Figment
Figment is the loveable purple dragon in
Journey into
Imagination at Epcot, he can also
be found in a couple of educational
films in the 80's with Alice and
Peter Pan. He is very childlike,
optimistic, and can be a bit
mischievous. His place of residence is
Dreamport, and he has become the mascot
of the Imagination Pavilion.
It isn't believed that Figment has any
family. He only has his sidekick on the
attraction current Doctor Nigel
Channing, who isn't so keen on Figment
until the end of the attraction, he
warms up to him, and his old sidekick
Dreamfinder from his original
attraction.
Figment has had a variety of outfits during his Journey Into
Imagination with Dreamfinder and Journey Into Imagination with
Figment. He has been dressed as a pirate, a knight, a dancer, a
superhero, a cowboy, a mountain climber and a skunk. He is often
seen wearing a yellow sweatshirt.
Figment has been voiced by two people
the first being
Billy Barty from 1982-2001 and
the other person being
Dave Goelz from 2002-present.
Figment can be found at Epcot in Journey
Into Imagination; he has been retired as
a meet and greet character. Some have
said he still comes out on rare and
special occasions. If you see him make
sure you get a photo.
Figment can also be
found
throughout the parks on merchandise, everything from shirts,
hats, mugs, pins, a vinylmation and lots of other things.
