'Breaking Bad' star upset at store

"Breaking Bad" may be history, but the show is still in the spotlight. After a final stretch of Emmy wins in August, the series, which starred Bryan Cranston, right, and Aaron Paul, is now under contention because of action figures based on the drama. Here are some indelible scenes from the past five seasons that put "Breaking Bad" on the map: (SPOILER ALERT: Read no further if you don't want plot points revealed).

This scene from Season 1 offers one of the first glimpses into how smart and ruthless Walter White (Cranston) can be when cornered. Here, Walt leaves with a bag of cash after igniting an explosion at the lair of Tuco, a midlevel meth dealer.

Jesse Pinkman (Paul), Walt's apprentice, does heroin with his neighbor girlfriend Jane in Season 2. Soon after, Walt discovers Jane choking on vomit in her sleep and does nothing to save her, a decision that made his character unredeemable in the eyes of some viewers.

Walt's brother-in-law Hank (Dean Norris), a DEA agent, tracks down the RV that Walt and Jesse have been using as a meth lab, trapping Walt and Jesse, who are hiding inside. But Walt orchestrates a fake emergency phone call to lure Hank away and escape without being identified.

Drug lord Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito, left), livid over an act of betrayal by Walt and Jesse, sends a brutal message in this soon-to-be bloody scene from Season 4.

In this dramatic Season 4 showdown, Gus takes Jesse and loyal henchman Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) to Mexico to meet with the vicious leader of a drug cartel. One poisoned bottle of rare tequila later, the three are fleeing for their lives.

Jesse, Walt and new accomplice Todd (Jesse Plemons) encounter an unfortunate surprise witness when they stage a daring train robbery in the New Mexico desert.

As a seasoned fixer, the unflappable Mike is usually the one pointing a gun at someone. But Walt, growing increasingly volatile, turns the tables on him in this momentous scene from Season 5.

Walt and wife Skyler (Anna Gunn), a reluctant accomplice in his tenuous drug empire, visit a storage unit where she reveals to him a massive stack of unlaundered cash. "I want my life back," she pleads. "How big does this pile have to be?"

In the last episode before "Breaking Bad's" final run, Hank discovers some incriminating bathroom reading in Walt's house. What will he do with this startling information? The answer may drive the narrative for the show's final eight episodes.

• Aaron Paul is upset about Toys R Us pulling "Breaking Bad" action figures


• Toys R Us said figures "have taken an 'indefinite sabbatical' "


• Florida mother started petition to get figures pulled

(CNN) -- Aaron Paul is still upset that Toys R Us pulled "Breaking Bad" action figures from its stores and noted that a petition to keep the figures has gained signers.

"Dear @ToysRUs, We have close to 30,000 signed on the petition, that is 3 times the amount that caused you to remove the toys. Talk to me. Ap," he tweeted.

Paul played Jesse Pinkman, the assistant to Bryan Cranston's meth-dealing Walter White, on the hit AMC show.

The toy store chain decided to pull the action figures thanks in part to an online petition that urged the store to stop selling them at their stores and online. The petition, issued by Susan Schrivjer of Fort Myers, Florida, received more than 9,000 signatures.

The evolution of Walter White

Using the name Susan Myers on Change.org, Schrivjer noted the store's "selection of toys for children of all ages." However, she added, "their decision to sell a Breaking Bad doll, complete with a detachable sack of cash and a bag of meth, alongside children's toys is a dangerous deviation from their family friendly values."

On Wednesday, Toys R Us gave in. "Let's just say, the action figures have taken an 'indefinite sabbatical,' " the company said in a statement.

But that wasn't what Daniel Pickett of Manhattan Beach, California, wanted to hear. He's the one who started the Change.org petition in favor of keeping the toys.

"Toys R Us' decision to sell a line of Breaking Bad ACTION FIGURES, complete with a detachable sack of cash and a bag of meth, in an aisle designated for adult collectors, featuring properties of a more mature nature that might appeal to older collectors, and away from the other 'kid' toys, shows that TRU understands there is more than one group of collectors that regularly come through their doors each day," he wrote.

Paul started poking at Toys R Us in tweets starting Thursday afternoon.

Wait, so @ToysRUs pulled all of the Breaking Bad figures from their shelves and still sells Barbie? Hmmmm...I wonder what is more damaging?

"Wait, so @ToysRUs pulled all of the Breaking Bad figures from their shelves and still sells Barbie? Hmmmm...I wonder what is more damaging?" wrote Paul.

He then posted another, more pointed, tweet.

"And what about all of the violent video games you sell @ToysRUs? Do you still sell those? Florida mom really messed it up for everyone," he wrote.

Cranston took a more light-hearted approach.

" 'Florida mom petitions against Toys 'R Us over Breaking Bad action figures.' I'm so mad, I'm burning my Florida Mom action figure in protest," he initially tweeted.

Cranston cracked wise again Wednesday after Toys R Us put out its statement.

"Toys R Us puts Breaking Bad toys on 'indefinite sabbatical.' Word on the street is that they were sent to Belize. Nicely played Florida Mom," he tweeted.

Ironically, Schrivjer told CNN affiliate WFTX of Fort Myers that she likes "Breaking Bad," the show. But seeing the action figures at Toys R Us was just too much.

"Kids mimic their action figures, if you will," she told the station. "Do you want your child in an orange jumpsuit?"
