This Breaking Bad tribute takes an interesting form: a dressed-up, themed Mr. Potato Head doll in a Heisenberg hat.
Aptly nicknamed 'Friesenberg,' this Mr. Potato Head is an officially licensed Breaking Bad collectible dressed up as the acclaimed television show's central character, Walter White, whose alias is Heisenberg. Thanks to the character's signature get-up, this Mr. Potato Head is easily recognizable as a Breaking Bad tribute in his pork pie Heisenberg hat and sunglasses.
The show has spawned a series of tributes and collectibles due to its huge fan following -- a following attracted by the fast-paced action, skillful writing and magnetic anti-hero of the overwhelmingly popular show. The recognizable costumes, settings and bright blue illicit products are easily replicated in a variety of media, as this Breaking Bad Mr. Potato Head doll clearly demonstrates.
