Disney Consumer Products and JAKKS Pacific, Inc. introduce the new Princess & Me lifestyle brand of large “friend” dolls inspired by beloved Disney Princess characters, now available at Toys”R”Us stores nationwide. The new collection creates a world where girls can deepen their friendship with their favorite Disney Princess characters through an all new assortment of beautifully sculpted 18″ scale dolls, fashions, accessories and dress-up that appeal to a slightly older Disney Princess fan (girls ages 5 — 8). Beloved as a lifestyle brand for girls around the world, Disney Princess ranks among the top choices for dolls and girls role play in the United States.¹ Already a leading brand in the fashion doll category,² Disney Princess now offers girls a new way to play with their favorite characters with the Princess & Me line, the first foray into the large doll category for the powerhouse brand.
For the first time ever, girls can dress their favorite Disney Princess dolls in sleepwear and ballet outfits in their signature colors and styles. Stunning matching dress-up ball gowns for girls from JAKKS’ Creative Designs International (CDI) division allow girls to mimic the exact outfits their dolls are wearing — just like real friends do. Designed with special attention to detail and high-end fabrications, Princess & Me delivers an aspirational look and feel that envelopes girls in a royal world and allows them to “grow” with their favorite Disney Princess characters.
Toys”R”Us is the first retailer to showcase the collection of more than 25 Princess & Me products, available now in its stores nationwide and at Toysrus.com. The retailer recently named Princess & Me dolls to their list of ‘Fabulous 15’ toys for the holiday season. At a holiday preview event this summer, moms and their daughters gushed over the beauty and quality of the dolls, role play dresses and accessories. In July, the Princess & Me 18″ dolls made their initial debut on QVC®’s CHRISTMAS IN JULY® as one of the top selling items during the event. Disney Stores will also carry the Princess & Me line later this fall.
“This new line of ‘friend’ dolls is perfect for young girls as they get older,” notes Elaine Carovilla, director of girls’ toys for Disney Consumer Products. “Princess & Me dolls invite girls to develop a deeper relationship with a trusted companion — a Disney Princess character who they know and love and whose stories they’ve grown up with — while also allowing girls to continue playing out the thrills of any adventure she can dream up.”
On October 16 from 2 — 4 p.m., girls are invited to attend the Princess & Me Royal Party at their local Toys”R”Us store to participate in royal activities, including a decorate-your-own Princess & Me tiara, story time, and more. Attendees will also be given information on how to enter the Princess & Me online sweepstakes to win a Princess & Me doll, a set of fashions and the entire collection of accessories.
“The sophisticated styles and attention to detail, as well as the new activity themes, should resonate with girls who grew up with Disney Princess and are now looking for new ways to relate to the characters as they get older,” added Jennifer Caveza, vice president, girls marketing, JAKKS Pacific. “Princess & Me will appeal to all girls who love everything ‘princess.’ The entire line provides a royal world where girls can play out what they love to do with their favorite Disney Princess friends.”
Each doll comes with a booklet filled with Disney Princess fun facts and activities including a “Princess Personality” quiz, doll accessory features and tips for how to live like a princess including smile, hair styling, tea party and slumber party tips. Girls can even send in a card to become an honorary princess and will receive a special card from their favorite Disney Princess on their birthday.
