It’s almost like everyone still loves this character! People love Gina Carano & Cara Dune! Down with Star Wars.
Hasbro, the manufacturer of the main line of Star Wars toys, has reportedly cancelled orders on an upcoming action figure featuring Cara Dune, the character played by Gina Carano on The Mandalorian. The news comes via Big Bad Toy Store, who emailed customers who had preordered the figure to inform them of the decision and to cancel retail orders of the toy. The move comes on the heels of Disney severing ties with Carano earlier this week following the latest in a series of inflammatory social media posts, many of which have led to calls for Carano to be fired from the hit Disney+ series.
Following the firing, Carano’s management dropped her. Today, it was announced that she would be making a movie with conservative activist Ben Shapiro through his commentary website Daily Wire.
You can read the text of the email from Big Bad Toy Store, and see a screenshot, below.
“We have been informed by Hasbro that they have cancelled production of the Star Wars: The Black Series 6″ Cara Dune (The Mandalorian) and will not be fulfilling our order. Unfortunately, this means we must cancel our pre-orders for this item. We apologize for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate your understanding.”
