Fans of Regular Show will soon be able to pre-order collectible figures of Mordecai, Rigby, and Skips from YouTooz. While Mordecai and Rigby were similar characters, Skips was quite different.

Despite their contrasting personalities, all three characters will be available as statues and shipped this summer, likely in June or July.
