Wouldn't those buyers feel...foolish... if the company decides to start back production?

I say we all join our collective voices together and raise a huge stink declaring our OUTRAGE over CTVT's unkind, abusive, disrespectful, and overall disregard for fat, balding fellows on a religious kick. Then maybe we could all make a buck or two on all those repro Friar Tuck's.
What can I say? I'm a capitalist at heart.

How are these figures offensive to anyone???
They banned them because Django was a slave turned bounty hunter.
The Django figure portrays him as the bounty hunter, not the slave. Geez, people need to relax.
I'm so sick of the groups, and people being so damn touchy about every frickin' thing!
If the figure was dressed as a slave in chains, that could be offensive then, but he's dressed like a cowboy and looks really cool!

An empowered former slave is so much more offensive than, say, an action figure of a living corpse whose intestines come out. Not saying those should be banned either, but c'mon, how are these really offensive? Have these folks been into a TRU in the last 10 years?

Hmmmm....
Public outrage has NEVER been about anything that makes objective sense.... it's always about "I don't like that so neither should you!" And it always results in this sort of hype for said "detestable" thing.
'Course, sometimes public outrage is staged for this very reason.

Chris,
Al Sharpton can't get TV time complaining about zombies, even though much Zombie lore was brought west because of the slave trade.Comment

And why shouldn't we show a figure of a black man in chains?
It happened, right?
It's documented history. Why not show it? Show how horrible it was.
Ignorance (and not showing the past) just paves the way for more bad things to happen yet again, because new generations don't know what really happened.
This is a movie of a slave regaining his freedom, and they treat it as a bad thing....

Ebay pulled my auction down 3 times. The second time I got a message saying the title or wording was offensive- but I could re-list without the (non specified) offending word- I thought maybe the word "unchained" was it- so I re-listed and it was pulled again.
The most ridiculous aspects is Ebay's arbitrary enforcement of the "offensive" rule. I did a quick search and found plenty of "Mammy" dolls from Gone with The Wind, as well as a ton of stuff under Birth of a Nation (KKK) not to mention 800 listing for Django Unchained- so an action figure for collectors is offensive but a belt buckle, t-shirt, poster, key chain, etc- isn't ?
Arguing with Ebay is like trying to teach a pig to sing- it wastes your time and it annoys the pig!Comment
