When someone reminds me that Disney still hasn’t released their plans to update Journey Into Imagination and give Figment the incredible attraction he deserves:

The reason I love Sunny Eclipse so much is that he reminds us that even in the future—even in space—we will still need music, laughter and love. He’s proof that this idea of the future is one that we’d all actually want to live in.

Wouldn’t it be cool if Disney sold a Sunny Eclipse vinyl figure right next to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café, at Star Traders? It would be so cool to bring home Tomorrowland’s resident musician from Yew Nork City on Planet Zork with his Astro Organ!

Prompt created by me, generated via ChatGPT 4o:

…figure is visible from head to toe with no base or platform, standing on a neutral ground. The background is plain and softly lit in monochrome tones, emphasizing the nostalgic, black-and-white aesthetic.

Prompt:
A grayscale Funko Pop! vinyl collectible figure of Walt Disney feeding a bird, inspired by a vintage photograph. Walt is shown standing in full view, turned slightly sideways, with his left arm extended forward and a pigeon perched on his hand. In his right hand, he holds a small paper cone…

“Feed the birds, tuppence a bag…” 🐦

Here is a mock-up Funko Pop! figure I made that is inspired by a picture of Walt.

…José is perched on a circular gold hanging swing labeled “José,” with tropical foliage, a pineapple, and a pink hibiscus flower on a bamboo-patterned base. The design should be cute, stylized, and detailed like a real Funko Pop collectible.

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

Prompt:

A Funko Pop! vinyl collectible figure of Walt Disney standing beside José the parrot from Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room. Walt is wearing a gray suit with a blue tie and smiling as he gestures toward the bird.…

Visual Style:
• Maintain high visual fidelity in textures: warm wood tones, soft carpet, crisp paper edges, reflective glass, brushed metal, and leather.
• The composition should feel like a high-end collectible box scene, rich with historical references and period-accurate detailing.

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

Lighting and Tone:
• Lighting is warm and natural, evoking nostalgia and optimism.
• The entire scene is framed by rich, dark blue velvet curtains, mimicking the look of a stage presentation.

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

• To the right of Walt is a wide window framed in goldenrod-colored curtains, revealing a daytime view of the Disney Studios backlot, with sound stages and a water tower visible in the distance.

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

• Beneath the freeway map, include a small black-and-white portrait of President Abraham Lincoln, showing him standing near a chair on a stage (referencing Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln). This should be a real-world portrait style, not a Funko version.

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

Behind Walt:
• The wall behind Walt features several important mounted visuals:
• A large black-and-white aerial photograph of Disneyland as the central visual focus on the wall.
• To its left, a smaller freeway infrastructure planning map of the Anaheim/Southern California area.

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

• The far-right side of the desk includes a mid-century lamp with a white shade.
• Beneath the window is a row of four horizontal file cubbies, neatly filled with papers.
• In the bottom-right cubby, place a brown leather duffel bag with a central buckle.

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

Scene Details:
• The desk is mid-century wooden style, with a single Grumman Gulfstream I model airplane on the left side, featuring a blue accent stripe.
• Beneath the plane, on the side of the desk, is a shelf with neatly stacked books (no photos or drawers).

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

The base of the collectible is styled as follows:
• A black outer frame with white text on the front reading “WALT DISNEY A MAGICAL LIFE.”
• The top of the base, where Walt stands, is covered in a white or beige carpet, resembling an office floor.

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

…a grayish-blue mid-century suit, a white shirt, and a dark green tie, standing in a confident but relaxed pose beside a long wooden desk. His figure is center-right, occupying about one-third of the frame.

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

Prompt:

Create a 16:9 Funko Pop! collectible diorama of Walt Disney, designed in a theatrical presentation style. Walt should appear as a chibi-style Funko Pop! vinyl figure, with slicked-back dark hair (with some gray at the temples), a neatly groomed black mustache, and thick eyebrows. He wears…

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

Wouldn’t this be an awesome Funko to bring home from Disneyland?

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

Here is a mock-up Funko Pop! scene I made for “Walt Disney — A Magical Life,” coming to Disneyland Resort this summer for Disneyland’s 70th anniversary celebration

Worked on this prompt with ChatGPT 4o (prompt in comments) and then had to do some final edits in Photoshop.

Thanks! I wish they’d make it so I could buy one! Haha

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

The plaque on the map should read:
DISNEY WORLD — FLORIDA
Master Plot Plan

The base beneath Walt and the map should read:
THE FLORIDA PROJECT
1966

Include waterways from Bay Lake and EPCOT, support campuses between EPCOT and the Entrance Complex, and proper color shading (dark greens for swamp, tan/yellow for developed zones).

6/7

CosmicRewind🚀 @tomorrowventure.bsky.social · Apr 11

• REGIONAL AIRPORT at the bottom with circular terminal and long diagonal runways
• SWAMP around the outer lower and western areas

World Drive should begin at the Theme Park, travel southeast through EPCOT, then continue south past Entrance Complex, and end at the Regional Airport.
