New Figment Meet & Greet


The good news is that I didn't see any stories about long waits. The bad news is that all the stories were about Figment tripping as he made it out of the entrance. Twice.
I saw those too. Poor Figgy. I hope the re-evaluate his entrance today, maybe walk slower with a handler in tow?
 
Honestly I think they got Figment all wrong. It should have been a much smaller character. We loved meeting Figment with Dreamfinder back in the day. They made the new Figment as big and clumsy as Barney. Very odd.

Maybe if Disney could get Peter Dinklage under contract to play the character...otherwise they would have to get a very small person to be a "friend" of Figment. When I worked at the World it was usually a very small petite Asian girl who was a friend of Mickey.

I’m assuming waits were long the first day because everyone wanted to be “first”. We haven’t had a new character offering in awhile so people are excited.
 
Why I think this meet and greet became overhyped was simply because I think Epcot is planning some new attraction or new cartoon series with Figment and they wanted to bring back Figment for a new generation of fans. Because the way I see it I've never ever seen so many excited people over a meet and greet with a Disney character as much as I have with Figment. I've seen people get very excited when they meet sports stars and Hollywood celebrities but rarely a Disney character and I can't figure out why they do this? I mean Figment is silent like Black Bolt and only moves his hands and arms for hugs. If Disney had made a talking version of Figment the crowd of people would've gone wild over meeting him. But what I think Figment is mainly there is to promote his anniversary and I can guarantee Epcot will retire him after Christmas or he will be rare to find in Epcot as time goes by
 
Obviously, we'd love to meet Figment... but not one member of my family would be willing to wait 2, 3, or even 5 hours to do so.

Not trying to be creepy, but I remember seeing your family in these outfits at Epcot. I remember thinking that the jerseys were super cool and I loved the Figment leggings!
 
Has anyone been recently? I’d like to know how wait times have been these last few days.
 
Only Disney can take a lousy character like Figment and get people to wait in line 5 hours to see them.
 
My unpopular thought is they should have at least 2 Figments for a M&G. If they are in different rooms, how would anyone even know??
