1987: Slumber Party Gift Pack

BABY NIGHTCAP

Yellow baby earthling with lavender mane and tail, three nightcaps symbol, FIRST TOOTH.

First Tooth Baby Nightcap was the baby pony from the Slumber Party Gift Pack release, following the popular trend of the year's baby ponies - although she featured a new baby earthling pose which was almost a mirror image of that used by Baby Quackers and Baby Lickety Split.

Baby Nightcap was definitely sold in the UK in two formats - firstly in the grey-carded baggie release at market stalls (I know that the ones we bought in 1994 cost about £1.20) and secondly as an extra freebie inside playsets - often those in foreign language boxes, which suggested a whole bunch of extra My Little Pony junk was foisted on the UK as the line began to die. (Does this suggest that the UK kiddies were the most eager pony fans still by this time? Or is it simply that our stores knew a good, cheap thing when they saw it?) It's important to note that NOT ALL Kitchen sets came with additional ponies. Only some at the end of the My Little Pony line.

The second version had her in a simple plastic bag very similar to those the Mail Order Baby Ponies were sold in. There is no name given for her on the bag - just a simple "Made in Hong Kong."
