We still have a few more months before the release of Wicked: For Good, but already fans’ expectations have remained at an all-time high.
As viewers look ahead to the release of the upcoming fantasy musical on November 21, many different companies are seizing advantage of the newfound buzz with their latest Wicked-inspired products.
Among these major retailers, American Girl Dolls has revealed that they’ll be offering three different dolls modeled after Elphaba and Glinda starting this September, as reported by Variety.
The three new dolls (which made their way to American Girl Dolls’ extensive lineup on September 22) feature the two fan-favorite characters in some of their most iconic outfits from the film.
In particular, the new collection features a doll modeled after Glinda’s bright pink outfit, complete with a wand and decorative tiara.
Additionally, two dolls inspired by Elphaba also debuted under the American Girl Dolls banner, with one figure modeled after Elphaba’s classic Wicked Witch apparel and another modeled after her purple pajamas from the song “Popular.”
The new partnership marks yet another exciting partnership building upon the release of Wicked: For Good later this fall. And if last year was any indication, it’s guaranteed fans will see plenty of Wicked-themed media tie-ins in the weeks ahead.
As fans of the first film and the original Broadway musical likely know, Wicked follows polar opposites Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande), two roommates fated to become the Wicked Witch of the Witch and Glinda the Good in the mythical land of Oz.
In the new sequel, Wicked: For Good, Elphaba continues her mounting crusade against the corrupt Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum), putting her relationship with Glinda to the test.
With 2024’s Wicked earning unwaveringly positive reviews from fans and critics alike, all eyes are on Wicked: For Good to see whether the film might live up to the expectations of the original, drawing the series to a close with a satisfying final note.
