Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[Tha Realest]

The history of sitcoms demonstrates, by and large, that when you take a standout character out of their natural grouping or ensemble and showcase them individually, it doesn’t feel the same.

As Baxter explained time and time again, Figment and Dreamfinder are a classic comedy duo. Splitting them up makes no sense, as we’ve seen for a few decades now.

Will they ever understand that and bring them back together? Will they ever actually give us a good, revitalized and spectacular Imagination Pavilion? Signs don't look good....especially with talks of changing it to another IP and more meet and greet space. It's kind of a dark time in Disney theme park history....

 

[Thelazer]

To bring it back, you'd have to have folks at all levels of management willing to step outside the box. That's sadly not happening right now.

Did anyone see this cast member pin that supposedly came out last month at Shanghai?

Even if just for cast members, this is very intriguing to see any push or presence for the character outside the states

My confidence in hearing anything JII related is waning, especially after hearing the news that "many" of the announcements will be DLR-related. That does not leave much room for wild card stuff, i.e., JII. Hopefully I'm proven wrong, but I'm prepared for another D23 to come and go with no material attention paid to this ride. It's a shame.

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

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.

 

[Sneaky]

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.

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