Toys 'R' Us Stocks Serial Killer Doll
Toy Collector Complains About 'Dexter' Action Figure

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A toy collector in Ohio is upset with Toys "R" Us for selling a serial killer doll.

The action figure is based off the "Dexter" TV show, which is about a serial killer who kills other murderers. The doll even comes with a handsaw and bloody gloves.

"And I thought, 'Oh my god! You've got this in Toys 'R' Us? Are you kidding me?'" Jim Schultz said.

Schultz complained to Toys "R" Us, which told him a small number of the dolls had been ordered to accommodate the store's "avid action figure collector customers."

That didn't sit well with Schultz, who said those collectors can find the Dexter doll in a more appropriate store.

"I understand it's marketed towards adults," he said. "But I do condemn Toys 'R' Us for putting it on their shelves in the same store where you can go buy Barbie, and Kermit, and Elmo."

A Toys "R" Us spokesman said the action figure has been on the shelf for a couple weeks, and Schultz's complaint is the only one the company has received.

He also pointed out the package is clearly labeled ages 18 and up, and not intended for children.

Schultz said he hopes Toys "R" Us reconsiders stocking such action figures in the future.

This Jim Schultz guy sorta reminds me of the guy at the fair I saw that who walked up to The Scrambler ride, pulled out a tape measure and found that Capn Funtastic's finger wasn't EXACTLY 42" off the ground like the sign said then proceeded to bitch at the carnie for 15 minutes.

What a fuggin' asshole.
