What this video covers

This build video walks through recreating the Pre-Mor Holoprojector from Episode 3 of the Andor TV series as a handheld replica prop. The creator kitbashes a vintage Bandai handheld game as the prop's base, integrates functional LED lighting, and adds a 3D-printed bezel for screen accuracy. Layered spray paint and acrylic washes are used to achieve a weathered, lived-in Star Wars aesthetic.

Key takeaways

  • A vintage Bandai handheld game serves as the core donor piece for the build
  • A 3D-printed bezel (sourced from Etsy) adds the distinctive holoprojector detail
  • Functional LED lighting — both cool white and amber — is wired into the prop
  • Multi-stage painting and weathering gives the finished piece a screen-accurate look
  • The build combines kitbashing, basic electronics, and prop-painting skills

Real YARNABY Animatronic! 🧶😱 #poppyplaytime

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie construct a full animatronic version of Yarnaby from the horror game Poppy Playtime, built from steel and driven by pneumatics. The build goes beyond aesthetics — the team stress-tests the animatronic's jaw mechanism using a ballistic gel arm to see whether it could realistically bite through a limb. The video blends behind-the-scenes fabrication footage with chaotic prop-testing in classic Wicked Makers style. It sits alongside their broader catalog of mascot-horror animatronics inspired by FNAF, Poppy Playtime, and similar franchises.
