Dana Scully

For almost 10 years the FBI special unit team of Dana Scully and Fox Mulder investigated the strange and unusual.

Scully, the cautious cynic and Mulder, the wide-eyed believer, looked into alien sightings, abductions, supernatural occurrences and other out of this world happenings.

Their constant back and forth and believer versus unbeliever banter made for great TV.

The show was so popular that it spawned a feature film, a spin-off TV program and tons of merchandise.

The people at Sideshow Collectibles knew a good thing when they saw it so they created a series of 12-inch, fully articulated figures fashioned after the show’s stars and supporting cast.

Dana Scully in lab scrubs was one such figure.

The figure comes packaged in a flip lid box with a large photo of Dana Scully on the front along with the X-Files logo.  On the back of the box is a full color photo of the figure in scrubs along with a text piece about the character and show.  Additional full figure photos are on the sides of the box.

On the inside flap is more text information and a single piece of tissue paper that covers the clear plastic sheet covering the figure and accessories on the body of the box.

Inside the figure and accessories are held in place by a clear plastic, form fitting cocoon and plastic wire straps where necessary.

An ‘The X-File’ base and support wire are included for posing the figure.

The figure’s features look like actress Gillian Anderson of whom they are fashioned after.  Her red hair is pulled back.  The sculptor did a remarkable job of making the hair look real with distinct strands molded in plastic.

The figure’s eyes are a bright blue, it has red lips, a sharp small nose, small ears and soft light skin features.

The head swivels easily and is not bound by the clothing.

Both hands are small and delicate and pre-positioned to hold the accompanying accessories.

The overall articulation is well done with movement in the hips, legs, torso, arms, wrists and ankles.

All movement is smooth and unencumbered by the clothing.

Clothing consists of a short white lab frock with four large pockets, no cuffs and an oversize collar.  It lays over a two-piece light blue medical scrubs that fit loosely over the figure.  

The shirt has no collar and shortened sleeves.

The Scully figure wears off-white tennis shoes with laces.  Included with the figure are a human brain and heart, lab goggles, a scalpel and a cell phone.

All are easily held by the figure.  Posing the figure is made simple by enclosed stand and wire support.

The figure moves freely under the loose cloths with no bunching or binding.
