So why would they make a differense in the carded vs boxed one with one of them, but not the other?
How about the timeline here. Where both Lemon Drop and Bowtie with stroller available at the same time, or did they come out in different years? And did the carded Babies come out at the same time, or when where they available?
And how about Tiddlywinks? Have anyone Heard of a Spain marked version of her? Did she come with the Nursery as well as on card?
And why on Earth is Moondancer marked Spain, whereas the others seems not to be, if they are from the same set? Or is there a NC version of her too?
Hi there! Well.. as far as I know, babies were available at the same time more or less. At least for the playset ponies and the "canastilla" ones.
In this catalogue from 1987 we see they did sell at the same time:

In my opinion NC Baby Lemondrop with stroller was never released in Spain. Just the carded one. So I guess that at some point either the Spanish factory made that pony for other countries, or sent the mold around. I'm more inclined to the first option, because all the NC Baby Lemondrops I've seen seem to have the same factory flaw on the eye... regardless of the country it was sold in.
About Tiddlywinks, I've never seen it marked Spain. Just NC. Again, I don't think the spain marked mold was ever used on it.
And the why is Baby Bowtie both marked Spain and NC? Well.... that is the big mystery! Maybe they miexed molds? Reused one for Tiddlywinks and kept the other for Bowtie? Idk... It would be great is someone could show us both Bowties MIB/MOC to see the markings on them. I do believe there are slight differences between the two releases. One has thicker hair and purple eyes. While the other has thin hair and blue eyes.
As for Moondancer.. although she came carded, I believe they must have used the same mold they used for the other baby unicorns. Having two white unicorns its pretty easy they would have done that.
I hope this helps? Idk. The Spanish factory seems to be a bit of a mess
ETA: I believe that post you quoted was an old one as I seemed to believe that Baby Moondancer came with the Canastilla Set too, but I think today I have more experience and knowledge and have come across more ponies :p
