Florida seems hellbent on ruining everything for everyone. The same state that acquitted George Zimmerman of murder, is now trying to get blue meth out of our toy stores. An outraged mom has successfully petitioned a Toys R Us store to remove Breaking Bad action figures from their shelves. Now Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul has taking up the fight in defense of adult collector toys. Paul recently went on a rant against Toys R Us, and blasted Barbie in the process, tweeting:
“Wait, so @ToysRUs pulled all of the Breaking Bad figures from their shelves and still sells Barbie? Hmmmm...I wonder what is more damaging?”
Paul didn’t stop there, adding:
“And what about all of the violent video games you sell @ToysRUs ? Do you still sell those? Florida mom really messed it up for everyone.”
Paul even went to invoke the name of the President, writing:
“‘@BarackObama: Wait, are you serious about the whole @ToysRUs thing?!?’ Yes I am Mr. President. Yes I am.”
Paul is now pushing a petition to try and get the Breaking Bad figures put back in the store, and keep all adult collector figures safe.
At the time of this report, the Florida Mom’s petition had reached 9,299 signatures, and the Paul supported petition is now at 13,591.

Writers Note:
Having worked in a Toys R Us store for over seven years, I can tell you that this amazing store was always inclusive, and welcoming to guest and employees from all different walks of life. Adult collectors are a frequent and loyal customer base that should not be lost.
