The Merch Alert Thread

Don't get the Figment fandom at all, probably the most annoying character Disney ever made in my opinion.

Stitch and Tinkerbell are also popular.

Characters I find more annoying than Current-Day Figment: (but who are, thankfully, not merched much):

1) Edna Mode
2) The Mime Thug from Tangled
3) The Martin Short robot from Treasure Planet
4) The host/narrator of AK’s Dinosaur ride.
5) All the animal kids in Robin Hood, but especially Toby.
6) Flash the DMV sloth (Great one-time gag. Excruciating as a recurring character)

Great footage, too, of the Dreamfinder walk-around character with the correctly-scaled Figment puppet.

Not exactly, the puppet is actually smaller than the ride's animatronics.
IMO the 50th statue is what Figment's size should be.

True--not exactly to scale. But far better than the walk-around Figzilla. I agree the 50th statue is just about the perfect size.

Seeing both together really highlights how the character design for Figment has been tweaked to make him more expressive than the ride AAs (and slightly less dragon-like) for close-up encounters and merchandise.
