Gillian Anderson is revisiting the mysterious world of Dana Scully in a cinematic mini-film that brings the upcoming LEGO® Ideas The X-Files (21369) set to life.
Based on a fan submission by Brisbane-based 3D artist and fan designer Brent Waller (known as wetwired on LEGO Ideas) via the ’90s Nostalgia Challenge, the 1,478-piece set captures the spooky essence of the iconic sci-fi drama.
What’s in the Box?
A true love letter to the series, the set centers around Fox Mulder’s notoriously cluttered office, complete with:
- The classic “I Want to Believe” poster and “The Truth is Out There” tile
- An X-Files dossier and a nod to Mulder’s sunflower seed habit
- Pencils stuck in the ceiling
In addition to the office, the model features a forest clearing scene paired with a hovering UFO mounted on a transparent stand for a striking dual-display presentation.
Fans also get 8 Minifigures:
- Fox Mulder
- Dana Scully
- Walter Skinner
- Mr. X
- Alex Krycek
- Carl Busch
- The Flukeman
- A grey alien
Gillian Anderson’s Take
Commenting on her return to the franchise, Gillian Anderson shared: “I didn’t expect to be stepping back into Scully’s heels to investigate a LEGO set… it has been so much fun revisiting that world all these years later. This set is a wonderful celebration of the X-Files, and the fans who have kept its mystery alive.”
