Hello! I'm new to this forum, although I do belong to another doll forum. I'm making an album of me and my childhood toys and dolls...it is so much fun to bring back all those wonderful memories! I came across two pictures, and in the background is a group of dolls that my best friend had. I LOVED those dolls! Unfortunately, it's not a very good shot of them and I need your expert help to identify them. These pics were taken in either 1995 or 1996, but the dolls might be from earlier than that (even possibly late 80's, my friend was a bit older than me).

I think I remember them having soft bodies, or at least their legs were. They were around 6"-9" tall and had very colorful clothes, and I think hard shoes. Their heads were more proportionate to their bodies, not huge heads. I believe they had vinyl faces, not cloth (but my memories from 5 years old are foggy!). Anywho, here are the two pics I have. I'm the goofy one on the left, having lots of fun doing crafts! The dolls are in the background on the shelf/ledge.

I'm sorry the pictures don't show much, but if anyone can help it's someone on this board! I am so grateful to anyone who can identify these dolls. Thank you!

I'm so excited, someone from another doll board ID'd them! They are called "Playground Kids" and were made by Ertl.
