REAL CatNap Animatronic! #catnap #poppyplaytime #shorts
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a fully functioning CatNap animatronic from scratch, bringing the popular Poppy Playtime horror-game character to life. The short-form video showcases the impressive finished result of their fabrication work. It's a quick but striking look at what dedicated prop builders can achieve with recognizable pop-culture source material.
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.
We made a real CATNAP Animatronic!
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a large-scale animatronic version of Catnap, the monstrous purple cat villain from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3. The build uses a PVC pipe skeleton fleshed out with XPS foam, pool noodles, and bubble wrap, then covered in purple fleece fur. Mechanically, a wiper motor drives an arching back motion, a high-torque servo turns the head side to side, and a hidden microfogger vents red-tinted smoke from the chest to replicate Catnap's signature 'Poppy Gas' breath. An Arduino and the free Bottango app tie the movements and NeoPixel glowing eyes together into a cohesive, show-ready animatronic.
