What this video covers

VanOaksProps recreates the control panel from the newly added storage lockers at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge as a functional prop for a real locker. The build centers on a custom 3D-printed panel that is primed, layered with multiple spray paint colors, and finished with oil paint washes and Rub n Buff to achieve an authentic, weathered sci-fi look. Final assembly uses button-head screws and VHB tape to mount the panel cleanly. The result is a screen-accurate-style replica suitable for Star Wars-themed spaces or Halloween haunt set dressing.

Key takeaways

  • A custom 3D-printed panel file (available on Etsy) forms the foundation of the build
  • Multiple spray paint layers — including blues, reds, and greys — replicate the distinctive Galaxy's Edge color palette
  • Oil paint washes and Rub n Buff create realistic wear and metallic depth
  • VHB tape and metric button-head screws provide a clean, secure final installation

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.
