This is really interesting! I'll have to check my Lemondrops to see if I can add anything. I have 3-4 that all came from lots/thrift stores/yard sales, so they *should* all be US releases. Mail Order Lemondrop is one of the few ponies I've given up trying to properly ID, lol. The others from that set were very difficult for me to find, so I will cross my fingers that one of my LD's matches this description.
Even if there was a mint in bag picture, can we be sure it's not from a playset? Was the play set LD bagged with accessories or alone?
I think Hasbro switched to their China factory from HK in about 1987? From which i conclude that the china stamped ponies are most likely to be from euro alt colour show stable ( 1988/9?) or the MO one which was also late 80s. HK ones should be from the regular show stable.Please can someone confirm if i have my facts straight? ;-)Jem

As a child I ordered the Playset 5-pack with Lemon Drop, Majesty, pink Sprinkles, Baby Tiddly Winks, and NBBE Baby Half Note. Sadly they are all long gone, but based on memory I'm pretty sure my MO Lemon Drop matched the one you've identified as such. I feel pretty confident that the MO one I had did indeed have the medium purple drops. Also, I now have the bluish drops one, and it seems like she is a bit lighter and brighter in color than my original MO one. I do not think any of the Playset MOs came with ribbons, combs, or brushes--ribbons are a possibility, but I am nearly sure they didn't have combs/brushes.Now if I could only find the pics I took long ago of my childhood ponies, I could show you my MO!
Well, I checked my Lemondrops & I have 6 that I'm certain came from US origins (I think they multiply while I sleep, lol). Of those I have: -2 with 2 stamps -3 with 4 stamps & thinner dark drops-1 with 4 stamps & wider pale dropsBased on this, I'm thinking the 4 stamp/darker drops was sold in the US at some time. The 4 stamp/pale drops could still be the mail order, but I have no way to tell for sure.
