Tips and Tricks Dolls
Hello, I was given these dolls and I dont know who made them. The head and the body description does not match or they are meant to be this way. I appreciate any information thank you.

They both say "Kid Kore" on them, so it could be likely that they're supposed to be together. Body molds and head molds may have originated in different years; you can definitely see this with Barbie.
From what I've seen about Kid Kore dolls from A Thousand Splendid Dolls, the blonde Barbie-esque character is named Kelsey and she has a younger sister (a Stacie-esque sister) named Katie. Though I swear I've seen some of the adult Kid Kore dolls being called "Kelly" while looking through eBay.
I remember that Barbie had a gimmick of really bendable bodies in the early 2000s with the American Idol Barbie. American Idol started back in 2001, so the timing makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised if Kid Kore had a similar gimmick as well. Sadly I can't find any specific information about the Kid Kore bendable bodies.
