By This very cool Jessie Pinkman vinyl figure was part of the Breaking Bad Heisenberg collection made by Titan Merchandise.
The Breaking Bad Heisenberg Collection
Each blind box comes with one vinyl figure. There are 16 different figures to collect in this series. Some characters come with accessories however not every figure comes with an accessory. ***Please be aware that these figures are not for children. There are many drug references and some figures, such as the Gus figure, are very graphic.***
These figures were available at various stores including Hot Topic, Forbidden Planet, and Amazon. Prices varied from $3.99 – $12.50(USD). I purchased mine on sale from Forbidden Planet for £3.99(GBP) for each blind box. Sadly, it is now very difficult to find these figures from retailers. Individual blind boxes are available on eBay for varying prices. The availability of characters also varies. For example, figures of Saul and Jessie Pinkman are readily available for reasonable prices while on the other hand, there are very few to no chase figures for sale even second hand at the time of this post.
Titans figures are usually very well done. The faces in particular are always very realistic and accurate to the faces of the actors. There is a lot of variety in the Breaking Bad Heisenberg series including items such as the RV and Batter Tub. It is a shame that some of the very in demand figures, such as the Hazmat suit figures and Batter Tub, are so rare (1 in 40). It will be very costly to try and collect the entire series, particularly if you purchase the blind boxes individually. For a series like this, it is better to collect your favourites so that it does not cost you an arm and a leg. Even if you purchase a full case, you will not have a complete set.

I am not sure why there is no Skyler figure given the importance of her character in the series. Maybe it is because her character was so wide unliked?
The Jessie Pinkman Figure
The Jessie Pinkman figure is 3 inches in height and is very lightweight. The bodies of all the figures are the same except for the Marie figure which does not have separate legs as she is wearing a dress. The head is posable can turn 360 degrees. The arms are posable as well and can turn 360 degrees but due to the size of the head, it will not be able to spin all the way around without a little bit of manoeuvring.
The sculpt of the head is very well done and looks very much like Aaron Paul, the actor who plays Jesse Pinkman. The head is 1½ inches in height. Jesse’s hair is spiky as his hair is often messy and dishevelled in the series. Some figures may have a little paint bleeding on to the skin or a little paint missing on the hair but the paint faults on my figure are very minor. Jesse’s eyes are a very light blue. There is glossier paint on the bottom of his face where has stubble and the paint is the same colour as his skin. There is a very distinct well drawn line that follows the shape of the stubble separating the matte paint on his face from the glossy paint.
Jessie’s Outfit
Jessie is wearing a yellow hoodie with a black dragon t-shirt underneath and jeans with black and white shoes.
This is the outfit Jesse is wearing when he meets with a lawyer and his parents and finds out his is being evicted from his house. There is a red dragon with a yellow outline painted on to the black t-shirt. The dragon is not movie accurate as it is all red and there are no scales however the shape and position of the dragon is accurate. There are also drawstrings and a hood are painted on to the hoodie.
Accessories
This Jessie Pinkman vinyl figure comes with one accessory: a clear plastic bag filled with “Blue Sky”, a chemically pure crystal methamphetamine. The accessory is very small and is only about 1cm long. The bag slots right into the hands of the figure. The detail on the accessory is very good – there is a Ziploc at the top and the “blue sky” is painted on both sides in bright blue triangles to show the “crystals” inside. Be very careful not to lose the accessory as it is very small.
Geekkie Opinion
Even though Breaking Bad is over, it is a remarkable series. I rewatched it recently and loved it even more than I did the first time. The Jessie Pinkman Titans figure is a great figure for any Breaking Bad fan. You don’t even have to be a collector as it would make for a great display piece on an office desk or tv stand. The Titan figures can be more costly than Funko Mystery Minis but they are very well-made figures. As mentioned above, this is a series where I think you should only collect your favourite characters/items. It will be far too expensive hunting for every figure in the set. Jessie Pinkman is definitely a series favourite and the figure it very true to the character.
