Maybe Toys R Us should just put the adult collectibles on a shelf higher up, like a shelf at 4'6". I am not a pediatrician or anything, but 4'6" seems like ten year old height level. So then younger children won't see the stuff unless their parent hoists them up to it, in which case it's their problem for exposing that to their kid. You know what wouldn't be so bad, treating adult collectibles like video games and tobacco product. Placing it behind a locked window which requires an employee to open, that would certainly be tidier for me (I find it kinda annoying when I'm looking for NECA stuff and it's clear somebody misplaced it aisles over). That way Walter White and Freddy Krueger aren't mixing it up with Barbie dolls and TMNT. I dunno, I'm not a marketing guru and I'm not a parent, but the idea of a toy (that isn't explicitly meant to be a gun) corrupting or polluting a child's mind is a tad strange. I saw a fair amount of things I shouldn't have seen as a kid, but there are more toys now with gore and disturbing imagery on the shelves than when I was a kid, so it is different.

Additional topic: I have family members (not immediate but directly related) who have a history of substance abuse and other felonies, that doesn't stop me from liking Breaking Bad. To be fair, the show doesn't glorify the drug-world or it's effects on a person. It also doesn't make the drugs the central point of the show, they could be replaced with another illegal matter and the show would be relatively the same. Drugs are shitty to people, I know, but I wouldn't let that stop me from enjoying things (even if drugs are used as plot in said thing).
