What this video covers

StiltbeastStudios walks through the process of fabricating a wearable diving helmet entirely from EVA foam, suitable for costumes, cosplay, and haunted attraction characters. The build is framed around a post-apocalyptic character concept called Captain Culver. At roughly 20 minutes, the tutorial covers the core foam-working techniques needed to achieve a convincing hard-shell helmet look. The result functions as both a stage-ready prop and a fully wearable costume piece.

Key takeaways

  • EVA foam is used throughout to replicate the look of a rigid vintage diving helmet
  • The build is designed to be wearable, making it practical for cosplay and live haunt characters
  • Tied to a specific post-apocalyptic character concept, offering creative direction alongside the technique
  • Suitable for haunted attraction performers who need durable, lightweight head pieces

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.
