Non-Beddy Bye Eye Babies





Details
Whilst the USA were being introduced to the concept of Beddy Bye Eye Babies, the UK had four of the same baby ponies
created in ordinary baby form. Out of the six BBE babies, the existance of only four can be confirmed. These were Baby Gusty, Baby Heart Throb, Baby Lickety Split and Baby Ribbon, and each came with the variety of accessories given to the BBE ponies in the United States. None are common second hand. Despite being regular baby ponies, three of them had undeniable characteristics that indicated that their mother was a So-Soft Pony. Babies Gusty and Ribbon each did not have the classic glittery unicorn symbol, instead it was painted on, like So-Soft Gusty & Ribbon. Baby Heart Throb's symbol is simply threewingless stars, and only So-Soft Heart Throb's symbol mirrors this design. Baby Lickety Split, being that she was sold in Baby Blossom's pose hadd the characteristic early ponies in that mould all had -
three white freckles on her nose. Note that adult Lickety Split did not have freckles in any form.


The above extract taken from the 1986 insert shows the four baby ponies and indicates that their accessories matched those given to their American Beddy-Bye Eye counterparts, though a MIB one has not yet been found to prove this.

Thanks to Claire for the above scan, taken from the back of Baby Heart Throb's box. As can be seen from this scan, the *Non Beddy Bye Eye Babies* as they are known, are really *Play and Care Set Babies* like Baby Applejack from the year before.
