Why would any parent let their kid who is still young enough to play with dolls watch Breaking Bad. It was a great show but not for kids... Drugs, violence, the hero is a drug dealer, it certainly blurred the lines between who is good and who is bad.
What kind of play would a kid engage in with these action figures? Do a cook then go hang out on the street corner selling meth and shoot anyone who gets in your way??

Breaking Bad dolls aimed at kids is a bad idea but there is money in merchandising and money talks.

The Walter White figure is an adult collectible. It's labeled for ages 15 and up and it's not carried in the doll section.

It's obviously designed for adult collectors, not kids. These kind of items aren't made to played with--they go straight to the "nerd" display shelf.

Not all action figures and toys are meant for kids, you know. Many adults collect vinyl toys and other figurine toys. Myself included.
