If you happened to visit the LEGO Store at Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street last year, you might remember their spectacular tie-in display for the movie Wicked — complete with life-size LEGO sculptures of both Glinda and Elphaba. Earlier this year, I shared Glinda as a Pink Thing of the Day, but with the release of the new film Wicked: For Good (full disclosure: I haven’t seen either movie yet), it only seems right to give Elphaba her moment in the spotlight as well.

Trekkie Monster is the alter-ego of Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster in the award-winning Broadway play, Avenue Q, which is an adult parody of Sesame Street.
