I recently spent a day going through old photos with my mom and found a picture of me at probably 3 or 4 (so maybe '88 or '89?) opening a pony for my birthday.  In the picture, all I can see is about a third of the backcard and the bottom of the bubble.  Here's the thing... It looks as thought he pony is white with red hair, which makes me think it must be SS Paradise, but I am almost certain that the only So Softs I had were Wind Whistler and Sundance?

Anyway, all that I can make out of the backcard is that in the bottom left corner there is a pale colored pony (looks white in the picture) with maybe pink hair and she looks to be in a leaping/bounding pose and there is what looks to be a pink on pink pony (my first thought was Cherries Jubilee? which might better support the SS theory...) immediately to that pony's right and she appears to be standing.  I can make out another pony that is white, possibly Gusty, sort of above those two.  I wish the picture would have been a little bit closer, because none of those three ponies are very easy to see and are teeny tiny in the pic!  My mom couldn't remember what pony it was, but does this backcard sound familiar to any of you?

Thanks so much!

My Little Wiki would support the So Soft theory, because that matches their image pretty closely.

What about Sugarberry? Do you remember having her as a kid?

Maybe the pink pony was milkyway or up up and away ?

Do you have the photo to share? I would LOVE to see it!!

Hmm... what's weird, is it looks like the possible Gusty on my pony's backcard is in the place where Posey is on the backcard from My Little Wiki :huh:  I didn't even think to look there for other pictures!  Thanks for the tip!!

I don't think it's Sugarberry (I honestly can't remember if I had her as a kid or not... I had quite a few TAFs, but only remember for sure that I had Buttons and Sweet Tooth) because the artwork shows the ponies as much smaller than they are on this card.  I'll try to get a picture up in the next day or so (I've got a LOT of scanning to do, lol!), but like I said, the backcard isn't very clear in the pic.

hmm... 88-89... I don't know the US backcards but the dates sound a bit late for the so soft ponies. I was thinking about Cherry Treats? Surely there are more white ponies with red hair :D

It is possibly Moondancer?
Maybe the hair could have been magenta instead of red? I'm pretty sure gusty and Cherries Jubilee are on the US backcard...  Just a thought.

sounds like the other So Soft backcard to me, the pony would still be SS Paradise. :)

That very well could be the backcard!  Thank you very much!  I guess I *did* have more than two so softs!  (It's funny, because I specifically remember my mom avoiding getting me SS ponies because I always tried to play with them in the sand box which ruined them, lol!)

Yup - multiple backcards on the so softs are confusing! Can you scan in the picture? Maybe we can try and spot it that way?
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
