My Kid Kore Allison -- blonde, with freckles -- arrived today, so I have to figure out how to make baby clothes.
Allison is not a Krissy clone. "How can that be?" you ask. "Kid Kore was a clone brand." Well, Allison precedes Krissy by four or five years. It's not just the head stamp date. There exists a verifiable playset, marked 1995 on the box, that includes Kelsey, a pair of Jodi, a lot of baby furniture, and baby Allison. (I'm not buying it because I don't buy NRFB.)
If Allison is a clone of anything, it's the babies included with some of the Mattel "baby sitter" and "Barbie as pediatrician" dolls of the mid-1990s. And here's the thing: while her head mold is similar, she's a better doll than her putative originals. Because Allison can move her arms and legs! The Mattel babies of her era can't.
Maybe I'm just seeing things that aren't there, but the eye paint on Allison reminds me a little of the Magic Nursery baby dolls that were made by Mattel in the early 90s.
