Spelling Controversy
Fan Fact:
Many fans dispute the name for the character "Moonglow" and insist that the correct spelling is without the "W". The correct spelling is "Moonglow". It was spelled this way both in North America and in the UK. The UK/German Dress-up doll package is spelled "Moonglow", the back of the US Dress-up doll package is spelled Moonglow, The insert in every doll advertised "Moonglow" and in the re-release of the 2004 and 2009 dolls the spelling is "Moonglow".
So, where did the "Moonglo" spelling come from?
It was released in 1987, at the end of the franchise run, so no additional information was released. Most fans will and often do miss-spell the name as they feel it fits the "unique" spellings of the other characters.
