Mattel regrets being in the news and keeping attention
I suspect those dolls, still in the packaging, will be quite the collector’s item in the future.
You expect people to care about Wicked merchandise, misprint or not, in the future?
The value of these items isn’t purely from their rarity but also their demand. If it was Star Wars or something yeah maybe it’ll last.

This is such a Lemmy take. Ariana Grande is one of the biggest pop stars in entertainment, and Wicked is ONE OF THE BEST SELLING BROADWAY SHOWS EVER. Only behind the Lion King in total sales I think.
If a doll from Ariana’s dinky little Nickelodeon tv show (don’t come for me Victorious stans) is selling for this much, how much do you think her doll from Wicked is gonna sell for to the Broadway enthusiasts and Ariana stans?
Not everything is for you, but that doesn’t make it irrelevant.
Is she the same person to get korean bbq tattooed on her hand?
No, what an utterly ridiculous lie to spread. She would never get “Korean bbq” tattooed on her hand, she’s a multimillionaire with tons of resources at her disposal to prevent a silly mistake like that. Instead, she got “small charcoal grill” instead of “seven rings”. But don’t worry, she got it fixed apparently, so it instead correctly read … “small charcoal finger grill”.
Because she’s popular right now. We’re talking about the future, do you think Wicked has the longevity of other popular franchises? Is Wicked as big as Harry Potter was? Because that has some staying power behind it.
I think she’s a singer or something. 🤷♀️
do you think Wicked has the longevity of other popular franchises
Babes, Wicked has been a musical theatre darling since 2003. It already HAS longevity and popularity, just not in your circles. Once again, 2nd biggest Broadway show of all time, (actually of this millennium.) It’s not #1 only because Lion King has been around longer.
The Broadway Girls™️ and Broadway Gays™️ are coming for that merch, and so are the Ariana Stans. Again, look at the price of that Cat Valentine doll.
(Also, comparing Harry Potter to Wicked is funny because of how they’re two of the THE 2008-2015 Tumblr fandoms (ignoring Superwholock))
The difference is Harry Potter was an all ages international phenomenon, not just a Tumblr fandom.
So few things actually become collectibles, you’d have more luck with a beanie baby than you would this misprint Wicked merch long term.
I saw the Harry Potter movies.
You missed every point I made.
Unfortunately it’s not a conversation, they’ve already decided their right and no amount of illumination on their obvious blindspots is gonna change that.
You do realize Wicked is based on a 85 year old movie right?
We’re talking about the future
From the perspective of when the play got launched, we are already in the future. And it’s still massively popular. Your point?
Is Wicked as big as Harry Potter was?
Comparing just the stage plays? Definitely, it’s in fact orders of magnitude bigger.
Comparing it the media franchise?
Not a sensible comparison as they’re not both similar franchises. You could compare HP to Pokemon or Mario instead, or Wicked to Aladdin or Lion King.
The play is extremely popular at 21 years old. I saw it as a teenager and enjoy when bits of it come back into my mind despite never really being into it. But there definitely are people still obsessed with it. It’s a damn good play.

Do you think people view Victorious as a popular franchise today?
Idk theater girls love Wicked. The question is how much demand that supports for a porn misprint.
I know theater girls and I know theater gays. The former may like it, the latter will love it
I’m always surprised to go another day where I don’t hear anyone mention the risk of this mixup with Tushy, the anal porn site, and Hello Tushy, the bidet company.
Maybe they do crossover marketing?
People who do butt stuff are probably a huge market for bidets in America, and other places that they aren’t as common.
You need more than a bidet to clean your asshole for penetration
You’re not gonna tell us the website?
OP says they linked to wicked.com, which I’ve never heard of but does look like a pay porn site.
I checked it out… for science. Has big “brunch team” energy. The subscription should come with a free bowl of soup.
Also it doesn’t seem to let you see anything risque without logging in, so honestly even if a kid went to the site they wouldn’t see anything
You can def see some clips on there without logging in
Ah, I didn’t do enough digging
I only found them bc I was pretty sure an ex and I rented one from that company on VHS in the 90s so I went looking to see if they still had the really old ones.
A discussion on the other site claimed that the fuck-up was in the copy that Universal sent to Mattel.
And that wrong websites frequently end up on packaging in other industries.Mattel seem to be doing the sorry-dance for it, so no idea if it’s true. Though I’m sure Universal would be very keen to not be involved.
