This is the Figment plush I have. He's still got his shirt with the velcro closing on the back and BOTH his little wings. (What did you do to yours, Merf?? :lol: ) I got him on most likely my first trip to WDW back in 1984.
I have the mug on the right. I think the original one I got (again, probably from the same first trip around 84) is in my mom's hutch. But I bought another of it last year on ebay. I use it regularly for my tea. The bottom says, "Made Exclusively for Epcot Center JAPAN" and has the Epcot Center world logo as well.
People on eBay put the "original" thing in their auctions either because they want to intentionally mislead people, or because they don't know when it actually came out, and they see the 'copyright 1982' on the tag, and assume it came out when the park opened. This is not the case. The concept of Figment has a copyright of 1982, not each specific piece of merchandise.
As for the doll, I look forward to seeing pictures of yours. My only question--does his shirt say "Figment" on it? If so, you truly have a rarity. Few plushes from that period (I can't say I've ever seen one), have the Figment text across his chest and the plastic eyes. Get someone to take a picture of it while you're at Epcot on the 1st and have them post it! I'm really curious to see it!
Old:
I was reading one of the posts about the $300 giant figment and I was wondering if anyone knows where to buy one or if it is even possible to find one. Thanks.
they should make a movie with him in it...like now
anything
give him some more popularity
I'm still working on creating an updated website for the photos that I took last summer. One day I will actually finish! :lol: Of course, it's taken me so long that now *those* photos are outdated as well.
Yeah, I can't wait to see this updated "Shrine". Even as I keep building my collection, there are a lot of things I'll probably never have because they rarely appear on eBay, and when they do, other collectors are willing to shell out a lot more than me. I just wish I could've purchased all this stuff when it was first available--and much cheaper!
I just wanted to share what I came across at my church flea market this morning. I remembered this thread (I loved looking at all of your stuff!) and thought you'd enjoy this. I haven't polished it yet---I was too excited to post it. I paid a whooping .25 cents for this. Yes....just a quarter....lol.C'mon...no one else has any Figment merchandise they want to share?

A close up of the spoon part
The middle of it had figment wrapped around it
and the old epcot logo was the top
The back says C 1982 Walt Disney Productions. But I now know that anything with Figment on it says 1982, so I don't really know when this was made. I still love it and can't wait to display it in my Disney shrine....
Enjoy!
but the difference is that this Figgy is slightly larger, has "Figment" on his shirt, has "Walt Disney Characters" on the tag (instead of "Figment" or DL/WDW), and has plastic eyes instead of felt eyes. I believe it's the only version that was made in the USA, and is the largest one available in 1982 (yes, this one actually IS from 1982!). Maybe later I will take pictures of it.
I have the other version of Figment you described. He doesn't have Figment written on his shirt, felt eyes and the tag says Figment with Walt Disney World below that. I have been trying to figure out how old he is for awhile now do you have any idea? My parents can't remember when we got him all they can remember is me crying and yelling for him until they went back and got him for me.
If he's about 10" tall, I believe he's from around 1984-1990. (This version was out for about five years). Although I'm not really sure, so don't take my word for the gospel.
