The Wicked movie has been all the rage lately, with its star-studded cast featuring pop sensation Ariana Grande and talented actress Cynthia Erivo. Along with the film's release, a line of limited-edition Mattel dolls has been introduced, much to the delight of fans across the globe. However, amidst all the excitement, a major blunder has been discovered on the packaging of these beloved toys.
Eagle-eyed fans have noticed an X-rated error on the back of some boxes, which redirects users to a pornographic website instead of the film's official website. "The official Mattel Wicked dolls link to a porn site on the box," shared one shocked fan, who even posted a video highlighting the mistake. It turns out that Mattel had intended to direct users to WickedMovie.com, but due to a printing error, the wrong website was listed on the impacted boxes.
These Mattel dolls, priced at $49 each, are also available in Australia through Kmart. However, it is uncertain if the same mistake has been made on the packaging of the Wicked dolls sold at Kmart stores in Australia. 9news.com.au has reached out to Kmart for clarification on the matter. In the meantime, fans are left wondering if they too have purchased a doll with the same error.
In a statement released yesterday, Mattel apologized for the mistake and assured that immediate action is being taken to rectify the situation. "Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold in the US, which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page," read the statement. They also advised parents to be cautious as the incorrect website listed on the packaging is not appropriate for children.
For those who have already purchased the dolls, Mattel recommends discarding the packaging or covering up the incorrect link. They can also reach out to their customer service for further assistance.
