EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[DreamfinderGuy]

Anyone who's genuinely expecting to hear about Imagination on Saturday needs to get their expectations in check. It's not even the strongest year we've had in recent times for rumors that something for Imagination is in development, let alone the fact that so many other projects are taking precedence. We were never going to hear about JII this year, we'll be lucky if we hear anything for EPCOT other than Test Track.

I agree, I’m now just crossing my fingers for 2026

Well, I hope the purple guy has a bright future at least. The cycle continues

Would a general "Figment will be at D23 in some form" soothe yall?

Now that d23 has pretty much started, has he been seen on the showfloor yet? Haven’t seen merch either. I think he’d be spotted by now. I guess things might’ve changed?

Yeah. He's apart of the plush mountain.

Monkey paw curls a finger. But not really because saying "figment found at d23" is like "fork found in kitchen".

Yknow, i have a feeling this update is never gonna come. If you really knew all along he’d only be in plush mountain, I respect the troll game lol.

 

[Streetway]

I just want them to get the mediocre update over with…

 

[MagicEye99]

Agreed. It’s either a) never happening or b) not going to be what we want. Either way, I’d just like confirmation so I can move on haha.

Being a fan of figment sucks. I know henry mystic said is future is bright, but i honestly am kidna skeptical. It’s the same cycle, and I’m not gonna go through the same two year hope cycle of getting let down

I don't think Figment is "weird Disney" even. He's a classic Disney character, one I'm kinda shocked they took until the '80s to create. Imagination is what the entire company is built on, turning that concept into a character is about as Disney as it gets.

I saw this for the first time a few months ago. Skip to 25:45. I don’t know why but the story he tells of how he introduced Figment just hits me.

No Imagination on Saturday. If it happens I'll genuinely post myself eating a potato chip.

So, uh... If it doesn't happen, what are your plans for that potato chip? Asking for myself.

I still genuinely think it’s coming, along with Disney worlds gung ho expansion, but I feel like we’ll probably have to stay strong and wait until 2026 and 2028. That sucks to think about, but it’s probably what’s happening.

Imagination and SSE won't be announced until we're one and two D23s out from EPCOT50 respectively.

Man that sucks. 2028/2030. For perspective, the closet d23 to that timeframe was the Epcot overhaul of 2019

If we don’t hear about the Figment movie tonight, is that almost a guarantee that it’s been cancelled?

 

[GenChi]

I know they had Brian Crosby out to give signed copies of his Figment comic cover from a few years ago today but that's all I've seen.

Otherwise everywhere I seen off here has indicated no JII this year. The one thing they might do is announce the media project they may be working on but that's uncertain

If we don’t hear about the Figment movie tonight, is that almost a guarantee that it’s been cancelled?

Given park connections there's a chance that if it's not tonight it's tomorrow during the parks panel. If not either it's likely stuck in that development limbo it may never get out of

That’s a shame, I hope the movie happens.
