Diamond Select Toys Reveals X-Files Toy Plans for 2016
When it comes to unexplained phenomena, Diamond
Select Toys knows their stuff – after all, they’ve been turning zombies,
aliens, werewolves and vampires into top-notch toys and collectibles
for over 15 years! Now, with quintessential conspiracy-theory
show The X-Files returning to FOX this January for the first
time since 2002, DST is preparing to delve into that mysterious world
with Select action figures, Vinimates vinyl figures and Minimates
mini-figures!

Diamond Select will release products based on the
fan-favorite TV series alongside items from the new 2016 event series. A
two-pack of Minimates captures Mulder and Scully in their new looks, as
fully poseable 2-inch mini-figures, and is
currently available for pre-order through comic shops. Simultaneously,
DST is offering a pair of 4-inch Vinimates – static vinyl figures
sculpted in the Minimates style – that capture them in their classic
appearances. In the future, DST also will release
a series of Minimates 4-packs based on the classic series.
On the action figure side, two 7-inch-scale action
figures of Mulder and Scully will kick off the X-Files Select line.
Initial figures will be based on the new series, but there are plans to
expand into the classic series, as well.
“As a longtime fan of the show, I’m very excited to
have finally been granted access to the X-Files,” said Diamond Select
Toys President Chuck Terceira. “Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are
one of the most widely referenced and recognized
pairs in pop culture, and the new show has everyone talking about them
again. Plus, we have nine seasons’ worth of supporting cast and
creatures to play with in our line planning.”
