The verdict

The minifigures are what pulled me in here, because this is the LEGO® set that finally gives you Glinda, Elphaba and four more of the gang in real minifig form.

As bookends they genuinely work, the two books sit at different heights (just like the two women) and nothing pops off when you shove real paperbacks against them. Just know the price runs high for the size, and the display reads more pretty than distinctly Wicked. Fans of the show who want the characters on a shelf will be happy, everyone else can pass.

Best for: Wicked fans who want the full minifig lineup on a functional shelf

The full review

What it is

Here's the thing that makes this one matter. Every other Wicked set so far leaned on mini-dolls, so if you wanted proper minifigures of Glinda and Elphaba you were out of luck. This set fixes that in one go, and not just for the two leads. You get Glinda, Elphaba, Madame Morrible, Fiyero, Pfannee and the Wizard, six figures pulled straight from the story, with both Glinda and Elphaba done in their final Oz forms. For a fan of the show that alone is a real reason to look, because minifigs travel, they pose, they go on any shelf, and these are the versions people have been asking about.

The catch

The set itself is a working pair of bookends, and I mean working. The two brick-built books carry ornamented G and E letters on their spines, they sit at slightly different heights so the pair still looks balanced with real books between them, and the inner faces are kept flat so nothing snags when you push actual paperbacks up against them. Little plinths on each side hold extra books and trinkets, one leaning toward Glinda and Shiz University, the other toward Elphaba and the Emerald City. There's a vase of tulips, a facade of Shiz, and a Grimmerie build on Elphaba's side that opens up. It's thoughtful stuff.

Who it's for

Value is where I have to be straight with you. At 129.99 dollars this is not a big set, and more than one reviewer said they expected the bookends to be larger for the money. The design also gets called a little random and unfocused, and I agree, it's pretty rather than instantly recognizable as Wicked. Glinda's pink dress printing is plainer than the fancier metallic work on the mini-dolls, Morrible's gold detailing doesn't line up perfectly, and the second hidden scene (the yellow brick road) is simpler than the first and won't wow you. There's also no built-in spot for the minifigs, so they just stand in front. Wicked fans who want the characters and a functional shelf piece will be glad they bought it. If you're chasing build value or clever engineering, though, your money goes further elsewhere, and I'd skip it.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build splits cleanly into two halves, one bookend per character, so it's an easy set to share or to build in two sittings. Each side starts with the plinth and the stack of books, then works up into the taller elements: a vase with tulips and the Shiz University facade behind Glinda, and the standout on Elphaba's side, a large brick-built Grimmerie that opens to reveal a tucked-away micro scene. Pacing is gentle and mostly stacking and layering rather than anything fiddly, with the two hidden scenes (Shiz and the yellow brick road to the Emerald City) giving you the only real surprise-and-delight moments. It's a relaxed evening, not a challenge.

For pieces, the real story is the printed and minifig content rather than any headline new mold. Six figures is a lot for a 1,327 piece display set, and the character prints (both leads in their Wizard of Oz looks) are the parts collectors will care about most. The book spines with their ornamented G and E lettering are nice bespoke touches, and there's a healthy pile of the tiles, plates and plants that make up the plinths and florals. Part-count value is only okay for the price though. A chunk of the count goes into structural bulk behind the facades, so you're really paying for the license and those six minifigs more than for a bag of standout new elements.

Fun facts

01Released September 1, 2025, this was one of the first Wicked sets to include real minifigures instead of the mini-dolls used across the earlier wave.
02Both Glinda and Elphaba appear in their final Wizard of Oz forms, tying the set to the 'For Good' second-film wave rather than just the first movie.
03The two books are deliberately built to slightly different heights, echoing the two characters, so the pair still looks balanced with real books standing between them.
04The inner faces of the Shiz University and Emerald City builds are kept flush so you can press actual books against them without knocking pieces loose.
