The "Wicked" Toy You MUST Return If You Purchased it For The Holidays!

Mattel just made a VERY wicked mistake.

Several toy-buyers discovered that Mattel printed the URL for a NAUGHTY website on the boxes of their dolls for the movie “Wicked” . . . specifically the ones for Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo).

It was clearly an accident, although a pretty big one.  The website on the dolls’ boxes is Wicked.com, which is a pornographic website . . . instead of the correct one, WickedMovie.com.

(If you go to Wicked.com, there’s a clean, black warning page . . . announcing that it’s an ADULT website, and that you need to be 18 to enter.  But if you click “enter,” there’s graphic nudity on the next page.)

The URL is in small print on the back of the boxes . . . next to the copyright information and the barcode.  (Here’s some “video proof.”)

One person said, “Mattel:  I was so excited after I bought your toy and when I went to Wicked.com to see more ‘Wicked’ products, I was met with hardcore pornography!!  This is unacceptable!!!  I expect reimbursement!”

Another commenter said, “Why would they do that, knowing that it’s mostly kids buying these dolls?”  (Well, let’s assume it was unintentional.) (???)

Others joked about how someone would be fired for this . . . or that “they’re COOKED” as the kids say these days.

Mattel admitted to the “misprint” . . . said they “deeply regret the error” . . . and advised parents to “discard the packaging” or scratch-out the link.  They are also “taking immediate action” to replace the old-stock with correct packaging.

The movie “Wicked” opens on November 22nd.  For more information, go to WickedMOVIE.com.  (Again, that’s WickedMOVIE.com.)
