The Brazilian Os Fofinhos ponies were considered as their version of So Softs. They consist in two pieces of felt with printed symbols, yarn hair, with what feels like a thin sheet of plastic in the middle to help them keep their shape. They are about five inches tall. The only four ponies made into Os Fofinhos were:


Backcard Story (same on all four):
"São quatro adoráveis e queridos pôneis, nas suas cores preferidas, para você coleiconar: Algodão Doce, Caramelo, Graminha e Torrãozinho. Eles são macios e fofinhos para você fazer a coleção mais carinhosa do mundo!"
