The visual language of the 2003 line is arguably its most enduring feature. The design team utilized a specific palette that differentiated it from the neon explosion of the 90s and the hyper-realism of the 2010s.

One of the most distinctive changes was the move away from yarn to brushable hair for the dolls. For children in 2003, this was a massive selling point. Brushing and styling the hair of Moranguinho, Blueberry Muffin (Mirtilo), or Raspberry Torte (Framboesa) became a primary play pattern. The hair was often styled with fruity-scented clips and accessories, adding a tactile element to the play experience.
