2000s. \u00a0This\u00a0has finally been rectified in 2015 thanks to Funko and their Wacky Wobbler line. \u00a0Just as with Funko&#8217;s X-Files entry into their Pop! line of vinyl figures, the Wacky Wobblers were announced in the latter half of 2014 and were released in March of 2015 (about a month ahead of the Pop! figures), just as the confirmation of a 2016 X-Files limited series revival was announced to the public.<\/p>\n<p>As of this posting, it&#8217;s been exactly 17 years since the first X-Files movie hit theaters, and though the timing of these new figures seems to line up more with the series revival than the original theatrical release, this depiction of Mulder and Scully definitely has a Fight the Future vibe to it. \u00a0While the movie or its subtitle aren&#8217;t mentioned explicitly, everything from the design of the characters to the promotional artwork on the box to the style of the logo make for bobbleheads that would have felt right at home beside the <a
