Toys Я Us is pulling its four collectible dolls based on characters from AMC’s hit series “Breaking Bad” after taking heat from a Florida mom who launched a petition campaign last week.

The dolls are based on the series about Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who turns into a crystal meth dealer, and his sidekick Jesse Pinkman. The figures have a detachable bag of cash and a bag of methamphetamines.

Toys Я Us, which is based in Wayne, New Jersey, told The Associated Press late Tuesday that the dolls are being removed immediately from its website and shelves. …

I never forgave Toys R Us for pulling the “My Dinner With Andre” action figures.

The Fort Myers, Florida, mom, identified by news media as Susan Schrivjer, launched a petition on change.org last week, demanding that Toys R Us immediately stop selling the dolls. The mom, who wrote the petition under the name Susan Myers, said that the dolls are a "dangerous deviation from their family friendly values."

If you don't like them, lady, don't buy them.

Yup, one of the more inspirational movies I've ever seen. In that it inspired to beat my television with a ball peen hammer.

Of course!

It wouldn’t be an “Action” figure if it didn’t, now would it?

[fieldmarshaldj]

I’d have thought you’d use your drill, or is that just exclusively used on the wife ?

=running away=

[Billthedrill]

Naw. The drill would have been overkill.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Oh, my...

[Bullish]

Awww shucks, I so wanted my 6 yr old to pretend to cook meth for fun.

If you pulled the string on the Mike Armentraut doll he says:

" Shut the f+@k up and let me die in peace"

[Huntress]

No detachable piece, but still a good likeness.

Yeah, some dried up old square gets offended and it’s a federal case now. When did it become hip to demand action when something offends me? Gawd, what, are we living in Nazi Germany?

Aw God.

I wonder if they had the brothers with the boots.

Is there a Donald Trump action figure complete with toupee out on the market that says “You’re fired!” when you pull the string?
