Why are Wicked toys so popular?
Wicked toys have become incredibly popular thanks to the musical's enduring appeal and the recent film adaptation, bringing Oz to a whole new generation. The story of Glinda and Elphaba resonates deeply with audiences because it explores themes of friendship, acceptance, and staying true to yourself even when the world misunderstands you. These aren't just toys - they represent powerful messages about embracing differences and challenging what we think we know.
What types of Wicked dolls and toys are there?
Our Wicked collection includes several different doll and toy types, each offering unique features and appeal:
- Wicked Singing Dolls: These special fashion dolls feature authentic vocals from the show. Press a button to hear Glinda or Elphaba perform their signature songs, making these the ultimate choice for musical theatre fans who want to relive those powerful moments.
- Wicked Fashion Dolls: Wicked dolls by Mattel featuring beautiful costumes, styled hair, and character-specific accessories. These dolls capture the essence of Glinda and Elphaba without the singing feature, offering excellent value while maintaining gorgeous details.

You can even expand your Oz world with dolls like Nessarose, Elphaba's sister. These themed Wicked dolls by Mattel allow collectors to build a more comprehensive collection.

Are Wicked dolls suitable for young children?
Wicked fashion dolls and singing dolls are generally recommended for children aged 6 and up. The dolls feature small accessories and detailed clothing that require careful handling. Younger children may enjoy the Care Bears Wicked plush toys, which are softer and more suitable for children aged 3 and above.
Should I choose Elphaba or Glinda Wicked dolls?
The choice between Elphaba and Glinda dolls often comes down to personal connection with the characters:
- Wicked Glinda Dolls: These are perfect for fans who love her bubbly personality, gorgeous pink aesthetic, sparkly gowns, and good witch charm. She represents optimism, popularity, and the journey of learning to use privilege for good.
Wicked Elphaba Dolls: These appeal to those who connect with her emerald skin, powerful presence, and misunderstood nature. She represents standing up for what's right, even when it's difficult, embracing differences, and refusing to change who you are for others.
If your child gravitates towards bright colours, princessy fashion, and cheerful characters, Glinda is an excellent choice. Whereas if your child appreciates strong, independent characters, Elphaba might be their perfect match. Consider which songs, scenes, or themes from Wicked resonate most. Does your child sing "Popular" or "Defying Gravity" more often? That might give you your answer!
Many fans choose to collect both dolls because their friendship is the heart of Wicked's story. Having both Glinda and Elphaba lets you recreate their incredible journey from unlikely roommates to lifelong friends.For more on choosing dolls, read which doll will your child love.
Can you display Wicked dolls?
Absolutely! Wicked dolls make stunning display pieces. Their elaborate costumes, beautiful hair, and authentic details mean they're as much collectables as they are toys. Many adult collectors display Wicked Mattel dolls in cases or on shelves, keeping them in pristine condition. The dolls work wonderfully as part of musical theatre collections or alongside other fashion dolls. If you're collecting for display, consider keeping original packaging for added value.
If you’re into collecting, consider adding Wicked Funko POP! figures as well. These fun-sized vinyl collectables are perfect for display thanks to their compact size and stylised designs. They fit easily on bookshelves, desks, and display cases, and their durable build makes them ideal for long-term collections. Wicked Funko POP! figures are also highly popular among collectors, often released in limited runs, which means characters can become standout pieces in any Funko lineup.
