‘Breaking Bad’ Action Figure Controversy Is Taking Over Twitter

Tags

A Florida mom's petition to remove the "Breaking Bad" action figures from Toys R Us stores has ignited quite a bit of controversy this week.

Now, the conversation regarding the "Breaking Bad" action figures has brought in the opinion of the stars of the show, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, as well as other Twitter users.

"Wait, so @ToysRUs pulled all of the Breaking Bad action figures from their shelves but still sells Barbie? Hmmmm...i wonder what is more damaging?," wrote Aaron Paul on his Twitter account.

The 35-year-old actor even decided to include a fake quote from President Obama to express his thoughts on successful petition, according to CBS News.

"'@BarackObama: Wait, are you serious about the whole @ToysRUs thing?!?' Yes I am Mr. President. Yes I am," wrote Paul.

Bryan Cranston took to Twitter as well when the petition to remove the "Breaking Bad" action figures from Toys R Us first surfaced.

"Florida mom petitions against Toys R' Us over Breaking Bad action figures. I'm so mad, I'm burning my Florida mom action figure in protest. Nicely played Florida Mom," wrote Cranston, who played Walter White on the hit show, according to the website The Sudburystar.com.

Now, a counter petition, created by California resident Daniel Pickett, has reportedly been created to keep the toys on the shelves. The petition has reportedly collected more than 23,400 signatures so far while the petition to remove the toys has only gathered around 9,300 signatures.

Tweets regarding the action figures continues.

"So Florida Mom got the Breaking Bad action figures removed from Toys R Us. Does your little girl play with Body Fascist Barbie though?," wrote Twitter user Ellie Hurst.
