Here’s something you might not know: Toys R Us sells Breaking Bad figurines of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Here’s something you might have predicted: parents aren’t happy about the idea of their kids playing with figurines of bald, meth-dealing science teachers. One Florida mother is so outraged that her petition against Toys R Us stocking the toys, which feature Walter carrying a gun and a bag of meth, has made headlines this week. Though a quick search of the store’s website reveals that they used to sell these items (you can totally see “6-inch Hazmat Suit Jesse Pinkman”), they don’t seem to carry them anymore. In an amusing twist of events, Bryan Cranston entered the controversy by tweeting a response to the woman’s complaint:
"Florida mom petitions against Toys 'R Us over Breaking Bad action figures." I'm so mad, I'm burning my Florida Mom action figure in protest

What’s your take? Do Breaking Bad figurines belong in stores for children?
