What this video covers

This progress update from SKS Props shows early-stage construction of a Mari Lwyd horse skull mask built from EVA foam. The base shapes have been assembled and the build is heading toward a detailed, wearable skull mask with a moving jaw. Further sanding, detailing, and a craft store run for accessories are planned before the piece is complete. The Mari Lwyd is a Welsh folk tradition featuring a horse skull carried door-to-door during the winter season.

Key takeaways

  • EVA foam is used to construct the foundational skull base shapes
  • A moving jaw mechanism is part of the planned design
  • Sanding and surface detailing are upcoming steps in the build
  • Additional accessories will be sourced from a craft store to finish the prop
  • The build is inspired by the Welsh Mari Lwyd folk tradition

Who this is for

Cosplayers, fursuit makers, and Halloween prop builders interested in crafting creature skull masks or culturally inspired wearable props from EVA foam.

Materials mentioned

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.
