The DemScape collection

A new fan site is around: a showcase of prop replicas and costumes related to , by fellow fan and friend Demijan Omeragic! Among others, the Tulpa statuette from “Arcadia”, the Alien Bounty Hunter stiletto weapon, Krycek’s leather coat from “Patient X”, Frank Black’s iconic coat. More and more fans delve into the details of the making of the show, and two aspects are the props and costumes.

The props replicas is a world in of itself, with fans obsessively trying to get information out of screen captures and auctioned props to make their replicas as screen-accurate as possible. The costumes is another world, where fans either make replicas of their own or try to track down the exact commercial model (from 30+ years ago) that was used by the production. All good stuff, with great personal stories behind each item — I encourage you to look around!

TXF-themed set in LEGO Ideas competition

**VOTE BEFORE 21 Feb**

This Lego set based on The X-Files is very, very cool, filled with in-jokes, is made up of 2000+ pieces, and it has a high chance of being officially commercialized, if fans vote for it. And if rights issues get resolved — but Lego already produces Disney-licensed products.

Lego takes ideas for certain new sets among submissions. This creator, Brent Waller / WetWired, submitted a TXF-themed set to Lego before (set, promo video, on the set of the revival with Duchovny & Anderson). But at the time Lego did not choose it, justifying this by saying it was considered too violent and not on-brand for the company. Times have changed, and now this updated set is up against just four other submissions in a specifically 90s-themed competition.

Now, I’m not much of a fan of “collectibles” — Funko Pops, figurines, and other creative ways capitalism consumes more plastic — but… I *am* partial to Legos! I mean look at it!
