Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-size animatronic version of The Puppet (Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The prop combines a foam-sculpted body wrapped in black velvet with a 3D-printed, painted mask sourced from a third-party sculptor. Two pneumatic systems power the scare: a scissor mechanism that launches the figure forward roughly three feet, and a chest-mounted pneumatic that thrusts its arms outward for the signature jumpscare effect.
