Mother Demands Toys R Us Stop Selling Controversial Toy

A Florida mom is hoping Toys R Us will listen to her and the 2,000 other people who signed her online petition demanding the toy store stop selling a controversial doll. According to CNN, Susan Schrivjer from Fort Myers is petitioning for the removal of "Breaking Bad" action figures.

The Change.org petition explains her position:

Toys R Us is well known around the world for their vast selection of toys for children of all ages... However their decision to sell a Breaking Bad doll, complete with a detachable sack of cash and a bag of meth, alongside children's toys is a dangerous deviation from their family friendly values.

Toys R Us publicly responded by clarifying that this is not a toy, but a collectible action figure located in the adult section of the store. The package clearly states that it is intentended for ages 15 and up.

Walter White himself, Bryan Cranston, chimed in on the controversy via Twitter:

UPDATE: As of Tuesday, BBC News is reporting that Toys R Us has now pulled the Breaking Bad toys from the shelves. A spokesperson for the toy store was quoted as saying: "Let's just say, the action figures have taken an indefinite sabbatical."

While we couldn't find the Breaking Bad action figures at the Poughkeepsie Toys R Us, we did find a collection of other adult action figures that may be even more controversial than a miniature Walter White.  You decide:
