Wicked dolls list porn website on packaging upsetting fans; here's what happened
Wicked dolls play a dirty trick
Something wicked has happened with the Wicked dolls. Ahead of the release of the Marvel film on November 22 in theatres, netizens started talking about the massive oops moment as dolls related to the characters of the film had controversial packaging — the toy box listed a porn website instead of directing the fans to the original website of the film.
The film’s website is WickedMovie.com but the address listed on the plastic packaging of the special edition dolls was written as Wicked.com which is a pornographic website. The latter website directs to a page that requires users to be 18 years or older to enter.

Notably, the pornographic site also notes that Wicked Pictures “continues to diversify and expand its commitment to quality cinematic content” through films like “Black Widow XXX” and “Captain Marvel XXX: An Axel Braun Parody.”
Apologising for the grave error, Mattel (the brains behind the dolls) issued a statement to Variety. It said, “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. Consumers who already have the product are advised to discard the product packaging or obscure the link and may contact Mattel Customer Service for further information.”
Here’s what the netizens thought of this error:
“Hey @Mattel whoever is responsible for your marketing/packaging for the new official Wicked dolls has made a HUGE mistake,” one person wrote on X. “The wicked.com on your packaging takes you to a porn site!”
Another X user wrote, “Whoever did this needs to be fired immediately cuz why would they do that knowing that it’s mostly kids buying these dolls.”
