Beddy Bye Eye Baby Lickety-Split

Baby Lickety was sold as part of the Beddy Bye Eye Baby set in North America in 1985-6. The set was also sold in Benelux countries in translated boxes. She came with an array of accessories, in order for her new guardian to take good care of her.

Unlike the UK Play and Care Set box, the Beddy Bye Eye baby box made a direct connection between mother and baby pony. The set name was on the top flap, while the front of the box proudly announced that Lickety Split now had a baby. The box featured Baby Heart Throb and Baby Ribbon on the top flap and Baby Lofty and Baby Lickety Split on the bottom corners. All six characters featured on the back of the box.

Baby Lickety Split was a particular popular pony in Hasbro's production manual. Not only was she sold as part of the UK and Europe Play and Care Set, she was also sold as a First Tooth Baby Pony, which was released in North America in 1987 and the UK around 1988.



Baby Lickety Split's character

Baby Lickety Split was a main character in My Little Pony, the movie. After a falling out over a dance performance, she ran away from Dream Valley with Spike in tow. She accidentally discovered Morning Glory trapped in a well and helped to rescue her. She was also a key part of the events to follow, as her rescue of Morning Glory and her own unwillingness to step back helps to persuade Rosedust and the Flutter Ponies to save Dream Valley from the smooze. Her key role in the story may explain why she was such a popular toy for Hasbro to produce.
