Wow now THAT is a cool SDCC exclusive!  I hope there will be tons leftover!!!

Oh wow... Looks like I'll have to try to remember what my eBay password is...

I'm going to say it right now. TAF Majesty looks weird, like a wallpaper that took on a unicorn shape. I'm thinking they went a little overboard and hopefully, she'll get eyeballs.

I think it’s absolutely awesome that the retro ponies have been so popular that Basic Fun is releasing a SDCC exclusive! Even if I never own this one (which I hope I can snag one online), it still means that Basic Fun is willing to try new things other than just faithful reproductions.   If this one does really well then they might start considering releasing new characters or “artsy” ponies in a wider market.

Cool! Majesty is a special childhood pony for me- it’s nice to see her get an exclusive. But...do you think it perhaps eliminates the possibility of getting Dream Castle...

Considering the sales of the parlor, I think the chances of DC being  released was already we low.

I made my earlier comments before I saw the pic.  Now that I’ve seen it this Majesty isn’t for me as I feel the TAF look is overdone on her and the fact that her eyes are unpainted. but I’m happy for those that like her.

I do wish that BF would release a more faithful retro Majesty worldwide so everyone would have a chance to own one.

Is anyone else thinking that this “TAF” Majesty might actually indicate that they’re planning to release a faithful repro of Majesty in the near future? Kind of like how lately the SDCC Transformers have essentially been “pre-releases” of figures that will soon be in stores... only with a little chrome and added paint to make them “special”.

I'm glad they're willing to try new takes on old toys. Is it just me, or do some of the flowers look faded?

Well said. This is one instance where I'm not even going to be a little disgruntled about the SDCC scalpers. If it encourages Basic Fun to believe there's a market for "new" G1s, then I hope they don't leave the con with even one Majesty left over.

The TAF symbols are smaller and lighter than her actual symbols, and there's a bit of glare in some spots from her pearliness, but nothing that looks faded to me.

It looks like the symbol is normal blue, and the rest of them are a tint of that color.

Ah.

[Sky_Rocket_Sammie]

Time to start stalking eBay Never thought BF would choose her but I’m
thrilled. As others have said hopefully she sells and that encourages BF
to make more.

[Minty_Magic]

Oh that majesty is really cool! I really hope i’ll be able to snag one online after the convention. She is just the right level of weird for me.

[brightberry]

I like the design.  I do hope they give her eyes.

Quick update looks like the ponies I pre ordered from Amazon.uk will be arriving on the eleventh of July.

I hope majesty stays eyeless tbh. But I am sad I won't be able to get her
