In a move to reveal what is likely the first ever municipal statues honoring meth manufacturers, the city of Albuquerque is unveiling statues dedicated to Breaking Bad characters Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.

According to a press release, the statues were originally commissioned from sculptor Trevor Grove in 2019 by series creator Vince Gilligan, who is donating the statues to the city alongside Sony Pictures Television.

"Over the course of fifteen years, two TV shows and one movie, Albuquerque has been wonderful to us.

"These larger-than-life bronzes of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman exist thanks to the generosity of Sony Pictures Television and the artistry of sculptor Trevor Grove, and I love them.

The statues will be displayed inside of the Albuquerque Convention Center after being revealed on July 29.

"We also appreciate that the statues will be indoors, and therefore protected from pigeons depositing their critiques on our heads," Cranston and Paul joked.

Its prequel, Better Call Saul, is set to begin airing its final six episodes today, and its iconic meth makers (and statue subjects) Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are confirmed to return for the last few episodes. »
