Hmmm, it’s tough to tell! Hasbro’s quality control is so bad that fakies are starting to look more and more like the real thing to me! :P I really think your pony may be authentic though, the eyes are way too good for a fakie imo. I also swear I’ve seen her with the gold tinsel in stores before! I feel like she came in some sort of set?
I honestly do have G4s in my collection who have weird seams like your cadence has, so that also makes me think she’s real, just maybe not of great quality.
Do her hooves have any makings? Even if fakies are using a Hasbro mold, they usually won’t have the same foot markings!
You should take a picture of the bottom.of her feet
I'd say she's an authientic. They just always have those weird seams because quality has been in the gutter for a while. You're more likely to find the weird tall princess fakies in the wild anyway, the ones where they make everyone an alicorn. Even on those molds, it looks like the bottom hooves say simply "Pony" rather than "My Little Pony"
She looks legit to me. As Minty_Magic said, usually fakies tend to get rid of the text on the hooves when copying the molds. Plus, I've got a fair amount of G4s (many bought new) with what I assume to be a hole for the tail that they originally poked too low, and filled in later, just like what your Cadance has here. I think that'd be an oddly accurate mistake/detail for a fakie to have.
Looks legit to me. The "facial lines", chest lines, and, er, butt dimple are common on G4s.
Also I don't think a fakie company would bother with the batch number (the black number) on the bottom of the hooves.
I think she may be from the Crystal Princess set with Applejack too. I agree she's not a fakie. Hasbro quality control was pretty bad for a while.

QC is awful. I bought a Sandbar with terrible eyes, and pearly ponies with huge gaps in their neck. They don't bother to paint Spike properly anymore either, he has purple ears, chin, and fangs nowadays.

Oh definitely! My All About Starlight Glimmer's got a weird deformed hoof that goes out too far down on one side so her balance is weird.
