Billboardhas your view of the full Evil Collection consisting of seven dolls, including the singing Elphaba and Glinda dolls, as well as fashion dolls with the signature looks of Grande’s Glinda, Erivo’s Elphaba and Bode’s Nessarose.
Mattel Evil Dolls retail for $24.99 to $39.99 (for the Deluxe Elphaba Fashion Doll and the Deluxe Glinda Fashion Doll). The dolls are available at Amazon, Walmart and Target in addition to the Mattel store.
The Singing Elphaba Fashion Doll ($24.99) is available exclusively at Target. The retailer also carries other Evil Merchandise that fans can pre-order, such as the Lego Dorm Collector’s Set and the Emerald City Collector’s Sets.
Grande and Erivo gave a little taste of the Evil Dolls last week on Instagram. “What a dream come true to be brought to life as Elphaba and Glinda in the form of Sweet Little dolls. Little Cynthia and little Ari are thrilled,” wrote the Oscar-nominated actress.
Mattel has captured their likeness perfectly down to the smallest detail – from the wardrobe to the hairstyles and makeup, right down to the “baby hair,” as Erivo pointed out.
“It’s perfect,” Grande said, looking at the doll. “I love that it brought out my anxious eyebrows,” she joked.
Elphaba’s doll has long black braids, the character’s signature green skin and a pointy hat. Grande’s doll is dressed in pink and has long blonde hair. The deluxe doll has a crown and a magic wand.
Evil tells the origin story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and her unusual friendship with Glinda, the Good Witch. The blockbuster musical directed by Jon Chu will be in theaters on November 22nd.
