We made a real PROTOTYPE (that can CRUSH Poppy!)

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.

Allen from Stiltbeast Studios builds a creepy FNAF-inspired robot prop head using only dollar store finds for under $20. The build demonstrates how cheap, everyday toy robots and dollar tree materials can be kitbashed into a convincing haunted house-quality prop. The episode focuses on the head construction as a proof-of-concept for the technique, with a full-body build potentially to follow based on viewer interest.

Motorized Corpse Crawler Mech How To

FrightProps walks through the assembly of their Motorized Corpse Crawler Mech, a pre-built motorized mechanism designed to bring a crawling skeleton effect to life with minimal effort. The build pairs the mech with a poseable plastic skeleton, demonstrating how straightforward the integration process is. This is positioned as an accessible entry point for first-time prop builders who want a high-impact animated effect without complex fabrication. A wooden base is required separately but is not included with the mech.

The build showcases advanced prop-making craft with pneumatic animation driving the character's movements. It serves as both a showcase piece and an inspiration for haunters interested in pushing their builds into mechanical, industrial territory.
