OTHER INFO:

Release Info

Majesty was the Play Set Pony for the Dream Castle Play Set in late 1983
- Dream Castle did have a second release, but it did not include Majesty
She was also available as a Mail Order Pony
- She could be ordered for 4 Horseshoe Points + $18.00 (Source)

Accessories

The Dream Castle came with many accessories. For Majesty specifically, she got a yellow brush, a blue "damsel hat", a cape, a crown and four ribbons
- The ribbons were blue, pink, purple and yellow
- 2 of the ribbons are for her hat, one is for her cape, and one is for her tail. Usually I see her with the blue ribbon on her tail; unsure if the playset instructions specify which ribbon is "supposed" to go where

Variants

Majesty has several noted variants just within her common, Hong Kong brushable
She can have either purple or blue eyes
- Both purple and blue-eyed Majestys have been spotted sold with Dream Castle
- Mail Order Majesty appears to only have been sold with blue eyes
- It appears there may have been light vs dark purple & light vs dark blue variants, but this could be an issue of fading
Mail Order Majesty has her blue streaks mixed into her hair, rather than rooted as a separate bunch of hairs in the middle (in the style of ponies like Moondancer)
There are also differences in how far back her hairline is, but it's unclear if these correlate with the Playset vs MOP versions of her. It has been said that her MOP version has a mane that starts closer to her horn, but there's also claims that there are Playset Majestys with this sort of "full hairline" as well.
The way the irises/pupils of her eyes are drawn also has variation, which may differ based on if she is from Playset vs MO
Regarding Majesty's confusing variations:
- MLPTP (2008 thread), MLPTP (2010 thread)
- MLP Arena
- Worthpoint post that agrees w/ the MOP hairline claim

Other Info

Seems like it might be common for her to come with mismatched head-body colors - At the very least I've seen more pictures of it than I usually do for ponies
Majesty has only one known Nirvana, from Italy
- Technically, it appears that the Italian Majesty has three different variations...
- The Italian Majesty is named "Re Unicorno" and is referred to as a boy

Media:

Majesty appears frequently in the UK G1 Comics - She is in almost every issue
She was in several G1 picture books
Majesty was one of the inspirations behind G4's Princess Celestia

Personality: In the world of G1 MLP (most clearly outlined in the UK comics), Majesty is the most powerful of all unicorns. Most unicorns have hyper specific magic skills related to talents or interests - Majesty's magic powers are wide-ranging and undefined, seemingly unlimited. By using her horn, her magic staff, magic mirror, or a song-spell, Majesty can perform advanced magic. She can grant any wish, including changing the weather!
