The iconic toymaker has released a series of dolls to tie into the beloved musical’s upcoming blockbuster film adaptation, but eagle eyed customers noticed a rather unfortunate mistake on the packaging. Instead of directing people to the official Wicked movie website, there was actually a link to Wicked.com, which is actually a site for a porn studio’s new offering.
