''Figment'' is a comic book published under Creator/{{Marvel}}'s ComicBook/DisneyKingdoms imprint, based on the original incarnation of ''Ride/JourneyIntoImagination'', it details the the origin story to Epcot's beloved characters Dreamfinder and Figment.

Originally known as Blarion Mercurial, the story of the Dreamfinder begins at the Scientifica Lucida, a science academy in Edwardian London. When experimenting with a device that brings thought into form, he brings Figment to life from childhood memories. Wanting to tap into the power of the imagination further, the two end up creating a portal to an alternate realm, taking their first journey into imagination. While they are gone however, something emerges from the portal in the form of a sinister robot known as The Singular, who plots to bring absolute order to London and the rest of Earth with his Clockwork Control armies.

''Figment'' was enough of a breakout hit that it received a sequel series, ''Figment 2: Legacy of Imagination'', running September 2015-January 2016. Picking up where the first story left off, Figment and Dreamfinder find themselves at the Academy's new Florida campus about a century after their original adventure. Besides having to adapt to the modern world, the duo are confronted with quite the legacy they have left behind on the academy. Soon a new threat emerges from Dreamfinder's doubts of his own relevance: A shadowy nightmare known as the Doubtfinder. Figment's left on his own to go find help in the form of a young girl inventor and Dreamfinder's great-great-great grandniece: Capri. Now they must brave the twisted academy and exorcise the Doubtfinder before things get much worse.
----
!!The comics contain the following the following tropes:

[[folder:Tropes found in Figment]]
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Downplayed for Figment. He mostly acts like he does in the original Journey Into Imagination ride but has a few traits from its third incarnation's version of him, mainly a sharp wit.
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: How the Sound Sprites talk. Anything that doesn't speak in that matter is deemed cacophonic.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Fye's plotline revolves around this. He's considered "defective", so instead of creating music with his wings, he creates a loud buzzing that ''breaks'' things. He's been isolated and imprisoned for creating "bad audio", and is concerned he won't fit in with the others of his kind. [[spoiler: His "defect" comes in handy in the final battle.]]
* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: What happened to Blair's father is never revealed due to him being unmentioned as well as unseen.
* AnAesop: Trying means you might fail, and that's scary, but not trying at all means you'll never succeed. You have the power within yourself to create and achieve, even if you don't know it yet.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Figment has the curiousity and attention span of a young child, much like in the original ride.
* BreakoutHit: Thanks to the nostalgic love for the original attraction on the internet, it has become enough of a best-seller to surprise even Bob Iger and gain a sequel series.
* CyberCyclops: The Singular.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Blair wears glasses until becoming the Dreamfinder. In the original Journey Into Imagination ride, he can see just fine.
* DisappearedDad: Blair's father hence why Blair himself is the one working to support the rest of the Mercurial family.
* DownTheRabbitHole: The Mesmonic Convertor's dimensional portal, which drops Dreamfinder and Figment far above the imaginary realm.
* EldritchLocation: The Nightmare Nation is a swirling mass of creatures speaking with a VoiceOfTheLegion. It seems to be the anthropomorphic representation of despair, depression, and art block.
* ExtremeOmnivore: The Chimera loves eating metal.
* TheFairFolk: Sound Sprites are a band of fairies that create things from sound and imprison anything that does not follow their sense of harmony.
* TheGlassesComeOff: What happens when Blarion finally makes the realization that turns him into Dreamfinder. He also has a ''literal'' GrowingTheBeard moment.
* TheGogglesDoNothing: The goggles on top of his head are (seemingly) just for show.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: The goggles on Blair's Mesmonic Converter can bring dreams to life.
* HurricaneOfPuns: A ''literal'' brainstorm, musical creatures imprisoning our heroes in the "bass-ment"...Blarion, as our StraightMan, groans at these, but the rest of his cast likes to make them.
* ImaginaryFriend: Figment was a character Blair came up with as a child, but didn't recognize the memory of at first.
* MamasBoy: Blair's motivation for working at the Scientifica Lucida is to send money back to his impoverished mother and younger siblings. He also gets very upset when Chimera tries to eat his pocket watch, because it was a gift from his mother.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: One of the brief flashbacks in the first issue shows that Blair has 3 brothers and 2 sisters.
* MixAndMatchCreatures: Figment has the horns of a steer and the snout of a crocodile, among other things.
** Chimera has the body of a dog, multiple sets of legs, back spines, wings, is ''bright pink'', and is at least the size of a large bear.
* MST3KMantra: How does Blair's machine work? Why does it open portals to other universes? As Figment puts it: "Mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter!"
* MythologyGag: The zeppelin from the ride makes a cameo towards the very end.
** The characters, particularly Figment, [[{{WaxingLyrical}} quote "One Little Spark"]], the Sherman Brothers-penned music from the original ride. Fans of ''Journey Into Imagination'' will most likely have it stuck in their head by the time they finish reading.
** The Nightmare Nation is based on the original ride's Literature realm, with Blair landing on a book labeled "Tales of Terror".
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Chimera, the only major female character, is pink, while Fye, the {{Bishounen}} Sound Sprite, is blue.
* {{Prequel}}: ''Figment'' is focused around Dreamfinder's younger days.
* SharpDressedMan: Blarion Mercurial, as in the original ride.
* ShoulderSizedDragon / ShoulderPet: Figment perches this way on the cover of Issue #1.
* ShoutOut: [[WesternAnimation/DonaldInMathmagicLand Mathmagic Land]] gets a shoutout in ''Figment #3'' as one of the other locations in the Imaginary realm.
** In this same scene, [[Series/WaltDisneyPresents the Color Wheel]] gets mentioned.
** The Singular describes Dreamfinder as an "Imagineer" when seeing his talent for creating imaginary portals.
** The ending finds Dreamfinder and Figment sailing off to the strange land of [[spoiler: EPCOT, where the "Journey To Imagination" ride is placed. Spaceship Earth (aka "The Golf Ball") is even seen in the distance.]]
* SignatureHeadgear: Blair's requisite top hat with goggles.
* {{Steampunk}}: Part of the aesthetic of ''Figment'', inspired by the ride's Dreamcatcher vehicle.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Dreamfinder and Figment.
* TheEdwardianEra: Setting of ''Figment''.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: Blair wears one.
* TheWonderland: The Imaginary realm.
* YourMindMakesItReal: Blair realizing this lets him and his friends escape from the Sound Sprites' prison.
* ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld: Somewhat literal when Dreamfinder creates a portal to jump into and create the attraction's iconic flying machine.

