A recent search has shown me that not only does Figment have a voice, but he also plays the foil against Eric Idle (slightly older than his role as Paspartu in Around The World In 80 Days, but younger than his last round of Watney's) in the Journey Into Imagination (with Figment) ride at Walt Disney World's Epcot.
Yup. That's Figment. Here be...mascots.
In watching the video, the veteran humorist (Google thinks it's a word, so I'm not arguing) reacts very well with the animated Figment - to the point where one cannot help but being reminded of Mr. DNA:
But Figment isn't just a perky yet informative character. No sir. Figment has an entire range of emotions:
This is Figment when he is confused.
This is Figment feeling lonely.
Here is an angry Figment.
Why? BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO EMOTIONALLY DEAD TO READ THE SUBTLETIES OF HIS EXPRESSIVE NATURE!
These are part of the Figment Expressions Set, and each has a Hidden Mickey. They were released in 2008, and, if you do further research, you'll discover that there were at least two series of pins with Figment showing various emotions.
In short, Figment is infinite. One cannot know the whole of Figment, but one can know aspects of Figment. Figment, Most Confused. Figment, Most Lonely. Figment, Most Angry.
I think Figment, Most Merciful is the completer pin - so if anyone has that one, please drop me a line.
Special thanks to PinPics.com for this enlightening journey in letting Figment into my soul.
