Figment Figure Removed From Creations Shop
When the Creations Shop opened at EPCOT in the summer of 2021, there was a lot of talk about the shop’s sleek design and use of light and color.
When hyping up the new store however, the piece that was highlighted most was the Mouse in Motion. This Mickey mural celebrated Disney’s favorite mouse, who had become an icon for generations around the world.
A Blast From the Past
If you are an EPCOT Center fan like me however, the true centerpiece of the Creations Shop didn’t come until after the shop opened. In 2022, an original Figment figure from Journey Into Imagination was installed near the back entrance of the store.
This figure was dressed up for the Flower and Garden festival, but there was no doubt that it was the purple dragon that had once enthralled millions of guest with his old pal Dreamfinder.
Every time I have subsequently visited the Creations shop I always look for Figment and point him out- until today!
Today when visiting the Creations Shop, we noticed that Figment had gone missing! Dun dun dun…
Here is a look at the last known place we saw the little purple dragon.
Now before we put out an APB, or join together to create a task force, everyone just take a deep breath.
With the Festival of Arts about to be upon us, it seems like that Figment is simply off getting ready. After all, Figment has been teaching us about the power of art since 1982!
While it will be a little strange visiting the Creations Shop and not seeing Figment, I can’t wait to what the dragon looks like when he comes back!
While we wait, here is a look at Figment’s Food and Wine Festival look from last year. That guy sure knows how to celebrate!
Festival of Arts
For those of you who don’t know, the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is a five week celebration. From new foods to show stopping performances, this celebration has it all. The Festival of the arts will run at EPCOT from January 13 through February 20th. So, be sure to visit EPCOT soon!
