Hallmark Reveals Their ‘Freddy vs. Jason’ Itty Bittys
As John Squires earlier noted, a few years back, Hallmark started giving some love to the horror genre with their annual holiday ornament collections, to date surprising us with ornaments based on films such as Jaws, Aliens, Predator and Frankenstein. We’re hoping that we’ll be getting more horror-inspired ornaments for Christmas 2018, but it’s too early to know.
What we do know, however, is that Hallmark will be adding Freddy vs. Jason to their “Itty Bittys” line of plushies this year, with a Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees 2-pack!
While we initially had a sneak peek photo from a new catalog, Hallmark has just shared the first official shots of their Itty Bittys, which will actually by arriving this summer.
Team Jason or team Freddy?

LEGO Officially Reveals ‘The X-Files’ Set Featuring 1,478 Pieces Plus Mulder & Scully Mini Figures!
LEGO recently tasked fans with building their own nostalgic tributes to the 1990s as part of the Build Your Nostalgia – 90s Throwback challenge, with the winning build being turned into an official LEGO Ideas set in the future. The winner of the challenge? A set based on “The X-Files,” and the official set is now being released by LEGO later this Summer!
The LEGO Ideas “The X-Files” set recreates iconic moments from the series, centered on a detailed build of Fox Mulder’s office, paired with a forest clearing scene and a hovering UFO.
The 1,478-piece “X-Files” LEGO set includes 8 minifigures, featuring Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, Walter Skinner, Mr. X, Alex Krycek, Carl Busch, The Flukeman and a grey alien.
The LEGO “X-Files” set ($199.99) will be available to all on August 4, 2026.
LEGO Insiders get Early Access on August 1, 2026.
To mark the reveal, Gillian Anderson stars in a cinematic mini-film tribute to the beloved series. With a nod to FBI Special Agent Dana Scully, Anderson is drawn into an investigation that gradually leads her to uncover the LEGO set itself, piece by piece – bringing the world of “The X-Files” into brick-built form for the fans. Check out the LEGO reveal video below!
“Seeing myself in minifigure form is both surreal and oddly delightful – there’s something very charming about being miniaturised,” Gillian Anderson said in a statement. “The whole set is a brilliant celebration of The X-Files which I hope fans enjoy revisiting in this way – I know I can’t wait to put tiny Scully on my shelf.”
The LEGO Ideas build was originally built and submitted by fan Brent Waller.
“I was obsessed with X-Files from the moment I saw it in the ’90s. I originally built Mulder’s office back in 2014 while rewatching the series, and it grew from there as a personal project,” Waller said. “I wanted to combine nostalgia, detail and storytelling to capture the atmosphere of the show – from Mulder’s office to the forest and UFO encounter. I’m thrilled to see it become an official set and hope it resonates with both long-time fans and new audiences.”
