Good Luck.
The Toys R Us has stopped selling a drug-dealer doll because of an campaign. The store was selling action figures from the American TV series 'Breaking Bad'. One of the figures came with full of drug money and blue drugs. A mother, Susan Myers, started an online to get Toys R Us to stop selling the toys. More than 3,000 people signed the petition and the store took the dolls off of its online store. Ms Myers wrote on Change.org: "Toys R Us is known around the world….However their to sell a Breaking Bad doll, complete with a detachable of cash and a bag of [drugs], alongside children's toys is a dangerous [move away] from their family-friendly ."

Ms Myers explained that although Breaking Bad was a popular with adults, dolls from the show did not belong on a toy store next to Barbie dolls and Disney . She said: "Parents and grandparents around the shop at Toys R Us, online and in stores, with their children. They should not be forced to explain why a toy comes with a bag of dangerous and illegal drugs, or why someone who sells drugs deserves to be made into an figure." A Toys R Us spokesperson said: "The product packaging notes that the items are intended for ages 15 and up. The toys [were] located in the adult action figure of our stores."
