Florida mum Susan Myers is outraged after discovering the toy shop Toys R Us are selling dolls from the hit series Breaking Bad alongside its children’s toys.

 

The series revolves around the criminal underworld of making and selling Crystal Meth, and the action figures come with accessories such as guns, bags of money and even toy meth.

 

Susan has started a petition to have the dolls removed from the toy shop, which has received nearly 6000 signatures.

 

“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,” Susan wrote.

 

“Parents and grandparents around the world shop at Toys R Us, online and in stores, with their children and should not be forced to explain why a certain toy comes with a bag of highly dangerous and illegal drugs or why someone who sells those drugs deserves to be made into an action figure.”

 

“While the show may be compelling viewing for adults, its violent content and celebration of the drug trade make this collection unsuitable to be sold alongside Barbie dolls and Disney characters.”

 

Toys R Us has responded the complaints by stating that “the items are intended for ages 15 and up” and “are located in the adult action figure area of our stores.”
