Year Released
1993 - Debuted in the Dragon Knights sub-theme of the classic Castle line.
Rarity
Uncommon - While mass-produced in the early 90s, original complete versions in good condition with untattered capes and original beards are becoming scarce.
Head
Classic yellow minifigure head with black stud eyes and thin black smile; features a long, white plastic beard accessory (part 6131) and a blue conical sorcerer's hat with silver star and crescent moon printing.
Torso
Blue torso with printing of a gold belt, a pouch, and a pattern of silver stars and crescent moons; matching blue arms and yellow hands.
Legs
Blue 2x2x2 slope brick (dress/robe) printed with stars, moons, and a rope belt that continues from the torso design.
Accessories
Includes a white plastic beard, a blue printed wizard hat, and a dark purple fabric cape. In many sets, he was also equipped with a glow-in-the-dark plastic wand or a chrome gold sword.
Color Scheme
A primary color palette of Blue, White, and Yellow, accented by Silver/Gold print and a deep Purple cape.
Printing Details
Simple but iconic pad printing on the hat, torso, and slope. The silver and gold colors were metallic and prone to scratching over time.
Variants
Variants include versions without the moon/star printing on the hat, or the 2023 'reimagined' version from the Lion Knights' Castle (10305). This specific image shows the late 90s version with the printed robe-slope.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes fraying of the purple fabric cape (as seen in the image), silver print fading on the hat, and teeth marks or yellowing of the white beard piece.

Character Background
Majisto is the first named wizard in LEGO history. He serves as a powerful sorcerer aligned with the Dragon Knights, often depicted as a neutral or guiding force within the 1990s Castle lore.
Design Notes
Significant for being one of the first figures to use a slope piece instead of legs to represent robes and the introduction of the iconic pointed wizard hat mold.
Similar Minifigures
Classic Forestmen, Merlin (Disney CMF), and the 2023 GWP version of Majisto (40601).
Collectibility
High - This is a nostalgic cornerstone of 90s LEGO. It is essential for Castle theme collectors and fans of retro fantasy aesthetics.
History
Majisto's release marked the transition of LEGO Castle from grounded medieval historical themes to high-fantasy elements like magic and dragons.
Interesting Facts
Majisto was the first figure to feature 'glow-in-the-dark' accessories (his wand) in many of his set appearances.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a stone-grey baseplate inside a medieval castle MOC or in a shadow box alongside other 1990s icons like the Dragon Master or Forestmen.
Modification Potential
The slope base makes him stable for large dioramas; his beard and hat are frequently used by customizers to create traditional fantasy wizards for D&D-style MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A legendary figure of the 1990s. While this specific unit shows cape fraying, the print on the torso and hat remains vibrant, making it a solid mid-tier collector's piece.
