Man, I wish these customs by Teddy Man were mass-produced things that I could buy, like, right this very second. He even used some Kidrobot Munny parts for these!

Vannen’s latest timepiece features everyone’s favorite time-traveling, lip-syncing rock duo Mordecai and The Rigbys from one of the greatest Regular Show episodes of all time. Only 300 of these were made and each one comes hand numbered. As an added bonus, random shipments will include packaging signed and sketched upon by Regular Show creator J.G. Quintel (who we totally interviewed!).
Okay, so it was less of a party and more like a phone interview, but it totally felt like a party, so that’s what it will always be in my memories.
Regular Show easily ranks among the upper echelon of greatest cartoons of all time. It airs on Cartoon Network right along the equally radical Adventure Time and has become a hallmark of the station.
Now in its fourth season, the show centers around the mega slackers Mordecai (a blujay) and his best friend Rigby (a raccoon). They work at a park where they get yelled at by their boss (Benson, a gumball machine), seek out advice from the park’s handyman (Skips, an immortal Yeti voiced by Mark Hamill), and fight off monsters, aliens, and other evil things that they accidentally summon/create/piss off. Each episode is a smorgasbord of 80’s action/sci-fi/comedy/geeky goodness with references to everything from Weekend At Bernies to Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead.
You know, regular, ordinary stuff for a kid’s cartoon.
We had the chance to speak with the show’s creator for today’s release of the 16-episode Regular Show: Party Pack DVD.
ALBOTAS: Regular Show has a pretty crazy cast: talking vending machines, ghosts, an old guy with a lollipop for a head. Who would you say is your favorite Character?
JG Quintel: I’d have to go with Mordecai because he’s a lot like me. He’s pretty much who I was in college. Muscle Man makes me laugh too.
Mitch “Muscle Man” Sorrenstein. He doesn’t really get mom jokes.
One of my favorite characters on the show is High Five Ghost, and he also has a brother, Low Fives. I’ve always wanted to know, since they’re ghosts, how did they die?
That’s not something I’ve really thought about yet, but I’m glad people care enough to question it!
Regular Show has lots of video game references. Mordecai and Rigby are often seen playing a Sega Master System and even the episodes themselves feel like video games with almost every episode ending with a boss battle. Is there any chance of a Regular Show video game in the near future?
We’re constantly sharing ideas with Cartoon Network. I’m sure that most people would look the other way but I think there’s a lot of stuff in the show that would translate well to a video game.
Mordecai and Rigby have faced a rogues gallery of bad guys in the show’s four seasons. It was especially awesome to see all the villains come back in the Dr. Whovian season 4 premiere Exit 4B. Do you have a favorite bad dude that stands out among the rest?
I really like GBF (Garret Bobby Ferguson). I think he’s hilarious. It’s funny because, you know, there’s so many cool villains on the show, but most of them just end up dying by the end of the episode, so they’re all just wiped out. When we came up with that episode for the premiere - it was like “Ah! We can bring ‘em all back!” I’m glad that we got to get a little more mileage out of a lot of those villains.

What is your secret weapon?
Hrm.. As far as the show goes?
As far as life.
Life? Oh my God! You have to, I guess, just do what you want to do. Don’t worry about what other people what you to do because you just gotta do what makes you happy. I think that translates well into making shows. Just make what you want to see and hopefully people will want to watch it.
Final, and possibly most important question: If you could be any food, what food would you be and why?
Mmm. Mhhhm. Mhhhm. Maybe a hamburger because it has all the essential food groups if the order is made properly and can be quite delicious.
Regular Show: Party Pack DVD is available RIGHT NOW and new episodes air Monday nights on Cartoon Network.

Speaking of this show, did anyone catch the “Sandwich of Death” episode that aired tonight where anyone who eats the mystical sandwich without wearing cut-off jeans and mullet dies?
It was pretty epic with all kinds of 80’s Kung-Fu movie action. I wish it was a video game. Actually, I wish all Regular Show episodes were video games. =(

Epic Regular Show street art mural. It even has the Banksy-esque bad guy from the graffiti episode AND an Instagram logo! Crazy that we live in a day and age where street artists are hashtagging their vandalism.

The PS3 Gets A Slim New Redesign. Again.
Last night at a pre-Tokyo Game Show event, in an attempt to prolong the lifespan of the PS3, Sony unveiled the latest PS3 design. This new model is 25% smaller and 20% lighter than the current PS3 slim and will come in 250GB and 500GB HDD models.
The 500GB will set you back $299.99 and the 250GB model will be available for $269.99 as a limited edition bundle packed with Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception Game of the Year Edition and a $30 downloadable content voucher for Dust 514.
But here’s the bad news…
It doesn’t play PS1 or PS2 games.
OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!
No biggie, though. You can download just about all the good ol’ stuff anyway. Plus, the discs top-load which totally reminds me of back in the day, so that’s cool.
Two great tastes that taste great together. Scoop this tee designed by WinterArtwork today only from teefury.com for just $10.
