Mattel’s ‘Wicked’ Movie Dolls Mistakenly List Porn Site on Packaging

As someone who has been around long enough to remember the VHS era and the rise of the internet, I must say this Mattel faux pas feels like a throwback to those early days of the World Wide Web. The unintentional linking of a pornographic site to a children’s toy is a mix-up that would make even the most seasoned web surfer raise an eyebrow.


Something sinister is hinted at in the packaging of Mattel’s “Wicked” movie dolls, but it’s not the official website for the upcoming film version of the award-winning musical featuring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

Mattel unintentionally placed a link to an adult content website instead of the intended one (the official “Wicked” movie site) on the packaging for its dolls made in collaboration with Universal’s “Wicked.” The correct URL for the film is www.wickedmovie.com, but the box label only shows the word “wicked.

Alternate Phrase:

Images of URLs discovered on “Wicked” doll packaging have been widely shared online. These exclusive edition dolls can be purchased from retailers such as Target, Amazon, and Kohl’s.
