The brick is out there. Lego has partnered with Gillian Anderson to reveal its new “The X-Files” set, which features 1,478 pieces and eight minifigures (including Mulder and Scully).
“The X-Files” set is part of the company’s fan-favorite Lego Ideas line, in which users submit ideas for products — which are then considered for production as official Lego sets, depending on votes.
“The X-Files” Lego set includes a detailed replica of FBI Agent Fox Mulder’s office, along with a forest clearing scene and a hovering UFO. Minifigures include Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, Walter Skinner, Mr. X, Alex Krycek, Carl Busch, The Flukeman and a grey alien. Inside are details including an “I Want to Believe” poster, an “X-Files” dossier, “The Truth is Out There” tile, pencils in the ceiling of Mulder’s office and a nod to his sunflower seed habit.
“Seeing myself in minifigure form is both surreal and oddly delightful – there’s something very charming about being ‘miniaturised,'” Anderson said in a statement. “The whole set is a brilliant celebration of the ‘X-Files’ which I hope fans enjoy revisiting in this way – I know I can’t wait to put tiny Scully on my shelf.”
Anderson participated in a promo film featuring a nod to Scully as she embarks on an investigation that leads her to the Lego set. Watch below:
