Join Figment on an expedition into breathtaking wonder and towering imagination! Creativity is a never-ending adventure, and this intrepid, little dragon is the personification of that all-too-human quest to push the boundaries of the possible and discover uncharted territories of magic and dreams. Recreating the memorable moment in “Heights of Imagination” in which Figment scales the summit of a snow-capped peak, this new numbered, limited edition of 500 Walt Disney Classics Collection sculpture captures the daring mountaineer at the apex of his creative powers.
Based on original attraction reference, Figment is hand-crafted of fine porcelain, hand-painted, kiln-fired and provisioned with real rope, metal flag pole and flag, and metallic paint on the pick axe. Sculpted by Bruce Lau with creative direction from Disney Master Artist David Pacheco, Figment stands approximately 8″ high and retails for $150.00, plus tax.

I love Figment merchandise and have a number of these classics, but is it just me or does his face not look right in this one?
Who is Figment? Sorry if that is a stupid question but I have never seen Figment before. What movie was he from? Someone please tell me where I can find out more about him.
