This was the earth pony set of twins chosen to be sold in the United Kingdom release. Known as Tuggles and Toddles over here, their US names were Sticky and Sniffles. Comparing the two stories between the UK and the US release, Tuggles's name is inserted for Sticky's and Toddles' is inserted for Sniffles, which helps indicate which is which on both sides of the Atlantic. xD.

SEESAW STRESS
They were sold with a see-saw, but the colour of it has long been disputed.

The below North American MIB set has the yellow and aqua see-saw. I used to have another one of this set with the pink and yellow seesaw, also American release, and my sister's loose Tuggles and Toddles came from here in the UK second hand with the pink and yellow see-saw. They are pictured with this on the insert. HOWEVER my loose Tuggles and Toddles - who came from here in the UK with all the same accessories pictured below except the ribbons, just happened to have a pink and aqua seesaw. And, on the back of their UK box (which also came with my loose twin set), they are pictured with the pink and aqua see-saw. So I am of the opinion that it's the luck of the draw which seesaw you get with your twins :) I have not confirmed the yellow and aqua seesaw for the UK - but I think it far from impossible that option existed here too.

TUGGLES & TODDLES: ACCESSORIES (US release box)

The above packaged box is my US release edition MIB set of the twins, and for that reason, I am putting this here and not on the right frame. While my loose set came with box and most of the above accessories, it is not 100% clear whether they were sold uniformly this way or whether they were not. It seems highly likely that, aside from the seesaw issue, there are not huge variations in accessories between here and the North American release.
