OBSESSED AGAIN

Hello, Frank! I have a question... but I wanted to share with you my past with "The X-Files." My apologies if this ends up being really long and borinG -- feel free to stop reading at any time!
I know you get this a lot but I've been a fan of "The X-Files" since I was 10 -- and that was in Season 5 and so I didn't get to enjoy the first years of the show like many others did. I loved sitting on the couch with my older sister while my dad was on the floor laying in front of the TV with a pillow under his arm while he snacked on a huge bag of David sunflower seeds and we all watched "X-Files" together. lol. True story.... every Sunday morning we would go to church and every night we'd watch it together... it was sort of our family time -- in a disfunctional sort of way. Who says TV can't be a positive thing?
The funny thing is I was never scared of the show -- until a year ago when I became... obsessed again. I was watching the TV Guide Channel and on Sci-Fi it said "X-Files" and I remember saying... oh- I remember that! Because it had been five years since I stopped watching.
Anyway... it was the episode "Space" and it freaked me out as an adult to watch the face on the ceiling. After that -- I was hooked again. Now I'm more obsessed than ever! And in that year -- I have spent countless amounts of money on the DVDs, (I actually ended up with 3 FTF), books, and more recently magazines, posters, and WonderCon. WonderCon was an experience in itself! I was shaking SO bad the whole time that my brother-in-law who I dragged with me felt it. I had butterflies like never before! But... I couldn't contol myself and I screamed at David and he waved to me! Well.... sort of.... Hopefully I can go to the premiere but I'm broke so probably not.
I have gotten pretty much everyone I know excited for XF2 and I -- like so many other Philes want this movie to do extremely well so we can have an XF3! I guess all that other stuff was unnecessary but I ramble-- sorry! Anyway -- I love the work and dedication that you and everyone else has for this show and I can't thank you enough for bringing it back!
And now for the question! I don't know if it's been asked yet but I was wanting to know if there is going to be any action figures/figurines/toys... or whatever you call them in the stores after this movie like there was for FTF. Wow -- that was a short question for such a long post.
Thank you!

I don't have specifics yet on what merchandise is coming out in connection with the feature, but I don't believe there will be any action figures or toys this time around.
