Fox Celebrates 25 Years of The X-Files with New Mulder & Scully Barbie Dolls...

The X-Files has now been around for 25 years, and when it was at its peak, I was a massive fan. I was that back in 1998, I was that guy that had to have The X-Files Movie on “letterbox” VHS to preserve the widescreen cinematic format in the time before DVD and flat screen TVs. At that same time, I distinctly recall purchasing a set of X-Files Barbie dolls by Mattel – Ken and Barbie as Mulder and Scully. Fast-forward two decades and I believe our set is long gone (sold at some point along the way, or stashed in a box somewhere), but now it’s happening again… but this time it’s not Ken and Barbie doing cosplay, but new X-Files Barbie dolls crafted to resemble Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). The duo are available to order right now.

Inspired by the hit sci-fi series, this doll assortment includes: Barbi The X-Files Agent Fox Mulder doll, and Barbie The X-Files Agent Dana Scully doll. Each doll wears their signature looks from the ‘90s – dark suits, “FBI” ID and badge. Fans can relive Mulder and Scully’s investigations of unexplained, mind-bending cases with each of the series-influenced Barbie dolls, both arriving with a doll stand and Certificate of Authenticity.

Along with the news that The X-Files are back with Barbie comes some further announcements from the crew at 20th Century Fox Consumer Products ahead of the big 25th Anniversary…
