Disney Expands Lorcana Game With First Figment Card
The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) and game publisher Ravensburger have officially announced the inclusion of the classic Epcot mascot Figment in the Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game [1][3]. Titled ‘Creative Inspiration,’ the card marks the first time the iconic purple dragon appears in the collectible card game [1][2]. The announcement was made during the Disney Lorcana panel at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event held in mid-August 2026 [3][5]. This move highlights Disney’s continued strategic push to monetize legacy intellectual property across high-margin retail and gaming sectors, tapping into the growing global trading card market [1][5].
Creative Inspiration Card Specifications
The new Figment card features the character holding a wood paint palette and a paintbrush with a streak of rainbow paint behind him [1][2]. Classified as a ‘glimmer’ card, the item includes holographic detailing visible in promotional materials released by Disney Lorcana [2][4]. The card’s main action allows players to draw four cards, aligning with the theme of imagination and creativity [1]. The description reads, ‘Just imagine all the things you’re going to see. Imagination works best when it’s set free!’ [1]. Further details on how to acquire the Creative Inspiration card will be revealed at a later date, maintaining anticipation among collectors [3][5].
2027 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts
The Figment card is scheduled to debut when EPCOT hosts the International Festival of the Arts in 2027 [1][3]. This event marks the return of Disney Lorcana activities to the festival following successful integration in early 2026 [3][5]. The festival is expected to take place in the spring of 2027, though specific dates remain unannounced as of August 16, 2026 [4][5]. Disney Parks Blog has confirmed that more details about the 2027 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will be announced at a later date [1]. This timeline places the release approximately 1 years from the current date [GPT].
Strategic IP Monetization and Future Releases
This announcement underscores Disney’s strategy to leverage high-value legacy characters like Figment, who debuted on March 5, 1983, to drive engagement in modern gaming formats [5]. The card release does not indicate any changes to the existing Journey Into Imagination With Figment attraction at EPCOT [5][6]. Beyond Figment, Disney Lorcana plans to introduce new Collector Booster packs with the debut of Into the Inkdark next year [3]. Additionally, the Cosmic Quest expansion is scheduled to arrive in Q2 2027, following the Hyperia City release [3]. These developments suggest a robust pipeline aimed at sustaining collector interest through 2027 and beyond [3][5].
