The WIzard of Oz is an out of copyright book. So the characters and 'likeness' of them by anyone is completely legal.

Where they have to be careful, and I've noticed they mostly have, is to not rip off the 1939 movie (which created Muchkinland for example) which is still under copyright. If you're really interested in this whole debate check out the "Great and Powerful Oz" copyright discussions around the brand new movie. They worked in hand with lawyers of all parties to make sure they were good, even the color of the witches skin (shade of green) had to be "approved" by the copyright lawyers. Talk about crazy!
