12″ Breaking Bad Toy Announced Just in Time to Really Piss off Florida Mom
You probably heard about the Florida mom who started a petition to get Toys R Us to ban toys from companies like Mezco and NECA whose figures are aimed at older collectors, specifically because she saw a Breaking Bad figure and thought it might encourage her kid to become a meth addict. Rather sadly, Toys R Us caved and pulled the plastic Bryan Cranstons indefinitely.
Given how long toys take to produce it has to be a coincidence, but a nice one – 12″ Heisenberg is now available for preorder at outlets that don’t cave to silly demands.
“Putting something that has fake illegal drugs with it next to G.I. Joe or Mario Bros. just morally isn’t right,” said the mom. Because (a) figures that include fake terrorists with fake lethal weapons are a lot better and (b) nothing about Mario Bros. would ever possibly make you think of drugs. Also, (c), and this is the nerdiest point of all, they aren’t next to them. They’re on a different aisle, duh. To sign a petition to keep these kinds of figures in Toys R Us, click here.
