Spotlight on Justin Marshall's Epcot Monorail

We have featured Justin many times before, and I love his take on Epcot history. He now has a new custom up for sale.

I have a love for Epcot that ironically is built on nostalgia. Epcot itself is a park built around the future. Many know my previous works involving themes from Journey into Imagination, but I also like the Disney monorail system. My Favorite color is green, and monorail lime rides passengers from the Magic Kingdom to Epcot. So with the combination of that I wanted to create one where Figment was at the helm. The back is inspired from retro merchandise that was sold in the 1980's through the early 90's. The vinyl in the photo isn't glossed to avoid glare from lighting, but will get a gloss coat to give it a automobile look. Hope you like this vinyl based on past and future and stay tuned for more customs to surface, Thanks - JCHAD

Artist Justin Marshall has sent us a new custom.

He told me how he used a glue gun then painted over it to get an actual texture to the design.

Spotlight On: Custom Vinylmation Artist Justin Marshall

As a child, my favorite Disney characters were Dreamfinder and Figment. I loved the EPCOT attraction as it originally was. It was a delight for kids and adults alike. So when custom artist Justin Marshall came to us with a Journey Into Imagination custom, I could not wait to share it with everyone.

Destination Vinylmation: What does Journey Into Imagination mean to you?

Justin: I have always loved journey into imagination. It really shows the magnitude of figments popularity because this is a character that is spawned from a EPCOT attraction, and no where else, yet after all these years seems to be just getting stronger and stronger in popularity. Now that the original ride is gone makes it even stronger for that demand for figment, and the Dreamfinder. It was a experience for all ages that brought you through the arts, literature, performing arts, and science. For a time where no one owned a computer, the technology was amazing. They can bring back the exact same ride, substitute a few things with 21st century advantages and you will have a hit!

DV: So you're not a big fan of the current version of the ride?
Justin: The ride now is... half ass done, and its a shame for all the creativity and hard work that went into it and now it sits in crates in a warehouse some where on the Disney property.

DV: I really like the retro feel of this custom. It seems like something you would find at EPCOT in the '80s. But this figure really seems to hold special sentimental value to you.
Justin: I made this to keep the attraction alive, and hopefully the new generation of disney lovers will someday get to experience this attraction the way it was intended with some 21st century tweaks.

But wait, there's more! Justin also wanted us to include these 3" Figments as a compliment to the 9" Journey figure.

This is one great looking Figment! Check out the detail on the space suit. 

Here is Figment in his sweater.

Great job Justin. For more Justin Marshall customs, check out his Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/justinchad82
