figures pulled from Toys R Us,
saying they are "unsuitable to be sold alongside Barbie dolls".]

I don't personally understand why Toys R' Us would stock Breaking Bad items, not many kids would be interested in it and it's target audience would be more likely to pick it up from Collector shops and such.

Starting a petition is pretty pointless though. The item will likely be discontinued in their stores if it doesn't sell a certain amount anyway.

In America that Hard Man Doll is for Lads

The Barbie is for the girls



I am glad she did this Petition
as it made me Buy this Doll
for my Desk,
it made me want one - because of her

I wouldn't say it's any more harmful to the development of young minds than Action Man's army of weapons, or Barbie's ridiculous ideas of beauty.

Those Parents do not care , though


That Doll was just Live on FoxNewsHD

I'm surprised that it would be sold at Toys R Us. Seems like a really young age group to target the product at. I would be surprised if any kids under 11 have ever watched or seen Breaking Bad, even boys. The actual figurine though is no worse than Action Man holding a gun.

Petition is pointless. Petitions seem to be the answer for anything these days, they never lead to anything unless there's an overwhelming amount of signatures, which in this case it is very unlikely to get many.

I had a Robocop toy (with riot van) as a kid, lol. I don't see the issue.

I loved action figures like that when I was wee and I would sit and fight them for ages before either cutting them up with a knife, burying them or setting them on fire.

Never did me any harm.

aaron paul has slammed toys r us over their decision to pull “breaking bad” figures off their shelves claiming barbies do more harm reports rob shuter of naughtybutnicerob.com.

In one of his tweets the 35-year-old actor criticizes a florida mom. The florida mom paul was referring to is susan schrivjer who successfully petitioned the toy retail giant to dump the “breaking bad” dolls.

Schrivjer argued that the figures glorified the drug trade and didn’t fit with the company’s corporate philosophy. However some fans of the amc show are campaigning for the dolls to be restocked.

The new campaign argues that the “breaking bad” dolls were clearly meant for adult collectors not children. More than 30,000 people have signed a petition which paul tweeted a link to and included his character's trademark line. Earlier this week toys r us said the dolls were taking “an indefinite sabbatical.”
