mylittlewiki.org Argie variant

Do you have a version of her? Any nirvana's or merchandise? What do you think of her? Share some more pics!

I have her plain old store release, SS and an adult plush. I think she's on a lunch box I have, maybe... Whew!

Post by: SpookyTrees on April 11, 2018, 07:01:47 AM: Her regular US release is very much on my want list - along with her SS version! I love her!

Post by: Safflower on April 11, 2018, 07:03:30 AM: I have her regular release with super pink hair :D I would love to have her SS or a nirvana though. Not sure if she is on any merch I have...

Post by: Leave a Whisper on April 11, 2018, 07:07:15 AM: I used to have her regular release as a kid. She was not one of my favorites and I have no inclination of replacing her.

Post by: MerryAnvil on April 11, 2018, 07:07:53 AM: My sister has her regular US release, and she's still got nice pink hair too. I'd love to have her regular US release and the SS version some day! She's super cute, and I absolutely adore the pose.

Post by: TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 on April 11, 2018, 07:16:38 AM: I have her regular US version, her hair's really frizzy and faded though. Need to defrizz and repink her eventually.

Post by: NightGliderSA on April 11, 2018, 07:27:50 AM: I have the HK girl with the light pink cones. Her hair is light pink and she still has slight vestiges of lipstick that some kid drew on her way back in her past.

Post by: dragonfly on April 11, 2018, 08:09:28 AM: Love the Argie ... on my wishlist ... but was never a fan of the regular release. Doesn't do anything for me.
Title: Re: POTD 4/11/18 Lickety-Split
Post by: Khoufu on April 11, 2018, 08:19:19 AM: I already have baby Tiddleywinks and she looks so similar, so I'll pass on normal Lickety-Split. However, I collect white ponies, and a white nirvana with red hair would be lovely.
Title: Re: POTD 4/11/18 Lickety-Split
Post by: Miniature Sheep on April 11, 2018, 10:05:22 AM: The Italian variant with the blue body and pink hair is lovely (and the "hippypony" on the backcard is an ace touch) but I saw the phrase "sold on evilbay for thousands of pounds" somewhere and now I kind of just want to run away. XD
Title: Re: POTD 4/11/18 Lickety-Split
Post by: tailrustedtealeaf on April 11, 2018, 10:36:20 AM: That's such a cute variant, I'd love to have any of them! I've only got her normal release so far.
Title: Re: POTD 4/11/18 Lickety-Split
Post by: pikkupapupata on April 11, 2018, 11:13:16 AM: I recently got an upgrade of her which was a pleasant surprise, as I wasn't particularly looking for her. Her hair isn't really faded at all; it's so pink! I just have trouble photographing it, so I don't have a great photo of her to reflect the pink in her hair.

I think my favourite variant of her is the white Venezuelan version that I saw on My Little Wiki (which says credit goes to glacia471). I love her colours and vibrance.

Post by: LadyMoondancer on April 11, 2018, 11:30:45 AM: She's a pony who I think looks amazing when her hair is unfaded pink, but once it fades even a little she becomes meh.
Title: Re: POTD 4/11/18 Lickety-Split
Post by: bright rabbit 1 on April 11, 2018, 12:45:53 PM: I have her normal version (non so soft) had to reroot her because her mane and tail were fading.
Title: Re: POTD 4/11/18 Lickety-Split
Post by: PoserBeachball on April 11, 2018, 12:57:38 PM: I have the regular version. She's nothing special with faded hair.
But she's now sporting a 'double tail' as I had a thinnish but pink donor tail which she's wearing with her own -looks as if she's had highlights done. Together with a rather fabulous hat she's now become quite the fashionista (even though she's pink, not my most favoured colour) :)
Title: Re: POTD 4/11/18 Lickety-Split
Post by: mewthemew on April 11, 2018, 01:28:36 PM: Don't have her, but I DO have a beddy-bye eyes baby one. This just reminded me I should try to find her again and clean her practically all orange eyes ;~;

If this counts as merchandise, this is probably the biggest Lickety merchandise of my childhood ;)

In terms of ponies, I didn't tick army, but actually maybe I have a small one. Basic Lickety is very common here, albeit in good condition is harder to find :/

Lickety Split 1 was my first Lickety and came from the local carboot sale. She came from our first carboot sale so I know I got her on 2nd July 1995. :D She has pink hair still but no curl, and right now she is just a mass of braids.

