***SAVE FIGMENT***

[FettFan]

According to the folks at Blog Mickey, Figment be getting a redesign, and a look at the new model was featured on The Disney+ series “One Day At Disney”.

If this is actually true, it might be the final tipping point to prevent me from ever visiting WDW again. That’s the point where I’m just DONE.

I’d rather see Figment scrapped altogether instead of being given such a drastic redesign.

Honestly, any update is probably better than what they have there now.

Apparently those Figment models was used for a VR test.

However Drew Tailor did share this tweet much later.

If I had a dollar for every time someone said “this is the tipping point for me”

At least this means they're bringing him back (as opposed to the lip service he's getting now). Let's worry about Dreamfinder!

I don’t think they’re actually going with any of the design variations. The sculpture that looks like traditional Figment was the newest one, prominently featured from the beginning of the short, and shown in progress being made by the artist, which indicates to me that the final ruling of feedback was that Figment shouldn’t be redesigned. You hear the artist and VP talking about the designs, and referring to meetings with both Parks reps and the filmmakers.

With the combination of boneheaded corporate decisions and insane price increases, Im increasingly thinking I’d be much happier spending a couple of weeks touring Europe instead of five days at WDW.

When they let us back in that is.

By the way that figment model is horrible.

Good grief. Not another tipping thread

Does pokemon know that Disney is copying Dragonite?

I'm guessing the updated Figment and the Inside Out thing are for the Play Pavilion.

Anyone who solely goes to Disney is whack anyways.

They ruined figment decades ago, why are you just now at the "tipping point".

How much are we supposed to tip CMs on this ride?

They’re making him look more like Yoshi to compete with the Mario Land at Universal

He looks more like one of the moomins than Yoshi.

so who's gonna make the petition?

 

[AndyS2992]

The ride is atrocious so I'll take any improvements at this point

This would be better with pencil and paper. But you get the point.

Figment looks kind of ugly in my opinion and could use a redesign. A redesign, if anything, signals that some folks are interested in extending the character’s appeal rather than letting him die out through nostalgia. And that should be looked upon positively.
