What this video covers

StiltbeastStudios walks viewers through the creation of a poseable Krampus art doll suitable as a dark holiday decoration. The build centers on a flexible armature skeleton that allows the finished figure to hold expressive poses, with sculpted head, hands, and feet formed from epoxy putty. The tutorial bridges Halloween prop-making sensibilities with Christmas folklore, resulting in a display piece that sits comfortably in the 'Gruss vom Krampus' tradition. Links to specific armature and putty products are provided to help crafters source materials easily.

Key takeaways

  • A flexible poseable armature forms the structural backbone of the doll, enabling dynamic display poses
  • Epoxy putty is used to sculpt the detailed head, hands, and feet of the Krampus figure
  • The project blends Halloween craft techniques with dark Christmas folklore for a unique holiday decoration
  • Creator links directly to sourcing options for key materials, lowering the barrier to entry
  • A companion sculpting video is referenced for those wanting deeper instruction on the epoxy putty technique

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.
