What this video covers
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.
Key takeaways
- ◆Yarnaby animatronic is built from scratch using steel framing and pneumatic actuation
- ◆Jaw mechanism is powerful enough to be tested against a ballistic gel arm
- ◆Build walkthrough covers the full fabrication process from concept to finished prop
- ◆Part of a larger Wicked Makers series covering FNAF, Poppy Playtime, and mascot-horror builds
- ◆Demonstrates how pop-culture horror game characters can be translated into physical haunted house props

Materials mentioned
- • steel
- • pneumatics
- • ballistic gel
⚠ Safety notes
Pneumatic systems and steel fabrication carry significant injury risk; proper pressure management and metal-working safety gear are essential. Bite-force testing with ballistic gel suggests high mechanical force — keep clear of moving jaw components during operation.

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.
