Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a full-scale pneumatic DogDay animatronic inspired by the legless, imprisoned character from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3. The build combines a steel frame powered by pneumatic mechanics (sourced from haunted attraction specialists Hallucinations Creations) with a custom 3D-printed and modeled head, a wire-and-foam body armature, and a shaggy fur exterior. Animation is driven by a prop controller from Purgatory Props, and the finished piece is set inside handmade theatrical flat jail cell walls. The result joins an expanding collection of Wicked Makers' video-game-inspired Halloween animatronics.
Wicked Makers built a full-sized animatronic version of Bon the Rabbit from the analog horror series The Walten Files as a Make-A-Wish gift for a 12-year-old fan. The build features a welded steel frame standing over six feet tall, animated via a wiper motor for waist rotation and servos controlling the head and jaw. A FrightProps talking skull, Purgatory Props controller, and Bottango software round out the electronics package. The creators also coordinated a special surprise involving The Walten Files' creator, Martin Walls.
Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie build a full-scale animatronic version of The Prototype (Experiment 1006) from Poppy Playtime Chapter 5, complete with a welded steel skeleton, hand-tailored costume, and a highly detailed resin-printed face produced on a Formlabs Form 4L printer. The build features motorized head and face rotation driven by Purgatory Props' Aamon Motor Controller, as well as a pneumatically powered crushing hand. To demonstrate the prop's crushing capability, the team also fabricates a life-sized Poppy doll as a test subject. The result is a professional-grade, screen-accurate horror animatronic that blends fabrication, 3D printing, and pneumatics into a single ambitious build.
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a large-scale pneumatic animatronic of the Ink Demon from Bendy and the Dark Revival, marking a significant step up in complexity from their previous builds. The project combines welded steel framing, foam-and-wire muscle structure, a custom 3D-printed and sculpted head, and a full black silicone skin to achieve the character's signature inky look. Movement is driven by a pneumatic system and coordinated through a prop controller supplied by Purgatory Props. The result is a full character animatronic capable of physically lunging or striking — true to the threatening nature of the source material.
Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie build a full-sized animatronic version of Bon the Rabbit from the analog horror series The Walten Files as a Make-A-Wish gift for a 12-year-old fan. Standing over six feet tall, the animatronic features a welded steel frame, a wiper motor for waist rotation, and servos controlling head and jaw movement. The team collaborated with Walten Files creator Martin Walls to make the reveal extra special for the recipient. The build draws on the duo's extensive experience crafting character animatronics from franchises like FNAF and Poppy Playtime.
This short behind-the-scenes clip spotlights Gourdie, a giant pumpkin creature prop from the Village Mire home haunt. The builder walks through how the character has evolved over multiple seasons, starting as a wood-framed, paper-mache-skinned build before being upgraded to a sturdier steel frame with a Habitat Black skin. The video is a teaser peek at the prop with more detailed content promised to follow.
