OHIO -- A Toys "R" Us store in Ohio has been selling an action figure meant for adults only.
It's a Dexter action figure. Dexter is a TV show about a serial killer who kills other murderers.
The toy comes complete with a handsaw and bloody gloves.
"And I thought, 'Oh my god! You've got this in Toys 'R' Us? Have, are you kiddin' me?,'" said Jim Shultz, who is a toy collector in Ohio.
He complained to the company and was told that "'a small number of the item was ordered to accommodate (the stores') avid action figure collector customers."
Schultz says collectors could find the Dexter doll elsewhere and doesn't think it belongs in the store.
"I understand it's marketed towards adults. 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" he stated.
A company spokesman said the Dexter figure has been on the shelf for a couple of weeks and Schultz was the only one to complain.
He points out the packaging is clearly labeled ages 18 and up, not intended for children.
"There isn't a Serial Killer Ken. He doesn't come with a hacksaw and a trash bag to put Barbie's head in," the spokesman said.
A Toys "R" Us spokesman says the stores in Central Ohio were each stocked with about eight of these dolls and they won't be replaced once they're sold out.
