As a gaming enthusiast with a soft spot for musical theater, I must say that the hype surrounding Wicked is not lost on me! With my love for both storytelling and collectibles, the Wicked Pop! collection has truly caught my eye.

It appears that enthusiasm for Wiz-o-mania is at its peak, which is fitting given that the musical “Wicked” hits theaters on November 22nd. If you’re eager to snag Elphaba’s Green Elixir at Starbucks on October 22nd or belt out “The Wizard and I” with Idina Menzel, there are numerous ways to indulge your excitement for the tale of Oz’s witches. Funko Pop is one brand jumping on the witchy bandwagon, but they certainly aren’t alone in offering new merchandise to explore.

These figurines are Wicked Pop!-ular

As reported by Variety, the Pop! collection based on “Wicked” showcases two portrayals of Glinda, played by Ariana Grande in the movie. One is a casual version in a pink nightgown, while the other mirrors her appearance in the film poster, adorned with a tiara and a long, shimmering pink gown. This extravagant ensemble is reminiscent of Glinda’s impressive entrance in the stage production. On the other hand, the nightgown resembles the dress seen in the roommates’ mirror during the trailer, where Elphaba and Glinda sing “There’s no fight we cannot win.

As an ardent fan, I proudly possess a figurine of Elphaba, adorned with her iconic “hideous” hat, initially bestowed upon her by Glinda as part of a deception. Later, she transforms it into something uniquely hers. Additionally, the figure showcases the cloak that Glinda drapes around her neck before the wicked witch soars skyward for the first time in the powerful moment of “Defying Gravity.

Other accessories

Simultaneously, Loungefly offers backpacks showcasing the two stars in their finest attire. For Elphaba, a coordinating journal for jotting down thoughts is available, but what truly stands out is a cross-body bag inspired by the Grimmerie. Given that the Grimmerie serves as a crucial guide for Elphaba’s powerful magic, this accessory proves to be indispensable. To match, there’s also a Glnda Trunk Crossbody Bag available.

On November 22, Wicked hits the theaters, so we eagerly anticipate further connections to this enchanting and mischievous endeavor.
