What this video covers

This short video from Stiltbeast Studios offers a focused look at detailing a sculpt using Monster Clay, a popular oil-based clay known for its low softening and melting temperature. The clip serves as a quick practical demonstration of clay detailing techniques rather than a full step-by-step tutorial. Monster Clay is noted as being available through specialist suppliers catering to prop and mask makers.

Key takeaways

  • Monster Clay is an oil-based clay with a low softening temperature, making it workable with gentle heat
  • The video focuses on detailing and refining a sculpt rather than building from scratch
  • Monster Clay is widely available through Halloween and mold-making supply retailers
  • Short runtime makes it a quick reference rather than a comprehensive tutorial

Who this is for

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.
