Wicked Part Two, or officially, Wicked: For Good, is still a few months away, but it’s never too early to jump on the green (and pink) hype. Before the full promotional train for the movie goes underway, there is still a lot of merch and content for the hit musical and now movie property to tide you over. And if you’re a LEGO fan, or a bookworm, or a huge Wicked fan, or all of the above, then this latest release would be right up your alley.
LEGO has released Glinda & Elphaba Bookends to let you relive all your memories of visiting the Wicked universe, whether it’s through the books, the musical, or the movie adaptation released last year. These bookends can be used as actual tools to keep your books upright on your cabinet or shelf, but they can also be used as wickedly decorative accessories for your space.
Designer: LEGO
If you’re Team Green, the Elphaba-themed bookend has all the things associated with our misunderstood “wicked” witch. This includes a model of the Emerald City and the train leading to it, a green elixir bottle, a blue flower, and of course, the Grimmerie with secret compartments for the Wizard and Fiyero figures. Now, if you’re Team Pink, there’s also much to love about the Glinda-themed book nook, which, of course, is very pink. There is the Shiz University model and a huge butterfly on top of a book stack. It also contains a compartment for the Madame Morrible and Pfannee figures.
The set includes six minifigures, with Glinda and Elphaba front and center on their respective sides and the aforementioned four characters hidden in the compartments. All of them are in their signature outfits and accessories and can also be displayed apart from the bookends. Each bookend has hidden Easter eggs as well, which fans will enjoy discovering in this 1,327-piece build. There is a building instruction booklet included, and you can enjoy every step of this build with the LEGO Builder app. Each side of the bookend measures eight inches high and 4.5 inches deep.
Most Wicked fans are really engrossed in the details of this world, so they will definitely have fun setting up these bookends. The accessories and design details are inspired by the film adaptation, but since it’s mostly pretty loyal (so far) to the musical it’s based on anyway, you’ll still definitely enjoy having this on your shelf whether you’re a fan of the movie or not. You’ll probably be singing some Wicked tunes as well while building this—because, why not?
