The fact that I wouldn't put it beyond Frank Miller for him to actually intend for the character to do such a despicable thing also rings out in my mind.

I think it was actually Alan Moore that wrote the Killing Joke, though I have confused the two myself from time to time. I mean, they're both good (not perfect, as some think they are) writers, who kinda went off the deep end in later years. But, getting back to the Breaking bad toys, I don't really see a problem with the figures, 'cause most kids who have never heard of the show before would probably rather have a Wolverine or Batman or Red ranger than a bald guy in a windbreaker jacket and purple button-up. Plus, anyone who's old enough to have seen the show is probably not sitting on the floor with this figure, pretending his GI Joes are shooting up, or that his Optimus Prime and Grimlock are slicing peoples throats with boxcutters. It'd just stand on his shelf or desk, look cool, and that's that. And if any adults buy this figure, open it up and find a little blue bag that's supposed to look like meth and decide "Hey, this figure has inspired me to try drugs!" then we'd have bigger problems than objectionable toys.
