Django unboxed

Doll tie-ins from Tarantino movie Django Unchained pulled from sale

If there was ever a set of toys worthy of the tag "not suitable for children" then it would have to be the official merchandise produced in conjunction with Quentin Tarantino's much-lauded spaghetti Western-meets-blaxploitation epic Django Unchained.

The dolls depict the film's main characters: revenge-seeking freed slave Django (Jamie Foxx), bounty hunter Dr King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) and brutal slave owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), none of whom would be particularly comforting to snuggle up in bed with.
