So Soft Fifi

Fifi was sold as part of the additional character range tacked on to the original release of So Soft Ponies. We can say she is part of set 2, or Set 1.5, as she was released alongside existing So Soft characters from the first set. She was never sold in the UK in any form, although a baby version of Fifi was sold via the First Tooth Baby set here in 1987. Her hair was intentionally curly. Please note that my loose pony, above, is a little discoloured.

Fifi Mint on Card
North America, 1986
Fifi appeared on her backcard without the pink streak in her mane, and as an earth pony, which may explain why her offspring was an earth pony in the later release (although she kept the streak).

 This was never corrected as Fifi was not reissued in the final 1987 So Soft set. Although it shows Fifi in a different pose, this is more likely because the original 1985 card was recoloured, rather than any intention to release her in this pose.

Fifi's Character

Fifi's only media appearance is her backcard story, which is actually pretty cute. It depicts her watching the clouds playing games when she notices a lonely little one all by itself. When she asks it why it isn't playing with the others, it tells her that it wants to change into pretty shapes, but doesn't know how. Fifi helps it by drawing templates in the sand for it to copy. At the end of the day, the cloud turns itself into a poodle - Fifi's 'favourite friend' - as a thank you. (This implies that Fifi had a pet poodle, but no such character was ever introduced).
