The X-Files is getting ready to celebrate it’s 25th anniversary. The iconic series is getting the Barbie Doll treatment for Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). The dolls are available for pre-order on Amazon and Barbie.com for a hefty pricetag of $39.99.
Here’s the description:
Inspired by the hit sci-fi series, this doll assortment includes: Barbie® 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.
In other words, you’re probably not going to take this Barbie Doll out of the box.
Fox is also planning a “The Truth is Out There Trivia Contest.” On September 10th (the actual anniversary) the contest will officially start at Shop.Fox.com for a chance to receive an exclusive X-Files prize pack and have options to get their questions included in the trivia contest. The participants who answer the most questions correctly before September 17th when the contest ends will be entered to wind a prize pack including the Barbies.
