Thanks for sharing!

Okay....She's pink! I hope they make a normal brushable or a Fashion Style pony!

Mmm she looks like a baby version of Cadence. Oh well, not too interested in the piggy face plushies, so I guess I'll leave them for the kids ^.^

I'm not very interested in the plush, but if she shows up in the show or as another toy, I want her!
Title: Re: New So Soft Newborn & New Character!
Post by: Starly on August 07, 2012, 09:05:46 AM
I wish she was just a young Cadence.
Title: Re: New So Soft Newborn & New Character!
Post by: Daiyuflower on August 07, 2012, 09:13:27 AM
Yeah I'm also confused since she looks just like Cadance o_O

Post by: Malicieuse on August 07, 2012, 09:20:16 AM
She looks cute! I tend not to care much about so soft newborns but i think i will pick this one up.
So...is this like a fourth winged unicorn or is this just Hasbro not caring about show canon? And i agree, Cadance would have worked too. Let's just hope she will not create more drama like Cadance did when she was revealed.

(Would it be funny if she turned out to be the daughter of Cadance and Shining armor?)
Title: Re: New So Soft Newborn & New Character!
Post by: Hunter-Rose on August 07, 2012, 09:26:37 AM
Am I the only person feeling that she is the child of Shining Armour and Cadence? I wouldn't be surprised if she is, we know that at least Cadence is going to be in Season 3

(oops Malicieuse already posted that! >.< well that's what I think as well!)

Post by: Ren-Ren on August 07, 2012, 09:41:42 AM
SQUEEE! So cute! Hope she turns up on the show!! (As everyone is saying, daughter of Cadance/SA would be awesome.)

The people running the show have already disregarded the should-have-been exclusivity of Celestia & Luna as the only two winged unicorns and I love Cadance so I'm just gonna run with it and enjoy all the unipeg goodness they throw at us! XD

Skyla's a really cute name! <3

Oh wow that is totally most likely the daughter of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor!

Title: Re: New So Soft Newborn & New Character!
Post by: Scraleos on August 07, 2012, 12:15:44 PM
The theme seems to be stars and moons, I wonder if she's maybe related to Luna? Or maybe Princess of the Crystal Empire?
Title: Re: New So Soft Newborn & New Character!
Post by: Moss on August 07, 2012, 12:19:13 PM
I don't really like the So Softs, but the possibility of her character is interesting. I agree that she might be Cadence and Shining's daughter. All of this Crystal Empire related stuff has me eagerly awaiting season 3!

Princess Cadance:  Why, thank you, Twilight!
Shining Armor:  What about me?
Twilight Sparkle:  *squints*  Nope, not seeing it.  I think your wife must have cloned herself.

I bet she's the daughter of Cadance and Shining Armor. :3  That would be cute!
Title: Re: New So Soft Newborn & New Character!
Post by: Dragonflitter on August 07, 2012, 01:20:40 PM
You know Hasbro, if she IS the daughter of SA and Cadance, they could have at least given her blue hair with the pink body!

Haha, Dewprincess is right, she's a clone!
Title: Re: New So Soft Newborn & New Character!
Post by: ShortyBoo on August 07, 2012, 01:36:23 PM
I bet she's not their daughter, but instead a younger sister of Cadence. That would explain why she looks so much like Cadence and nothing like Shining Armor. Plus, I'm pretty sure I read that Cadence is from the Crystal Empire, so it would make sense for us to have not seen any of her family yet. Though, you'd think they'd be at the wedding. Skyla is an adorable name, though.

Maybe it's just me but I simply can't get into the way the baby Pony toys look? I'ld much rather have a baby Pony Plush that looks like the in-show design, whenever I see these, all I can think of is those terrible Newborn Flash shorts.  :cry:

Speaking of baby Ponies, bit of a shame Pumpkin and Pound Cake have yet to get the toy treatment. Kind of assumed those 2 would spearhead a new design of Baby Ponies, but I suppose odds are they'll come sooner or later.

Yeah, I'm pegging it as her being a sister of Cadance's, if she's even canon; to have her be their daughter would be a logistical nightmare for the show writers. You'd have to implement at least a year's-long timeskip for it to even begin to work.

I'm going to have to agree. Either it's the  baby sister to Cadance or her daughter.
Title: Re: New So Soft Newborn & New Character!
Post by: Minachiko on August 07, 2012, 03:38:20 PM
It seems more likely that she's a sister of Cadance rather than her daughter; she looks too much like Cadance and not enough like Shining Armor!
Title: Re: New So Soft Newborn & New Character!

She has blue eyes like SA. And the star stuff... well that runs in the family with his side.  :P

It's been said before, but I'm pretty sure she's going to turn out to be ether Princess Cadance's younger sister, or Cadance and Shining Armor's daughter. She has a very, very cute design- but I'm not too fond of the SoSoft Newborns- it any different merchandise of her pops up I'll probably try to buy it.

