Wicked mistake

bombaycat — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 21:17:45 GMT

Apparently there is a mistake on the boxes the dolls are sold in. It mentions to go to wicked.com but that is a porn site. It should say wickedmovie.com. I know qvc sold the dolls so not sure what they are doing about it. Some of the stores are recalling the product.

Hey, those Wicked.com boxes might be worth something! I would hang onto mine (if I actually got one.)

Speaking of wicked mistakes, I always thought it was a wicked mistake that the whole 'Wicked' thing became such a sensation.

I'd read the book when it first came out, and believe me, never dreamt that it'd one day be turned into a musical!

*wicked mistake:

I'm from the east coast, and we use the word 'wicked' a lot.

Wicked cool, wicked nice, etc.

I don't believe that QVC sells these Mattel dolls.

A recall from those who already purchased is silly. A parent could just take the doll out of the box or use a black magic marker (if it's for a child!)

Stores can take it off their shelves if they want. Mattel will probably provide some sort of stickers for retailers.

Qvc does sell the dolls. I bought one. Actually I thought they were the only place selling them until I saw the story on the news.

You just accidentally hit it. It's no big deal and people do it all the time. There was no need for you to be scolded lol

@bombaycat It's no big deal. I think when I first started posting here, I did the same thing. Btw, welcome to the forums.

I wonder if someone at Mattel got in trouble for the mistake @They CallMe MRWILKES .

@bombaycat - First of all, welcome to the forums!

And I've been here for years and accidentally inserted a spoiler box and not known how to get rid of it.

I think it's because it's a yellow circle and it looks like a smiley emoticon.

It's no big deal. People who have been around these boards for a long time know how to ignore it, when it's used accidentally. Many have done it!

Oh and, as to the original subject - too funny! I'm sure someone at Mattel is very red-faced right now.

I worked for a national chain toy store for a few years. This is the kind of thing that makes ordinary toys collectors' items.
