How to put it together
- 1
Coordinate with your partner to decide who will play Mordecai (the tall blue jay) and who will play Rigby (the shorter raccoon).
- 2
Put on the respective base layers: royal blue hoodie and gray pants for Mordecai; brown hoodie and dark brown pants for Rigby.
- 3
If using DIY hoodies, paint two white stripes and one black stripe on the cuffs of the blue hoodie to mimic Mordecai's wing tips.
- 4
Put on the character beanies, ensuring they sit snugly on your heads to showcase the felt eyes and facial features.
- 5
Carry the toy keyboard or keytar prop to reference the famous 'The Power' episode.
- 6
Practice your best synchronized slack-jawed shrugs and high-fives to fully embody the characters.
Makeup & hair
Keep hair tucked completely under the character beanies. No heavy makeup is needed, but you can use face paint to add Mordecai's black beak outline or Rigby's dark raccoon eye mask around your eyes.
