Parents aren't happy that the toy store chain is selling drug dealer dolls, complete with bags of crystal meth and sacks of cash.
Susan Schrivjer, a mom from Fort Myers, Fla., was a fan of the award-winning AMC show Breaking Bad....
Even so, she thinks it’s not such a great idea to sell action figures based on the show’s notorious crystal meth dealers Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in a store where the customer base is families with young children.

These aren't marketed to little kids, they're marketed to older kids and adults.
The fact that we have an adult market for action figure toys is a whole 'nother thread.

I want them. All of them. I loved that show.

I was given a chemistry set in the early ‘70’s that probably could have gotten get me close to actual meth production if I knew what I was doing. Can’t buy those now.

Or Skyler. Pull her string and she acts stupid. In fact, you don’t have to pull her string.
And the Marie doll: comes with purple everything, but brains not included.
Or Hector Salamanca. Pull his string and he doesn’t say anything. He just rings a bell.

Wonder how many of these protesting moms have their kids strung out on Ritalin which is basically legalized meth.
Never watched the show. No need when you live in a meth making area and have seen a lot of the results.

The Crystal Meth does not interest me but real exploding Mercury Fulminate would be fun!
