EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[Zak and Wheezie]

I know & have spoken to the guy you’re talking about aswell, sweet guy, but yeah, me three when it comes to that, as someone else who’s located in Cali that became a huge fan & collector similarly, my coming across videos of the original 83-98 attraction and my love growing there. As I’ve stated before, our demographic is actually much larger than I think some folks tend to give credit to. We are a BIG reason Figment, Dreamfinder, and Journey Into Imagination still get lots of love & attention.

To this day, I have never been to Disneyland/California Adventure; i'm on the opposite side of the country (Georgia). While Disney World is also quite far from where I live (7 hour drive), the road trip isn't long enough that we would ever wanted to fly. I only flew once in my April 2024 visit; however I was terrified during takeoff and decided "yeah, that's the last time i'm flying!"

There are quite a few attractions I wish I could see from Disneyland, but not really any that made me want to go to Disneyland over WDW.

How popular is Figment? Well when I first went in 1976, bought my fiancee a Figment doll. In the early 80's, my now wife bought a Figment doll for our daughter. In 2010, I bought my grand daughter a Figment doll. Three generations and still going strong.

Figment didn't really exist in 1976. EPCOT didn't open until 1982 and JII didn't until March 3, 1983 (or March 5, not sure which)

FWIW I'm in my 40's and still have my Figment doll from the 80's.

Figment is really more of a Gen X/first-half Millennial thing really. At least the original ride; I do love the original, but I obviously never rode it as it closed four years before I was born.

March 3rd was possibly an early cast preview opening date, but it officially opened to the public on the 5th.

We're on year four of them releasing Figment popcorn buckets, and even though this year's is kinda boring imo it's still popular enough to warrant a virtual queue with long waits even after you're called to pickup. Figment has been on pretty much all of the festival merchandise for at least five years now. I don't know that the ride is particularly popular, but the character sure is.

 

[Nobody nobody]

Figment definitely is popular again. He’s probably on the road to being “a part” of wdw to the gp like some of the other famous rides or things there. (Though I may be biased). Most people in the gp I’ve asked about figments meteoric rise in popularity these past few years have just said to me “oh he’s figment, he’s always been there”

But with how much merch he moves, it’s funny how Disney tried to assasinate him
In the 90s

Kodak tried to assassinate him, Disney was just the one carrying out the mission after they were paid to.

And you'd think they would have utilized using the Kitchen Kabaret or Food Rocks characters during the Food And Wine Festival..And the only time they did was in 2003 for a small carnival section for families.

The other closest time was a few years back they had these toon looking food on the entry sign but I don't think there was a bunch of merch..

I think it's Disney who kept pressuring them to do that; Kodak were forced to despite not being in the right financial situation to fund the refurb.

Stay awake brothers and sisters, for one day the dreamfinder will rise again in his glory, and he will SMITE the unbelieving institute and the false prophet Channing, and his kingdom of imagination will have NO END!

Our God is a purple God
Joy sparks from heaven above,
Imagination and love,
Our God is a purple God

Actually, Dreamfinder is god, and Figment is Jesus. He was sent down to earth to spread the word about the wonderous things Imagination can do.

Dr. Nigel Channing is actually the creation of Satan (The Singular) who was reformed by Figment's words.

Ok, we're getting weird again.
