1984-7:PLAYSETS

With an introduction of a whole set of Baby Ponies, it seems logical that they needed somewhere to live! The Lullabye Nursery was the solution - a nursery equipped with bathing, play and bed facilities that were all a baby pony could want. With this playset came a cheeky little baby pony, "Baby Tiddly Winks", who, by dint of her playset release, is one of the more common Baby Ponies from the early years. The above picture is taken from the UK insert, 1985.

In the United Kingdom, the Lullabye Nursery was offered from 1984-5 through till 1987 and for the whole time the baby pony sold with the set was the original edition baby, with normal style eyes and three white freckles on her nose. In the United States and Canada, sometime around 1986 the release changed to include a Beddy Bye Eyed version of baby Tiddly Winks. She was never sold in the UK, and had open and shut eyes to fit the new style of the time. She had also lost her freckles! Both babies are pictured below. Please note that Beddy Bye Eye Baby Tiddly Winks's hair has faded somewhat and should be the same pink as Original Baby Tiddly Winks's.

Probably as a result of being released for so many years, there are accessory variations to this playset. Some sets have a blue bath, cabinet, shelf unit and mirror, and others have a pink bath, cabinet, shelf unit and mirror. Both are equally common. There is also a grey area surrounding the playset's stickers - though it seems both flat and puffy sticker options were available :)
