So THIS....is how the American Girl advertise Wicked costumes? THIS? This is one of the most white washed advertising I've seen in a while. Ok, if you don't have a green doll, fine. But they do have black dolls, and the actor that plays Elphaba Thropp is black. - ThreadSky

this photo was taken years ago to advertise their girl of the year (the doll on the left),, they don’t even sell the elphaba outfit on their website anymore

plus, the outfits are for the stage musical and not the movie

I actually screenshotted that image myself directly off their website yesterday. That really is them advertising it right now, go check if you don't believe me.

No I believe you and I’ve seen them do it, which…I have no clue why they’d advertise a product they no longer sell, but just figured I’d add more context

Ah, i get that. Yeah, if they aren't selling it anymore, why? Well, actually, I know why. It gets people there and they buy something they hadn't intended to before they went there. The old Bait and Switch.
