Can you sense it? The gentle wind whispering through the foliage?
Autumn is swiftly approaching, ushering in crackling leaves, pumpkins adorning doorsteps, and Halloween fun. It’s the perfect moment to revisit Patrick McHale’s Emmy-winning animated mini-series Over the Garden Wall. As half-brothers, the nervous Wirt (Elijah Wood) and the mischievous Greg (Collin Dean) venture into The Unknown, meeting an array of fascinating characters, including a frog with many names, a spirited bluebird (Melanie Lynskey), and a fearsome dog with “gorgeous eyes!”
To commemorate Over the Garden Wall this eerie season, Mondo has unveiled plans for a collection of collectible figures and a fresh variant of the original soundtrack LP by The Blasting Company. Mashable holds the exclusive scoop on the album’s new insights and the inaugural set of figures in the Over the Garden Wall Figure Set – Chapter 1.
Over the Garden Wall creator Patrick McHale shared his enthusiasm about the Mondo collection in a press release, stating, “Mondo’s craftsmanship is consistently excellent, but these figures possess a distinct charm. The detail is remarkable.”
Let’s delve into the treasures that might entice you to indulge:
Over the Garden Wall‘s Wirt and Greg transformed into action figures.
The Mondo Squads line has previously presented fans with intricately designed figures of Adventure Time‘s Finn and Jake; Daria‘s Daria and Jane, Rick & Morty‘s leading antiheroes, as well as Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina from Aaahh!!! Real Monsters. From their release of the Over the Garden Wall Figure Set – Chapter 1, Mondo introduces figures of Greg and Wirt, complete with interchangeable faces, hands, and accessories.
These models represent the mini-series’ inaugural episode, “Chapter 1: The Old Grist Mill.” You can change Wirt’s expression to appear either joyful or serious by swapping his head. His cloak can transition from open to closed in three stages, and he is equipped with an axe and his iconic Pilgrim’s hat. Regarding Greg, he naturally has candy, his rock (for rock facts), his teapot hat, the dark turtle, and his cherished frog (known as Kitty, Wirt, Dr. Cucumber, and Jason Funderburker).
This is all part of the Standard Edition of Mondo’s Over the Garden Wall Figure Set — “Chapter 1: The Old Grist Mill,” priced at $95. Meanwhile, the Exclusive Limited Edition features Beatrice the bluebird (in a no-nonsense stance) and The Dog figure, oozing dark substance and boasting those alluring eyes. This Limited Edition is priced at $135.
