Think of all the Aniken figures from SW they sell.

Makes no sense to get bent about one figure over another.
Just put them high on the shelf or something. Not like they don't sell violent video games too.
Cranston said he would burn his Florida Mom figure in protest. LOL
What next?
Predators? Evil Dead stuff? Terminator?

Hmm, interesting thoughts. There's a number of ways you can view this. In my opinion it really boils down to two sectors.
First, violence is violence, and as such has no place in an innocent child's adapting mind set. This includes Predator, Transformers, WWF figures, the lot. There's no logical reason why a child needs to be exposed to acts of violence as a mean of entertainment.
Secondly, the distinction between fantasy violence and 'reality' based social deviancy. Predator, Transformers etc are all fantasy based. Breaking Bad is a comedic view of real life activities....your child (try as they might) will never become a Predator or a Transformer.....they could quite easily sell meth!
It's easy to say Parents should Parent! And they should, but how much control can a parent have on outside influences, especially those that are sensationalised.
