“Breaking Bad” fans looking for plastic versions of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman at Toys R Us will have to shop elsewhere.
The retail chain announced that it has pulled the action figures of characters in the hit AMC drama from shelves after a Florida mom launched a Change.org petition asking Toys R Us to do just that.

“Let’s just say, the action figures have taken an indefinite sabbatical,” the company said in a statement after Susan Myers’ online petition gained 9,300 signatures and national media attention.

Bryan Cranston, who played White on the critically acclaimed drama about a chemistry teacher becoming a drug kingpin in New Mexico, noticed the petition on Monday and offered this response:

Meanwhile, Meyers is celebrating her victory.
“Thank you all so much for supporting this and making it happen,” the concerned mother wrote. “Just remember, that if you believe in something, go for it!!! YOU can make it happen!!!!”

But if you believe you need to get yourself a fancy “Breaking Bad” action figure, they’re still available at plenty of other online retailers.
