"&lt;img alt=\"0118_django_toys_01\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/01/18/0118-django-toys-3.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The controversial &amp;#8220;&lt;strong&gt;Django Unchained&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8221; action figures have officially been DISCONTINUED ... after several African American groups called for a boycott of the dolls ... TMZ has learned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Sources connected to the toy production tell us ... shortly after advocacy groups like Al Sharpton&amp;#8217;s &lt;strong&gt;National Action Network&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Project Islamic Hope&lt;/strong&gt; spoke out against the figurines ... the&lt;strong&gt; Weinstein Company &lt;/strong&gt;(which produced the film) reached out to the toy company and told them to put the kibosh on the toy line ASAP. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; We're told the toy company agreed, insisting they never intended to offend anyone ... and halted production immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources tell us ... the toymakers only released somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 dolls before shutting down production. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We reached out to the Weinstein Company for comment, so far no word back. But earlier this week we got&lt;strong&gt; Christoph Waltz&amp;#160;&lt;/strong&gt;out in Hollywood and it sounds like the 'Django' cast has already learned the fate of the action figures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n\n{{tmz_video_0}}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
