Figment Buzz.

Over at the Disney parks blog they had posted this article about some new Figment merchandise.  Here are some pictures of the merchandise they are offering!



I am very excited about the ears for sure!!!!  But one interesting thing about the new merchandise is.....DREAMFINDER!  Yup that's him!  Not only has he turned up lately in Disney Parks Blog article but on other sites they released a new Dreamfinder/Figment t-shirt shown here.
Its very big nod to the original attraction even showing magic journeys and the swirly logo.  Not only are these new but mysterious why they are coming out with them when the attraction is so poor and has such low attendance.

To make matters even MORE exciting there was a very recent D23 event where Richard Sherman held a concert of some of his original music done at the park.  One of those songs is "One little spark...."  The uber catchy tune from the original dark ride in the Imagination Pavilion....Take a look.



I have been frantically googling Dreamfinder, and Figment, Epcot rumors etc.....  With Kodak gone from the Imagination Pavilion at Epcot, then Figment AND Dreamfinder merchandise popping up suddenly and then the appearance of Ron Schneider dressed once again as the Dreamfinder live (he did some voice in the attraction, dressed as him on opening day, and some scenes in the live action show thing they had upstairs section of the pavilion) it makes me wonder what is being planned for the Pavilion.  Fans, as I, have been screaming for a refurb to bring this ride to its former glory and bringing back Dreamfinder.  I cant help but wonder if those plans are on the table and these are some sort of mini marketing test.  One thing for sure is I am going to ZAP up all the merchandise of this kind the next time I drive up to Orlando!!!

What do you think?
