1986-7: Play and Care Set/Beddy Bye Eye/First Tooth Baby Ponies
BABY LICKETY SPLIT
Pink baby pony with pale pink mane and tail, ice cream cornets symbol.
Baby Lickety Split seems to have been a favourite with Hasbro for some reason. In total she saw three seperate releases - as a Play and Care Set Pony (Europe and the UK), as a Beddy Bye Eye Baby Pony (Parts of Europe not including the UK, North America) and as a First Tooth Baby Pony (Global). Which babies were sold in Australia and that neck of the woods, I have honestly got no idea!
There's an online custom to call the Play and Care Set Baby Lickety Split "Non Beddy Bye Eye, Non First Tooth Baby Lickety Split". Gee, that's a mouthful and a half if ever there was one - and a double-negative. So to put the record straight, Play and Care Set Baby Lickety Split is her correct name. (And if you don't believe me, take a look to the top right of this page at her mint in box!).
She is different from the other two in that she has freckles on her nose (three, in white). The other two versions of the baby pony do not have freckles. Baby Lickety Split of the Beddy Bye Eyes is the infamous Baby Pony from My Little Pony, the Movie, who runs away, winds up meeting grundles and helps save Ponyland from the Smooze by hoisting Morning Glory out of a well. Okay, so that's a major summarisation, but it's the basics.
First Tooth Baby Lickety Split also played a part in the cartoon - in episodes such as Ice Cream Wars (who didn't see that coming!) and the Prince and the Pony. Both times she seems something of a bossy brat...but I guess she means well :)

 BABY LICKETY SPLIT (FIRST TOOTH BABY: Global, 87) |
BABY LICKETY SPLIT All versions of Baby Lickety Split were sold with semi-curly/wavy pale pink mane and tail. It often fades to white, so any versions with white hair are not variations but victims of the sun.
