Mondo is venturing into The Unknown, announcing the first-ever official collectables based on Patrick McHale’s beloved, Emmy-winning Cartoon Network miniseries, Over the Garden Wall.
In a partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, the Austin-based creator of high-end pop culture items is finally bringing the autumnal, folkloric adventures of Wirt and Greg to the display shelf. The collection will be spearheaded by a new figure set, which is the first in Mondo’s new “Mondo Squads” line, and a new pressing of the series’ popular vinyl soundtrack.
The core of the collection is the Over the Garden Wall Figure Set – Chapter 1. The standard version will retail for $95 and includes figures of the two lost brothers, Wirt and Greg. The set features swappable hands and portraits, with Wirt also coming with an interchangeable cap and three different capes. Greg is accompanied by his rock-fact-holding frog (whose name is a spoiler!), his trusty axe, and a kitty.
For dedicated fans, a Limited Edition version will be available for $135. This premium set includes everything from the regular edition, but also adds figures of the sharp-tongued bluebird, Beatrice, and the menacing entity known only as “The Beast.” The inclusion of these key characters offers a more complete diorama of the show’s first chapter, “The Old Grist Mill”.
Complementing the figures, Mondo is also releasing a new variant of The Blasting Company’s critically acclaimed OVER THE GARDEN WALL – Original Soundtrack LP. This new pressing of the fan-favourite vinyl will be priced at $35.
Mondo has signalled that this is just the beginning for the collection, hinting that future “chapters” will introduce more characters from the eerie and whimsical world of The Unknown. A figure of the Pottsfield Pumpkin was specifically mentioned as a future possibility, allowing collectors to expand their scenes.
The entire Over the Garden Wall collection is scheduled to go on sale exclusively at MondoShop.com this Thursday, 25th September, from 6 PM BST (10 AM PT).
