The 'Wicked: For Good x BarkBox Collection,' created in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, is a limited-edition release from BARK, the makers of BarkBox.
This imaginative collection reinterprets the world of Wicked: For Good through a dog’s perspective, blending playful design with rich textural details. Available to new and existing BarkBox subscribers starting at $27 per month, the collection invites pet owners and their dogs to embrace the magic of Elphaba and Glinda through a range of intricately crafted plush toys.
Each piece, from 'Elphaba’s Ozdust Hat' with its hidden tennis ball to 'Glinda’s Good Wand' and the whimsical 'Defying Gravity Chistery,' combines storytelling and sensory engagement. Completing the lineup are 'Nessa’s Squeakin’ Slipper' and 'The Grrr-immerie,' a plush spell book featuring squeakers, crinkle textures, and a treat pocket. Launching ahead of the film’s November 21 release, the collection offers a spellbinding experience for both dogs and Wicked fans alike.
