‘Wicked’ Barbie Doll Boxes Accidentally Link to NSFW Adult Site
Wicked fans have discovered a major mistake in franchise's merchandise packaging.
Social media has been ablaze after fans found a shocking error on some of the musical movie’s packaging of their merchandise. Most prominently, the mistake allegedly appears on the Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) Mattel fashion dolls.
The packaging includes a link to “Wicked.com,” which leads to a pornographic website, also called Wicked.
The actual website for the film is WickedMovie.com.
According to comments on social media, fans are claiming that this mistake extends to other merchandise items, including all the boxes in the Wicked doll collection as well as on toy instruction materials.
Some fans have theorized that the NSFW website is aware of Mattel’s error. They currently feature two photos of female adult stars in the Elphaba and Glinda signature green and pink colors, next to one another. A coincidence? Or opportunity to capitalize on the promo?

"I work in manufacturing. This is on a LOT of people," one TikToker wrote. "There’s multiple steps that this has to go through before being printed and not a single person thought to visit the website. Mattel didn’t think to purchase the domain."
"I honestly do not know how this slipped through. Seriously how many people had to have signed off on this? And no one picked it up when the actual correct site is: wickedmovie.com," another user commented.
Some people shared that they're going to buy the dolls "just for the Mattel errors lore."
