It hasn't stopped retailers like Target or Wal-Mart from selling the Deadpool figure before, but back then he was only tied to a comic book. Now that his role in this film is going to be true-to-character, they'll understand how sick and twisted he is - will they still promote a toy line?

Target sells Sons of Anarchy Pop! Vinyls and has a whole display of Marvel Pop!s where Deadpool is advertised prominently. Breaking Bad figures (along with other series/films of that level of maturity) are sold regularly at Toys R Us. Hell, the 6" DC Comics Multiverse Joker figure has a skinned-off face mask as an accessory. To say nothing of the M-rated video game merch sold in the toy sections of numerous stores.

Pret-ty sure that Deadpool isn't going to be a stumbling block to selling the figure, especially since he's nestled in a standard Marvel Legends wave. As for the possibility of a Deadpool line or lack thereof, well, that's already been pointed out - movie-based figures for properties currently held by Fox won't get produced, since Disney/Marvel Studios would have to give them a major chunk of the profits.
