Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

When's the last time they used the Institute in any Figment marketing or tie-in material?
The references & some of Figmentā€™s dialogue in Disney Speedstorm and some of the newest merch celebrating the 20th anniversary of Journey Into Imagination With Figment (why anyone would wanna celebrate that deservedly panned, sham of an attraction masquerading as a faithful/comeback of the original spirit/character/ride when itā€™s a really the same panned Honey I Shrunk IP ride (shadily titled Journey Into ^Your Imagination) with Figment shoehorned in carelessly and without respecting the attraction & role/portrayal he had originally is beyond me but it is what it is)

Also some of the recent DisneyRun events make direct references to the Friends of Figmentā€™s Upside Down house scene of the 02-current ride.

Honesty a scene for scene picture book treatment of the original rideā€™s story beats would be amazing visually.

I read somewhere that the writing in the book will be the lyrics to One Little Spark.
There was a fan treatment of a book someone posted years ago, with Dreamfinder and all, but I never saw anything official and still canā€™t atm. If there is thought, please post or tell us the source here. Thanks

Yes, but no Eric Idle or his dumb winged lightbulb logo. Speedstorm was going to pull from the current ride anyways since there's only about 20 minutes of total significant material (the original and current rides) for Figment to pull from. Educational films don't count.

I finally found the Figment Golden Book, listed on Amazon. Weirdly no author listed, nor any cover photo. Unlike Disney Golden Books of the pastā€¦ Just gonna put it out thereā€¦ ā€˜notā€™ a fan of the fact Dreamfinder isnā€™t mentioned at allā€¦ I pray heā€™s actually in this book and that itā€™s not going for either an adaptation of the current, horrible Honey, I Shrunk IP-ified attraction ā€˜orā€™ yet another total reimagining altogether. ā€˜Ifā€™ Infact itā€™s what I mentioned above (aka: they end up doing it wrong); Talk about missing the point altogether, the original 83-98 ride/characterization/role/storyline was perfect as-is. :

So is ā€˜thatā€™ the ā€œFigment meet n greetā€ theyā€™re planning for this summer? Ooh boy.. lol! Well if thatā€™s the case, what a failā€¦
How could you ā€˜notā€™ do the classic Dreamfinder with Figment? ā€˜Especiallyā€™ after their reception/reaction at ā€˜2ā€™ D23 Expo appearances. If not that, at the very ā€˜leastā€™ Iā€™d expect the single large Figment they had in 04 and for a few years after that, considering the iteration of the ride thatā€™s still (sadly) operating. If they canā€™t even do that, thatā€™s just pathetic, Iā€™m sorry. For the original character and ride thatā€™s ā€˜thatā€™ beloved and sells as much merch as he does. No way is that acceptableā€¦

You're dooming and glooming over a children's picture book that doesn't even have a cover yet, calm down.

Kids deserve good contentā€¦ I also think with a character in such a vulnerable state, itā€™s important they get even smaller pieces of media correct, especially considering this book will be sold all around the USA . It contributes to the bigger picture. Orange Birdā€™s book did things right, I just think itā€™s weird Dreamfinder wouldnā€™t be mentioned at all. I mean, even Speedstorm has him in. But hey, you never know, maybe he is, and in that case, great!

This isn't related to that, this is a limited AP exclusive "PhotoPass Opportunity" with props(might include the large Figment statue holding a light bulb seen in some runDisney races?) for the V.I.Passholder Days event.

Okay, Thank God. For a moment I was like.. no way, they canā€™t be ā€˜thatā€™ clueless. Lol! Good to know we still have a substantial meet n greet to look forward to

New D23 Gold Member exclusive LE: 1,500 Journey Into Imagination 40th Anniversary pin featuring Dreamfinder & Figment will be available on May 30th on ShopDisney at 8am PT / 11am ET. A little confused why this wasnā€™t released back in March, but, hey, better late than never, right?
(PS: Disney, the fan-favorite ā€˜83-98 attraction is simply called ā€˜Journey Into Imaginationā€™ (little to nobody likes the 02-current, Honey I Shrunk IP-ified ā€˜Journey Into Imagination ā€œWith Figmentā€ā€™) :

Say what you want, but the pins department has been killing it recently. If figment and dreamfinder are going to be relegated to merch, at least it looks good.

Might have to add this one to my collection. šŸ¤”
