Mattel has pulled its “Wicked”-branded dolls from major retailers, following a misprint on the packaging linked to an adult website instead of the official "Wicked" movie site. The toy company acknowledged the issue, urging consumers to discard or obscure the misprinted link and contact customer service if needed. The error has triggered a reselling craze on platforms like eBay, where the dolls now list for as high as $2,100, well above their original retail price.
