Here are a few more updates to my collection:
First up is an upgrade to the Firewand prop. I had the nozzle upgraded to match the one recently sold by the original maker/prop master for the X-Files. The same friend who designed the prop for me before designed the new nozzle and then I made the "fuel cell" that fits inside it.
Second, we have CSM's CIA credentials. The credentials seen were made by sctcarts and are a replica of the production made, but not screen used, CSM credentials from the actual show. It’s not known why they were made and not used, although they were clearly production made as identical credentials were used in Season 2’s “Colony/End Game” storyline for both Special Agent Barrett Weiss of the FBI Field Office in Syracuse, NY, and Special Agent Ambrose Chapel of the CIA - who later, of course, turned out to be the Alien Bounty Hunter in disguise. I know Special Agent Barrett Weiss was an FBI Agent, but he did in fact use the CIA credentials, although we on these boards of course know how common it is in TV and films for mistakes or post-production changes to have flukes like this. I do suspect that CSM’s credentials may have been made for Season 7’s “En Ami”, given the nature of that story, especially since his initials were first revealed in Season 6, but that is just speculation on my part.
Next is Mulder's photo of Samantha that was on his desk from Season 2 though 9. I recreated the photo in from screencaps, both DVD and blu-ray. The photo you all have seen before in an earlier post but I finally was able to find one of the two frame types used on screen. This frame was used from Season 6 to 9 and it’s a bit more classy that the original frame. IMO.
Then I updated Scully's X-File a bit with an upgrade to her implant catalog card - after watching Redux again, I noticed some text that I was missing, so I corrected that - and I worked up a page from the phonebook where Mulder found the Skyland Mountain ad so I could "tear" it out for her file.
Also, I finally settled on which phones to get for my collection, of course the Nokia 101 not only because it was the first phone used in the show by both of them, but because Scully used it all the way through the movie “Fight the Future”. Then I chose to get the Nokia 6160M which was used in Season 7, because it was only the second time in the show when both Mulder and Scully used the same phone. The Nokia 6160M, of course, is an updated version of the 6160 phone that Mulder used in FTF, but by no means exact.