So, is she an alicorn or just a regular unicorn? The vector on the box looks like just a unicorn, but does she have wings?

Yes, she does. (Though they are not very well made.)

Golly, I hope not. :p

Skyla's existence is going to be a fun one for the bronies to swallow, that's for sure, assuming she is indeed part of the show. Is she their daughter? Then have fun getting parents to explain that kids can be born out of wedlock :P Is she Cadance's sister? ... well, that makes sense, but we honestly have enough alicorns in the show as it is without having more thrown in. And if she's just a toy? Then this is a pretty strange move by Hasbro, as they almost never do this with toylines outside of the blindbags.

You know what?

Given the french MLP comic, I'd think this is Princess Cadence and Shining Armor's... offspring?  :blink:

Still want tho!

Not an exclusive. Good. I can order this through BBTS. Because the chances of So-Softs reaching Malaysia are absolutely nil given how poorly Learn to walk Pinkie Pie sold. Hasbro Malaysia said so themselves.

She is cute, but I'm just not into So Soft Newborns. However, if she does turn out to be Princess Cadence and Shining Armor's daughter then I may get her. She looks more likely to be Cadence's little sister to me but only time and Hasbro will evenually tell us.

ugh... Cadance, I warned you not to look into that magic mirror!!!

Probably is her foal, maybe near the end of Season 3?   Then again we had no idea Mr. and Mrs. Cake were expecting, let alone expecting twins....so it is safe to assume she could pop up mid season even.

Though, if she is, would it kill them to make her a size that's relative to her parents?

I'm sure if she is their kid, we'll see more versions of her. I'm kinda rooting for her to be Cadance's little sister.

Its pretty standard practice for Hasbro to make toys that are nothing to do with the show - the reliance on show only characters is really only telling in the main 6 repeats but so far most of the brushables have not been show featured.
Title: Re: New So Soft Newborn & New Character!
Post by: Catlein on August 08, 2012, 03:29:55 PM
Hmm... It's strange that the art for her on the box is a Sweetie Bell recolour. If she was a legit new major character, you would think they might have actually given her a proper portrait (given that Hasbro has FINALLY recognised that different vector art can be a good thing).

Yeah, that's true, forgot they did it with the brushables as well. Still, this is admittedly disconcerting. Skyla looks adorable, sure, and I doubt they'd just throw in a Sweetie Belle recolor when what we've seen of S3 looks like they poured even more effort into the animation and design than we ever thought possible... but still. Paint me perplexed.

Anyone notice on the front of the box in the little speech bubble next to her it says "Mommy are you a princess too?" is this meant to be talking to the kid playing with her or a hint at who she may be show related to? Just a thought..

Also how old is Cadence meant to be? Early 20's? I know some siblings do have a big age gap like that but to me Skyla seems too young to be her sister. I know that this is a newborn toy but she is meant to be a young filly - her box art shows this. It seems more likely to me that she would be Cadence and Shining Armor's daughter rather than a sister of Cadence. Not a fan of these newborns but I'm loving the colourings of her and the box :)

Considering the Mane 6 are about 16-19 (conservative estimate - Pinkie and Rarity are at least old enough to hold stable jobs in Ponyville, and Fluttershy is a year older than Pinkie), and Cadance was Twilight's foalsitter (the latter of whom could be pegged as collegiate age), I'd probably put her in her mid to late 20s, maybe bordering on 30. Definitely makes for one hell of an age gap.

I don't really care for these ponies... No space in my room for them (looks at the sunny daze that is still sitting in her box in her closet)
I'm holding back any judgement on YET another princess that is probably another distant relative of Celestia and Luna... kind of sick of them really XD

Edit: I am doubting she is Cadence's child... I see no hint of Shining Armor in this pony right now... I'm thinking more like a younger sibling.... if you look Rarity and AJ both have siblings that are way younger than them... This pony could also be a younger cousin too... all speculation :)

Title: Re: New So Soft Newborn & New Character!
Post by: Moonracer on September 19, 2012, 08:45:45 AM
Someone on some other site posted this photo some time ago (I've seen it via one of the Pony Thread Simulator videos).

Interesting... it would be sweet if she were Cadance and Shining Armor's daughter, but my guess is that she'll most likely be Cadance little sister. Why am I thinking this? Well, if they were to showcase Cadance and Shining's baby they'd probably have her look like the Cake babies.
The box art shows the character being close to CMC age-wise. If this artwork could be any indication that it's the characters official animation model for Cadance and Shining's daughter, then that would've meant Season 3 takes place far in the future.
However, from what I've seen so far, it appears that the characters hadn't changed that much since the ending of Season 2.
So my guess is, that if it's really going to be one of the characters to make an appearance in the show, it would probably be Cadance's sister, rather than daughter.

Dear Lord, I'm overanalyzing things again... XD

As for the toy: I personally find it cute. Not sure if I'd want to buy it, as those things can be ridiculously expensive in my country. But once I get my "priority buys" out of the way, then who knows... :>
