Starting today, September 10, you can buy the 2-pack doll set for $80 at the Mattel Creations site (along with the rest of the Wicked doll collection, available at major retailers like Amazon and Target). The new duo captures an early scene in the movie when Madame Morrible helps Elphaba learn more about her natural (or potentially supernatural) giftings while at Shiz University.
The Elphaba doll wears a light blue blouse underneath a gray pinstriped dress, while Madame Morrible wears a robe inspired by the night sky, complete with a popped collar, puffed shoulders, and beautiful colors that look just like the sky after the stars come out.

In addition to this new Elphaba and Madame Morrible pair, the Wicked dolls include Glinda in her iconic Good Witch of the North ballgown, with her iridescent bubble details, and Elphaba in a brand new version of the original Wicked Witch dress from The Wizard of Oz. My personal favorite doll is the one featuring Glinda in her party dress!
As a doll collector I was overjoyed when I learned Mattel was releasing these dolls — and Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were excited to see them too! Erivo posted a video of the first time she saw her doll along with Grande. "What a dream come true to be realized as Elphaba and Glinda in the form of Sweet Little dolls," Erivo says in the caption. "Little Cynthia and little Ari are pleased."
