Wicked Dolls' Packaging Error Sparks Controversy And Retailer Reaction

The eagerly anticipated screen adaptation of the iconic musical Wicked has finally arrived, and fans are eager to get their hands on a piece of the action. However, the Los Angeles premiere over the weekend was marred by controversy, but not directed towards the film itself. Instead, the controversy centers around toy company Mattel and their latest endeavor, a line of Wicked-themed dolls. According to sources, including Yahoo Entertainment, the issue arose when Mattel printed a link to wicked.

com on the packaging of these dolls, rather than the film's official website, wickedmovie. com. This gaffe is even more noteworthy given that wicked. com has been operational since 1993, making it a glaring error. Mattel has since issued a statement advising consumers who have already purchased the dolls to discard the packaging or obscure the link... and to contact customer service for further information.

It is unclear at this time how many dolls have been affected by this mistake. As a result of the controversy, retailer Target has pulled their entire line of Mattel Wicked dolls from their shelves, and they are no longer available at any other retailers. According to Yahoo Entertainment, this move is likely a safety precaution to avoid any potential issues with consumer data or online security.

Mattel has yet to comment on the matter further. It is clear that this mistake has caused embarrassment for Mattel... and fans of Wicked are left wondering how such a blunder occurred. Despite this controversy, "the film adaptation of Wicked is set to premiere later this year," "and fans are still eagerly anticipating its release."
