Hi all Michael fans.  It seems that the newest controversy about Dexter is that Toys R Us is starting to carry Dexter action figures.  Some parents  are really upset that a serial killer is on the store’s shelves along with Elmo.  I just find it kind of funny because there are other action figures of villains and heroes at Toys R. Us, too.  Also, there are tons of toy knives and guns and it is really up to the parents as to what their kids should and should not play with. I am guessing that these toys would be picked up by Dexter fans, and not kids idolizing serial killers.  At least, I hope kids aren’t idolizing serial killers.  The dolls were marked that they are not intended for children and Toys R. Us only ordered a small stock.   According to the report these action figures are selling out fairly quickly.   Anyway, if you are interested in the action figures and don’t want to get weird looks from these parents at Toys R. Us then  they are available at Amazon.com, too. I think they would make great gifts for Michael/Dexter fans.  There are several versions and they all look pretty close to Michael/Dexter.

What do you think?  Are people making too big of a deal out of this?  Would you let your kids play with a Dexter/Michael C. Hall action figure?  Talk about it in the Dexter Morgan  forums!
