“Keep it, it might be worth something one day,” a Redditor added.
Someone else penned: “I’m ashamed that I know where that link leads….”
A commentator shared: “Wow. I was convinced this was an edit on the packaging or something – but you’re totally legit.
“I just checked my Mattel boxes and they also have the same website – that’s crazy!”
Mattel has been selling dolls of characters from the movie Wicked based on the Broadway musical – mainly selling action figures of the two main witches
A netizen admitted: “I’m going to the shops tomorrow to check them out. They might end up being collectors additions!”
A separate individual chimed in: “It’s like the person who was assigned in packaging tried to ask his coworker what the website of Wicked was and both of them had no idea so the coworker just said ‘It’s probably wicked.com’.”
Mattel has since told Variety: “Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel ‘Wicked’ collection dolls, primarily sold in the U.S., which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page.

“We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this. Parents are advised that the misprinted, incorrect website is not appropriate for children.
