Figment Meet & Greet??

[WDWprincessloyola]

Does anyone know if Figment still comes out for meet and greets???

I haven't been to WDW in two years so I was wondering if he is still around.

gone

When and why did that happen?

I can guess it may have done with the lack of popularity?

 

[bradk]

a long, long time ago.. not even sure when... i'm thinking '07?

couldn't say why. but being in demand wasn't a problem for him, that much is true. although his spot was well hidden.

There were many complaints about "Figzilla". He was way off model and not to scale. And he kept hitting small children with his tail when he turned around.

Yep...I could see that. There wouldn't be that problem if Dreamfinder was still around

Actually, I went to WDW in Dec. '07 and he was there. Only character i took a pic wth the whole trip! I'd waited 18(ish) years to meet Figgie!


I thought I'd heard he got taken out later in '08 and the rumor I'd heard was concerning "fixing" the scale, due to the reappearance of an old friend..

but don't quote me on that.

I think it was March 2008 that the Figment Meet and Greet was retired. I was not even aware that it existed until November 2007. Figment is my all time favourite character and I was so excited to see this. Unfortunately he was on break when I spotted this. This was my last day at WDW on that vacation and I had leave Epcot early to go over to Saratoga Springs to sign our DVC paperwork. As it was the Thanksgiving weekend and the park was packed, I did not go back after we were finished there, but promised myself that this would be the first thing I would do on my next WDW vacation. Shortly afterwards, I read on here that they were stopping this Meet and Greet in March. I was so disappointed. I would love to have a photo with Figment and me.

Not disagreeing that this is true, but I've got to say
that Figgie was far from being alone in that regard...


Hewey, Dewey, & Lewie
Seven Dwarfs
Jiminy Cricket
Pluto
Chip & Dale
Piglet
Tinker Bell (although the Pixie Hollow "story" attempts to explain that)

Have to be more, but you get the idea.

In November last year we actually saw dream finder with a "to scale" figment. We were surprised at the fact that he hasn't been there in forever. It was even more pleasant because the last pic Ive seen of him was taken in 2002...

I have a picture from 1990 of me with the Dreamfinder. He was holding figment in his arms. I wish they would do that again. Does anyone else have a picture of this?

 

[MapleGirl]

I much prefer this:

to this:

The Figzilla is just scary.

 

[bradk]

case-in-point on scale:

at least figment has a plausible excuse to shrink and grow - he's a figment.

I asked a CM about this when we went in '07 and he said they had discontinued the meet n greet with him. So sad The area was still there. The CM mentioned that everyone should write to Disney to bring him back b/c it was his favorite characters too.

i prefer "Figzilla"
Deamfinder was always a little creepy

Though i admit every time i see him it think
"dreamfinder should have a hummm a green beard"
I miss the old play place

March 15, 2008 was the last day that Figment's Place was open.

We got our pictures made with Figment December 2007. He was gone when we went this past April.
