WALT DISNEY WORLD - Figment Animatronic Character Skin from EPCOT's Journey Into Imagination - Figment animatronic character skin from EPCOT's Journey Into Imagination in Walt Disney World Resort. The first iteration of the attraction was open from 1983 to 1998 and starred Dreamfinder (voiced by Chuck McCann) and a purple dragon named Figment (originally voiced by Billy Barty). It is believed that the piece was initially created for use in the attraction or its video segments, and later used as a color and sculpture reference for an ultimately unmade Dreamfinder television series.

This lot consists of the cast vinyl skin for the upper body of a Figment figure, hand-painted purple and pink with brown horns and yellow eyes. The flexibility of the hollow vinyl skin would have allowed for puppeteering, either by hand or audio animatronics. Also included are a wooden display base and a Certificate of Authenticity from Van Eaton Galleries. The skin exhibits discoloration and paint chipping, with tearing around the underarms and where the horns connect. Dimensions: 9" x 9" x 20" (23 cm x 23 cm x 51 cm)

Estimate: $20,000 - 40,000