[[folder:Tropes found in Figment 2: Legacy of Imagination]]

* AccidentalTimeTravel: In the first issue, Dreamfinder and Figment realize that they have done this after talking to Fye for the first time in a little over a century.
* AlliterativeName: As seen in a signature at the end of Capri's rejection letter in the third issue, the Academy's current chairman is named Austin Auckley.
* AlwaysWithYou: Before leaving at the end of the final issue, Dreamfinder tells Capri that he and Figment will always be with her in her dreams.
* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: As was the case with her 3 times great-grand-uncle's father, Capri's father is never mentioned in addition to not being seen, leaving the reason for his absence unknown.
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Capri and Figment's journey to free the Dreamfinder has them helping Dreamfinder at different ages against twisted memories of his past.
* BigNo: [[spoiler:The Doubtfinder does this just before it is destroyed for good.]]
* BlowingARaspberry: In the final issue, Figment does this after getting the Mesmonic Converter away from a possessed student only to run into a possessed Chairman Auckley.
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:Dreamfinder turns down an offer to become a professor at the Academy as he and Figment still have adventures to go on before settling down, including finding the lost Spaceship Earth.]]
* CoolOldGuy: Fye has become one of these.
* DemonicPossession: The Doubtfinder possessing Dreamfinder and controlling the staff and students of the school.
* EnemyWithin: The Doubtfinder starts as a nightmare parasiting itself on Dreamfinder's fear and self-doubt until emerging in a failed presentation and possessing Dreamfinder when he attempts to trap him.
* {{Expy}}: Chairman Auckley is one for Dr. Channing in the sense of being too much of a stickler for rules and control but loosening up at the end.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Dreamfinder and Figment. Dreamfinder's trouble adapting sets the story's conflict into motion.
* FollowingInRelativesFootsteps: Capri wants to be an inventor like her great-great-great-granduncle hence her efforts to apply to the Academy despite being too young to attend.
* GadgeteerGenius: Capri
* GoodParents: Jess is this to Capri, scolding her for ruining a dress due to an experiment but encouraging her to pursue her dream of attending the Academy.
* ImaginaryFriend: Capri brings her imaginary friend Spark the flying cat to life with the mesmonic converter to help her and Figment save Dreamfinder and the Academy Scientifica Lucidus from Doubt. In the final issue [[spoiler: the destruction of the mesmonic converter brings to life imaginary friends belonging to the Academy's students and staff (and Capri's mom Jess)]].
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Figment, Capri and Spark tear open a portal into the Doubtfinder and enter to free Dreamfinder from him.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Capri's quick to act on helping Figment save Dreamfinder and the Academy.
* KeepAway: In the final issue, Dreamfinder, Capri, Figment, and Spark wind up using this as a tactic to keep the Mesmonic Converter away from Doubt and those still under its control.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: To a Disney Parks fan, it certainly feels like Dreamfinder has been gone from Epcot for a hundred years.
* MissingChild: At the beginning of the final issue, Jess discovers that Capri has snuck out and left a note giving an unbelievable explanation as to why. She drives to the Academy Scientifica Lucidus to see what is going on for herself due to worrying about her daughter.

** A ShoutOut to ''Film/TheAbsentMindedProfessor''/''Film/{{Flubber}}'' 's Dr. Brainard doubles as a nod to the modern attraction's Imagination Institute setting incorporating the Robin Williams version into its mythology.
** One of the lecture halls is named the [[Music/TheShermanBrothers Sherman]] Auditorium

* TeenGenius: Capri. Only thing keeping her from admission to the Academy Scientifica Lucidus is her age (13 years old according to WordOfGod). [[spoiler: This changes at the end of the story, as Chairman Auckley decides to make an exception and allow Capri to attend starting the following semester as a reward for saving everyone from the Doubtfinder.]]
