Sweetcream Scoops

Sweetcream Scoops is a female unicorn who appears in both of the comic book series. She has a yellow coat, rose mane and tail with gold and gamboge streaks, blue eyes, and a cutie mark of ice cream on a cone. She is unnamed in the comics, but she is named in merchandise. She shares the same design as unicorn Twilight Sparkle and Lovestruck.

Production and development
Sweetcream Scoops first appeared in Hasbro's My Little Pony mystery packs, before either of IDW's Hasbro-licensed My Little Pony comic book series were created. Her positioning in Friendship is Magic issue #1 was inspired by her name. She was mentioned by name in the description on Andy Price's eBay auction that sold the original page 5 line art from the making of Friendship is Magic issue #1.

Depiction in comics
Sweetcream Scoops appears on page 5 of Friendship is Magic issue #1, in The Return of Queen Chrysalis. She is one of a number of ponies in Ponyville who are infected during the changeling takeover of the town. She stands in a street corner, next to a street lamp, a red post box, and a pair of pink flowers.

She also appears on page 2 of Micro-Series issue #3, in How Rarity Got Her Groovy Back. She is one of a number of characters present at Pinkie Pie and Spike's after party for Rarity. She leans in toward Big McIntosh while smiling and looking at him with her eyes half-open, which he reacts to by pulling away from her while looking back at her with an apprehensive expression on his face.

Merchandise
A mini-figure toy and collector card of Sweetcream Scoops are included together as number 20 of 24 in the first wave of mystery packs, both regional versions of which were initially released in 2011. Both versions of the card depict on the front side Sweetcream Scoops standing in Canterlot. The earlier, multilingual version of the card states on the back side that Sweetcream Scoops "loves to sing!" then restates this description once each in French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Greek, Polish, and Turkish, in that order. The later, monolingual version of the card states on the back side that Sweetcream Scoops "loves to sing more than anything! She can even reach the really high notes!" On the multilingual version of the wave's included pamphlet, the toy is one of the toys that are shown in mirror image, while on the monolingual version of the wave's included pamphlet, the toy is one of the toys that are shown normally. The wave is the source of her name, which the later version denotes as a U.S. Trademark.
