The 4th Doctor Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Toys R Us has announced it's pulling all Breaking Bad toys from its stores after more than 8,500 people signed an online petition calling for their removal. As we previously reported, Florida mother Susan Schrivjer feels that the Walter White figure in particular isn't appropriate considering it comes with a little tray of (plastic) crystal meth. Better Call Saul - Bryan Cranston: 'Walter White Got What He Deserved' 00:38 The superstore chain opted to release a tongue-in-cheek statement about the situation, which reads: "Let's just say, the action figures have taken an 'indefinite sabbatical'." For her part, Schrivjer added the following update to the original petition: "It's One Small step!!!! Let's keep this up so Toys R Us stores all over will make this right decision!!!!" Theirs weren't the only statements made about the matter, however. Bryan Cranston, Walter White himself, took to his Twitter account following the news to exclaim "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." There is a counter petition to try and get them back. I hate idiot parents who do this. Just because you fail at being a parent don't take it out on the rest of us. https://www.change.org/p/toys-r-us-keep-breaking-bad-and-other-adult-collector-figures-on-tru-shelves Source IGN.com Edited October 22, 2014 by The 4th Doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Sensitive parents still exist? There is more shades of gray and blurred lines on television today than ever before on sitcom and syndicated broadcasting. She must be those wholesome Catholic ones. Someone do get her to this century please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotchMrToast Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Who cares? Children shouldn't watch Breaking Bad anyways and I'm sure that there are other ways of getting an Walter White action figure, in case you're a collector or something.

The 4th Doctor Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Plenty of people care she has no case as the Breaking Bad figures were in the correct spot of the store in the Adult Collector section with all the horror toys and stuff for adult collectors like that for 15 years and over. She is just upset cause some of the figures come with plastic toy crystal meth. Toys R us caters to all people not just kids.

BrotchMrToast Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 My bad, the Toys R Us stores over here in the part of Germany where I live in are solely for kids. Or atleast they have been the last time I was there, which was like ten years ago. In that case, of course, what she did was absolutely pointless.
