Mattel are releasing these dolls and every 90s sci-fi kid is going to want one

I don’t know if the truth is out there but these dolls soon will be!

Mattel has announced that they will be releasing two new dolls but while it is a well-known duo… it’s not Barbie and Ken.

If you were a big sci-fi fan in the 90s you may want to prepare yourself.

Yes, it’s Mulder and Scully!

Fans of the hit 90s TV show The X-Files will soon be able to own the alien-hunting FBI agents and the FoxShop are already taking pre-orders.

The new dolls are to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the show’s release on September 10, 1993, and in accordance, the dolls will be released on September 10 2018.

I loved The X-Files as a kid, even though I totally wasn’t supposed to be watching it and was addicted to the books so I may have to nab a Scully doll for myself.

Priced at $49.95 (€43) each, the dolls plus delivery could set you back a little over €100 so if you’re planning on passing UFO spotters to the next generation, you may want to buy them for older kids and not toddlers.

Ireland is not listed as one of the countries they deliver to but a parcel motel service will help you work your way around that.

The dolls will be available to buy next week and I would imagine that they will be very popular with 90s kids who are now parents, looking to relive some of their favourite TV memories from growing up.

But you know, we’ll say we’re buying them for the children.

Were you a fan of The X-Files? What were some of your favourite shows growing up?
