Is that a prototype Lickety Split in the toy commericals?

Hi,

It looks like there's a prototype Lickety Split in both the Baby Buggy and Lullaybe Nursery commercial

Also interesting to note is on the backcard art Lickety Split is purple with red (might be dark pink hair)

It looks like she's already got faded hair in the commercial, lol. The backcard art is so dark compared to what she actually looks like.

Good eye!  I think you're right, I think she is a prototype.

I think Cuddles and Tiddly-Winks are prototypes too, they're really glossy compared to the mass-produced versions.  I think they've been painted up.

Also Tiddly-Winks looks more lavender than her actual color, which is more of a medium pink.

I think you’re right LadyMoondancer Baby Cuddles and Baby Tiddley Winks are prototypes too. I’d love to know how the prototypes changed in to the final production ponies.

They all look like prototypes to me - maybe proto Lickety-Split had white hair to begin with and they changed to light pink for production?  Somewhat ironic since many of them are now white anyways.

It probably is Lickety. Her symbols remind me of Posey's for a few seconds of the commercial, but they are black (I think?) There are so many prototypes in the commercials from the Cotton Candy symboled collectors ponies to the alt. pose DnP and all those shiny hand-painted prototypes. I wish we had them all!

They look much glossier than released ponies so they probably are, Lickety Splits hair looks white so they mightve changed it for store releases?

I saw ice creams...o.o Very clearly ice creams.

Well, the stuff I'm finding isn't very good quality so you are probably right!

Y'know, Lickety did always look lavender to me in those commercials. Hm.

[ColdRuru]

It looks like they are handpainted and not colored plastic to me.
Seems like they are all prototype then

[Safflower]

Yeah, the shine is due to the paint I believe. For other commercials you can tell they have prototypes because the ponies are shiny, even if they look like the normal versions.

I see ice cream cones too. I took a screenshot where you can sort of see the ice cream cones. They look like the cones are black and the ice cream scoops are white

Ahhhh I see it. Thanks Ponyfan

I'm guessing they were magenta or dark pink.  The contrast and video quality makes it very hard to tell.
