Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[DoleWhipDrea]

I'm sorry but... what?

It's a story with multiple tweets, reactions etc...the best breakdown can be found here.

The shortened version is he referred to some fans asking him questions about JIIwF as "morons" and called Figment an "animated little f***er." He's since deleted some of those tweets...I wonder if Disney PR reached out to him because it caused quite a stir, but who knows.

A short time later when everyone was talking about them, Eric Idle joked about buying one of the Figment popcorn buckets to resell for a million dollars.

Some "Spark" huh Nigel......

Give the man a break.

He's been pestered by the public for far too long. I don't agree with his language choices but I'd be tired of it all too if I were in his shoes.

Can someone with MB+ see if the Figment Fab 50 statue and the PLAY! AR of Figment in the app has new dialogue?

Quite an odd model they used for Figment in the PLAY! AR(Photo isn't mine)

Whoever decided on that deserves to be put through Dr. Channing's imagination scanner and laughed at for their poor results.

This person only tried once. From the website that shall not be named, a demonstration back in May shown that each statue has a few different interactions(The Figment statue wasn't enabled yet when they were doing these). Some may play music for one interaction but a voice clip for the next interaction.

I have seen two versions so far of the Rocket statue..One plays a dynamic score and the other one on the video sounding like a Jackson Five medley. I still think we're not going to expect anything except music..

Some very rare behind the scenes footage of the Dreamfinders show in this video at 13:12. It confirms pretty much everything was ready to go before being scrapped (props, costumes, sets, etc).

There has to have been a pilot filmed for this..Figment looked more like a character done by the the same studio who did Pooh Corner and Dumbo's Circus.

SO. FRIGGIN’. AWESOME!!! I’d heard about this show for years and knew some details, but I never knew how elaborate & big budget this project was supposed to be. Amazing! ‘Really’ wish this would’ve made it to full production.

They could do the show now for Disney+

They have to add something to the service besides more Star Wars and Marvel stuff.

Speaking of Marvel, they could turn the Figment marvel comic books into a series.

Why did the Dreamfinders show get scrapped? Do we know?

Apparently because of Eisner shutting down production

[Figments Friend]

I am sure someone with connections to the character or show has a copy of the pilot episode.
Willing to bet money on that.

It will surface eventually, wait n' see.

Someone give a Disney exec a copy of the comic run. Before you know it, after they see the Marvel logo, Dreamfinder will be back in the pavilion.

Iger knew of the comic's existence and success (and was surprised that it did well)...it didn't change anything, unfortunately.

Interesting point about Marvel and Figment, though - Kevin Feige is a fan of our beloved purple dragon. I can't remember where I saw it from, but I saw him talk about Figment in a featurette and the excitement and joy on his face was truly delightful and earnest. I wonder if he's thought about doing more with him in the MCU past his inclusion in Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout, though he probably recognizes that it's a tall order to truly get right.

If I can be completely honest, while there were lots of things that I liked about the comic, I would not want to see a new attraction solely based off of it. A few bits to inspire and add in a few nods? Sure.
