Welcome to a new series I'm starting here on Action Figure Imagery . This series is called " Toy Stories " , with a little nod of respect given to the Toy Story movie franchise since toys are involved . This series will cover toys from a NEWS perspective . Every now and then toys may make news headlines for obvious reasons . Not very often however, two stories have made headlines this week involving toys. One made national headlines , and the other was just mainly news to us MOTU Classics collectors .
( NOTE ) I will NOT repeat every word these articles have. I will just post links to the articles and give my views and opinions on each subject matter .
First up is the story of a Florida mom starting a petition to have the Breaking Bad action figures removed from the shelves of Toys R Us . Why ? Because she claims that today's kids try to imitate the action figures they have and according to her these Breaking Bad figures definitely have some "bad" things about them, such as meth bottles and prison jumpsuits.
My opinion on this story is that there is way more important stuff in the world to worry over . For any parent that does not feel like these toys are right for their kids, simply just do not buy these toys for your kids . Simple as that . Don't spoil the fun of us adult collectors that intend on buying these toys ourselves. I like the Breaking Bad figures myself . And just because some of the accessories contain negative content such as drug paraphernalia does not mean that the buyer is into that stuff . I sure as heck is not. I just happen to like the figures as I already mentioned .
