On Friday actors Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul attended an unveiling of two bronze statues dedicated to their Breaking Bad characters in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The Walter White and Jesse Pinkman statues at the Albuquerque Convention Center were created by sculptor Trevor Grove and donated by Sony Pictures Television, which produced the drama.
Also attending were creators Vince Gilligan & Peter Gould, actor Dean Norris, series, and Better Call Saul cast members Rhea Seehorn, Michael Mando and Patrick Fabian.
Vince Gilligan said, “….some folks are going to say, ‘Wow, just what our city needed.’ I get that. But let me tell you what I see when I look at these two works of art: I see two of the finest actors America has ever produced. I see them in character as two larger-than-life tragic figures, cautionary tales, world-famous ones at that.”
At least they look better than that Lucille Ball statue in her hometown of Celoron, New York.
Enough to scare away pigeons.

The craftsmanship on those statues, to get the jackets to look just right, is phenomenal. Very nice work indeed.
