Just have been seeing a few sites mentioning this...I was happy to hear that they will be bringing a Figment Topiary for the F&G Festival..http://altdisneyworld.blogspot.com/2016/11/new-topiaries-dining-packages.html

From the Altdisneyworld blogspot..
Here are some highlights of the new things to expect:

Disney will debut a 6-foot-tall topiary of Figment, the dragon mascot of the park’s Imagination! pavilion, perched atop a 5-foot-diameter ball fashioned from yellow Joseph’s Coat.

• The Epcot front-entrance topiary garden will be inspired by a vintage Walt Disney short film where with floral-festooned maypole featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Daisy and Pluto.

• The new generation of princess topiaries which are created with topiary facial features will now include Belle. Located outside the France pavilion with the Beast topiary, Belle will come to life with sculpted facial features and her yellow ball gown created with golden blooming Joseph’s Coat plants, according to a Disney news release. Previously Snow White, Anna and Elsa had detailed facial features on the topiaries.

• Two Outdoor Kitchens will be aded to the 13 already being offering. No specific details have been released yet on what they will be.

• The Garden Rocks concert series will expand to four days each week, with three concerts each Friday through Monday.

• There will be a new Garden Rocks Dining Package.

• The play gardens will be revamped to to become a “Cars”-themed garden introducing a new character topiary from the June 2017 release of “Cars 3.”

• Music Garden Melodies play area will return with new garden and topiary elements.

• The Festival Center will extend operating hours from Wednesday, March 1 through Sunday, March 5. Throughout the rest of the festival, the center will be open each Friday through Sunday with gardening seminars and DIY workshops.

• A garden featuring on edible flowers and plants that benefit health and healing will be on display on the way to the new Soarin’ Around the World film at the Soarin ’attraction in The Land pavilion.

Just glad to hear they are Finally getting the Purple Dragon some recognition into the parks including the festival as previously shown in the Merchandise during F&W Festival...But, seeing a new Topiary since his old one was removed from the dancing water garden...This will be great to see!

This made me laugh and groan at the same time.

It wasn't a very pleasant noise.

We call that a hork in my house. I made the exact same awful sound and then laughed about it.

Wish the topiary was spinning like the original one from the original version of the Pavilion.

That's the funniest after/before I've seen yet. The first one looks like it caught a disease along the way.

All personal opinion - I'm not necessarily right, no one else is necessarily wrong.

You have GOT to be kidding me. Figment? The most NEGLECTED attraction at EPCOT? Shame on you. FIX it - THEN crow about it.

Again, all personal opinion - I'm not necessarily right, no one else is necessarily wrong.

UPDATE: according to the site that shall not be spoken of the topiary of figment is now up behind the SSE VIP lounge in innoventions Plaza. And it is much bigger than the previous one that sat in the fountain area. Shame they don't put another one by the Pavilion he represents...

Are there pictures? And since they made a topiary of Figment, does this mean that Imagination will get attention as part of the big Epcot refirb?

Figment was featured in the 2016 Flower and Garden Merch.
Looks like they are "peppering in" Figment when they can - maybe a sign of things to come???
