Lee's mouth.

              If anything, the whole movie made white people look like ___holes --- which is a specialty of Lee's.

                I really wanted those figures. They were bad *** all the way across the board from likeness to costumes.

                  Exactly!
                  The movie always portrayed slavery as an evil thing, and had a heroic black man who broke his chains and got his revenge.
                  I think Lee got envious because he felt that only someone like him can tell a story like this.
                  How any child would get the impression that slavery is a good thing from playing with these figures is ludicrous.

                    NECA should just do some figures from Tombstone or some old Clint Eastwood flicks or Westworld!

                        Django's outfit (even the gunbelt) reminds me alot of Little Joe Cartwright from Bonanza. If this line hadn't become so rare/valuable in a relatively short amount of time, I would've bought a few extra Djangos to make a custom Little Joe.
