AAAHHH!

*tears out hair*

This was the unicorn set that Hasbro decided to release in the United Kingdom. To create all kinds of confusion, these girls were identical twins AND they had different identities in the North American release - there they were known as JEBBER and JABBER.

TICKLES & GIGGLES' UK Names
(from Tuggles and Toddles' UK Box)

I am 99% sure I have these girls the right, logical way around. But the trouble is that, if you base naming on other newborn twin sets, the others that are distinctive contradict one another. Sniffles and Snookums, for example, has Sniffles in the looking right pose and Snookums in the looking up pose. But Sandcastle and Shovels, in contrast, has the names and poses the other way around - Sandcastle looks up and Shovels to the right.

Because Tickles and Giggles were never denoted in Hasbro paraphernalia, and because they came out of the same set as Sandcastle and Shovels, I've chosen to name them according to this model. But there is no guarantees. One assumes that Tickles is Jebber and Giggles is Jabber, but honestly, on that front, I haven't the faintest idea. Please note that the filenames for my pictures are likely to be contradictory...it took me some time to decide which way around they should go!

*groan*

Please note that my Tickles' hair has faded. Both twins should have the same colour has as pictured on my Giggles - any with white hair is fading, not a variation.
