The web address listed on the boxed dolls is wicked.com, instead of wickedmovie.com.

  I hope wicked.com capitalizes on this moment by releasing traffic data

    These are toys for kids. I think any attempt to capitalize on this could be a bad move legally.

      But also, kids of the target age for this doll should not be able to jump on the internet and type in any address they want. Hopefully the only traffic increase is from adults who heard about the mistake and were curious.
