What this video covers

This short build video follows a maker's attempt to construct a functional replica of the thumper device from the Dune universe, using a 3D-printed model as the foundation. The goal is a working prop that replicates the thumper's signature sound or vibration effect. The creator brings a DIY spirit to the challenge, aiming for screen-accurate results with maker ingenuity.

Key takeaways

  • 3D printing is used as the base construction method for the thumper prop
  • The build aims for a functional result, not just a static display piece
  • Inspired by the Dune film universe and Fremen lore
  • Condensed into a short-form video format showcasing the key build steps

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.
