OK already the tv and air waves are overflowing with media hype for the upcoming Wicked movie. Can you just imagine all the $$ made on all the stuff being sold? I do not "buy" into this type of hype. It's a movie (first a Broadway show!) for heaven's sake.

It's like any other major Hollywood production, especially one directed toward children and rated pg. The kids want dolls and paraphernalia related to something about which they're excited.

I'm ready to hear about something beside what's been going on in the country.

LOL! LOL!

It's called Marketing 101 and it's been around for 100 years!

More power to good old business capitalism and good luck to all of the collaborations!

The surprise and outrage cracks me up! This is as old as film itself.

This is no worse than either Barbie or Frozen (that was over 10 years ago).

But for some reason there seems to be a particular animosity towards Wicked!

I'm thinking back to to Star Wars with the action figures, space ships and Princess Leia dolls as well as E.T. dolls. I do no get the outrage over the Wicked paraphernalia.

@Tori3569

It's Walmart's WICKED Advent calendar with a small collectible each day. About $20.

I assume they want to make the same type of money that was made off the Barbie. The promotions and tie ins and sales went on for over a year with that movie. Everything wAs Pink. Why should Wicked be different? And let's not forget Frozen. We still seeing Frozen merchandise.

Thanks for sharing ALL these AWESOME Wicked Collections!! @They Call Me MR Wilkes

I think Amy’s LUG collab with Wicked sold Very Well.

I was lucky to pick up 2 Wicked Wallet Wristlets with Bonus Wicked Crossbody straps and one of LUG’s Wicked movie throws before selling out!

I could not find the dolls, but a friends mother in law that just about goes out shopping every day found them and bought extras when she did. Smart Shopper!!

eBay sellers are trying to make a killing off the dolls with the false link though. Just CrAzY!!

WOW Very impressive fashion!!! @They Call Me MR Wilkes.

Keep ‘em coming! 🤗

I wonder if LOGO will get on board. Lori has done many Collabs through the years. I could see her coming up with some 😎 looks!
