Majesty versions, help!

[Tiara546]

Hello all,

as some might know I am an editor to the wiki. When recently, a fellow collector gave me some info about Majesty and her Mail Order version, I did try to fit it in there but the versions and variations listed are not reflecting the "mane" circumstance at all, i.e. from what I now know, the mane of Majesty's MO version starts closer up to her horn while for the store version, the mane sits further back. Upon viewing Ebay images, I could clearly identify both versions and even found both in my own collection, because at a time, I did notice a difference even if I did not know what it means.

Wiki however only states differences according to eye color, country stamped, hair streak and even symbol size (many ponies I encountered have differences in symbol size, for example Sparkler in her unicorn version with glittery symbols).
Here is the link for you to see: http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Majesty

I did enter a notion in the descriptive text to the image uploaded there but would not know how to merge it into the other info that's already there. Could anyone please help clarify? I might not have time for editing right away but I would still like to have a starting point for when I have less other stuff to manage.

Is it confirmed that the hairline is the way to tell mail order from regular apart?  I think I remember that at some point it was a discussion about this, and that several people stated they had the supposed MO varint from their childhood dreamcastles, so it couldnt really be confirmed that this was true.

My childhood Majesty has a full hairline & I got her for Christmas one year with the dream castle, so not mail order. I'm in Canada though, so maybe that makes a difference?

Was your Majesty in the pink castle or the purple castle?

So, I follow various pony people on Tumblr and someone posted a picture of their MO and regular Majestys (that had the hairline difference).

Something I noticed was that Majesty ALSO had a difference in the shape of her eye pupil (the black part in her eye).  It was similar to the differences you see between the Big Head and Small Head flutter ponies, or between the China and Hong Kong sets of wingers.  I don't know if that is an additional point that might be used to ID regular versus MO Majestys, but I think it's worth looking into.

Especially since, if that IS a legitimate difference, it might help ID the rest of the MO set--Lemon Drop, Tiddly Winks, etc.

Here is the post in question:

As you can see, regular Majesty has an iris shaped like a thin crescent moon, while MO Majesty has an iris that is shaped more like a canoe. I don't know if this is a legitimate difference across the board, however, or if this just happened to be the case for these two ponies.  I think it would be interesting to see a bunch of Majesty headshots, to compare.

That Majesty on the wiki page is mine and definitely came with my pink Dream Castle. So, no I would not say hairline is a deciding factor.  (I went ahead and removed the notation on the wiki that called her a mail order.)

Ah thank you Breyer, also for the clarification. Still I wonder about those version variations. It might help if people who know for sure wether their Majesty was bought in a store o not would post pictureson here so we could start an analysis? I don't have any I can be sure of, unfortunately.

I thought the hairline defined castle pony vs individual store pony. I looked it up awhile ago since mine has a full set of hair and deduced that full set of hair meant she didn't come with a castle. If that isn't correct, I'd be curious to find out.

[Breyer600]

I suspect it's a case where the receding hairline Majestys are definitely from the castle, but the ones with with normal hairlines can be either one.  Anyway, here are some more recent pics of my childhood Majesty (same as the one on the wiki) with close-ups of her head to show her hairline and eyes.  While I have other Majestys in my sales bin, she's the only one I can say with 100% certainty came with the castle.

Seems like she has the white stripe on different side on those two?
