Blue eyed Moondancer?

[toralei]

Ya know, I have two versions of Majesty back home, one with blue eyes and one with purple.  I'd always wondered if that was a known variation.  Or is one the MO version, or something?

I have also seen blue-eyed Majesty before.

Oh, huh, I didn't realize there was a mail order Moondancer!

No they're talking about blue eyed MO Majesty. Though pearlized baby Moondancer was a MO

[Elisto]

Ah, OK. So mine's just a little mutant, huh? Hahahaha

Or evil blue eyed clone? LOL!

[Elisto]

Gasp! Oh, I'm going to need to keep an eye on her huh? Make sure she plays nice with her sisters.

[NichiTsukinoko]

If you find another one, hook me up!

[Elisto]

hmm, well looks like I've got a few interested people now!

Any idea how much something like this would be worth? Or a regular one for that matter since I don't think I want 5 anyway.

I swear I've read numerous times that purple commonly fades to blue, but no one has mentioned it here. Is that info wrong?

[Elisto]

I questioned that in my op...I've read that purple can fade to blue too, but wouldn't it be a lighter blue than what I have? It just looks too dark and vibrant to be faded to me. Her hair and symbols look normal too. And you can't tell in the pic, but she need to be sunfaded because she's a bit discolored, so I don't think she's seen the sun for quite a while, although that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

I would guess it's a variation in the paint...  but nonetheless, she is very pretty with blue eyes too!

There was a mail order version available only through a specific store in the states - Moondancer and the other Uni/Peg from her set all came in little white cardboard boxes and were sealed in plastic bags....however this Moondancer had purple eyes...so thats not where she is from

I am going to agree with most others...probably a cool factory variant...

I agree that it's too dark to have been faded.  It look a lot like the Italian blue eyes.  I agree with cool factory variant!

As for price, hmm, I think she could go for anywhere between $5 more to $20 or $30 plus her purple-eyed price.  Depends who looking, but there does seem to be a lot of Moondancer collectors out there, myself included, so you could probably wait until a decent offer came along.

And the Majesty variations is known.  One was the playset Majesty, one was the Mail order one, I believe.

[Elisto]

Well, I'm not planning on selling this one, but I might sell one of my regular ones since I don't need or want multiples.

My guess is a wrong dye lot at the factory. As for the blush that is common to be missing - either cleaned off or worn off.
There are a lot of little differences between ponies - Moondancer was first released in 1984 - not every batch of paint is going to be that perfect shade.

She's a lovely variant, whether factory error or otherwise.
