The packaging for Mattel’s Wicked dolls mistakenly lists the URL of an adult entertainment site instead of the official domain for the film.
Wicked, the new theatrical adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, is set to open in theaters worldwide on November 22nd. However, merchandise for the film, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as the witches Glinda and Elphaba, is already on sale, and some fans have spotted a major error on the packaging for Mattel’s dolls for the film.
The back of the Mattel dolls’ packaging lists the website wicked.com. The issue? That domain belongs to an adult entertainment site, not the film’s official website, which is actually wickedmovie.com.
It doesn’t seem to be a one-off error either, as hundreds of Mattel boxes listed on eBay show the same error. However, other Wicked merch, such as a LEGO set, does list the correct URL on its packaging.
Alongside Grande and Erivo, Wicked stars Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum. A second part is due out in November 2025.
