Mattel's line of Disney Princess dolls for 2003 is the Fantasy Fashions line. Cinderella, Belle, and Sleeping Beauty each have outfits which can easily be switched around to create new looks, and each doll comes with a throne which can transform into a vanity with a secret drawer. The Fantasy Fashions dolls will be available in May 2003 for about $19.99 USD each.
The Polly Pocket line "expands" in 2003 with the new Stretchable Polly dolls - they are stretchy, smaller, and have magnetic hands and feet. The main playset for the Stretchable Polly dolls is the Hangin' Out House (due out in June 2003, with a suggested retail of $24.99 USD), with a smaller playsets sold separately: the Treetop Clubhouse (due out in June 2003, about $14.99). The Clubhouse can be expanded with PollyPlace Additions, also due out in June 2003, for about $9.99 each: the Dip 'N Dive Pool and the Gameroom Garage. (The playsets are also magnetic, so that the dolls can be placed anywhere on them, even on the ceilings.)
The regular-sized Fashion Polly line continues, with two new playsets in 2003: the Groovy Getaway Jet (due out in May 2003, with a price tag of around $14.99) and the Designer Mall (due out in June 2003, for about $24.99).
