What this video covers

This short-form clip demonstrates a core prop-building technique: filling a wood armature with Great Stuff expanding spray foam and then carving away the excess to shape the piece. It offers a quick, practical look at how haunters can bulk out skeletal structures inexpensively. The process is approachable for beginners and serves as a useful foundational skill for larger Halloween prop builds.

Key takeaways

  • Wood armatures provide an internal skeleton that expanding foam can be built around
  • Great Stuff spray foam is used to bulk out and fill the prop form
  • Carving the cured foam allows precise shaping of the final prop
  • This technique is budget-friendly and beginner-accessible

Who this is for

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.