Lickety Split 2 is my upgrade, and has minty curly pink hair.

Lickety Split 3 is faded out and well worn, but she lives here still because I once took her to school as a prop in my Expressive Arts GCSE practical exam, so she's a thespian ;)

Lickety Split 4 is the HK version from Europe with the dark cones who I got last year.

And then I have SS Lickety Split.

Italian Lickety Split. The regular pink one :)

NC Lickety Split.

But I have nothing exceptional or exotic.

I also have the UK card for Lickety Split (1985).

If we're counting babies, then I have the Play and Care Set Baby (MIB), the First Tooth baby and the BBE baby as well.

My strongest memory of Lickety Split from my childhood, aside that song, is the story in one of the books - Lickety Split's Long Gallop, or something. When Lickety Split has eaten too much ice cream and almost gets stuck in a hedge so Majesty sends her with a message around ponyland that tells the recipient to send Lickety on somewhere else, so she gets exercise and loses weight.

Post by: pikkupapupata on April 11, 2018, 08:53:59 PM: @Leave a Whisper : I feel like if I had no other Venezuelan ponies but her, I'd be perfectly content. She's so striking and fun!

@Taffeta : I have never heard that song before, but it made me chuckle aloud, I loved it! It's probably going to be stuck in my head for the next day or so, though. XD

And what's this about European Lickety-Split with the darker cones? I've never heard of this before, but this is the second post I've seen with a specification of the cones' colour. Do you have any pictures? :D

Post by: Shaz on April 12, 2018, 01:29:00 AM: Yay, Lickety-Split! She's one of my gf's childhood favourites. She always wanted a Baby Lickety-Split as well, but never found one. Fast forward about 20 years, and we found one in a charity shop!

We also have a coin purse and some earmuffs with her on.

Post by: Taffeta on April 12, 2018, 04:53:04 AM: This is my European one :

visitors can't see pics , please register or login

To explain this, basically, 1986 was a really messed up year in Europe in LOTS of ways.

But in 1986, the UK had Gypsy, Honeycomb, Snowflake, Hopscotch and then rereleases of Posey and Cherries Jubilee.

European countries had Snowflake, Hopscotch, Posey, Cherries Jubilee, Lickety Split and white Tootsie. Sometimes made in Italy, and sometimes made in Hong Kong. The one pictured here is the HK one.

Dark cone Lickety belongs to this set.

The Cherries Jubilees sold in these two sets are different from each other and from the 1985 common worldwide sold one.

The Posey sold in these sets is the one with dark tulip symbols and is the same between the UK and Europe.

So this is how dark cone Lickety happened. She existed in a time frame when the US were getting SS ponies, so symbols got darker print, even if they weren't for SS ponies. It's true for Cherries J and Posey as well of course ;)

The song is awesome :D As a kid I knew most of that tape off by heart.

Post by: starstrider on April 12, 2018, 04:59:01 AM: I love Lickety Split. Her sarcastic attitude is compatible with my own ;) I had a hard time for years trying to find a minty SS version with great flocking AND unfaded hair AND ideally with factory curls, but literally just yesterday managed to win a super mint super pink SS Lickety in a multi-pony auction. Can't wait for her to arrive!

She is gorgeous! Congrats!

Thanks! :) I'm so chuffed to finally have her in such beautiful condition! Unlike regular ponies, So Softs are really hard to restore once the flocking is badly damaged. It makes finding one in minty, fuzzily, snuzzle-y perfection such an exciting purchase. I have a mint condition SS Satin and Lace in the mail and on its way to me as well, and she's the last of the SS ponies I need to complete my collection. It feels like an achievement after all these years! :D
Title: Re: POTD 4/11/18 Lickety-Split
Post by: pikkupapupata on April 12, 2018, 09:35:05 AM: Ah thank you, Taffeta! All of that makes sense; I knew about Posey and all of the Cherries Jubilees, just not Lickety-Split, or the So Soft connection! Now I have another variation to add to my hunting (I love UK and European releases). :biggrin:

Sure enough, as soon as I woke up this morning, the song was playing in my head. XD
