What this video covers
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-sized animatronic version of The Puppet (The Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The character's body is sculpted from foam and wrapped in black velvet, while the mask was 3D printed, textured, and painted — with additional credit to a collaborating prop sculptor. The scare effect is driven by a pneumatic scissor mechanism that launches the prop roughly three feet forward, paired with a second pneumatic that extends its arms for a faithful FNAF jumpscare. The finished animatronic was field-tested by frightening neighborhood kids on Halloween.
Key takeaways
- ◆The Puppet's body is foam-sculpted and covered in black velvet; the mask is 3D printed and hand-painted
- ◆A pneumatic scissor mechanism provides the rapid forward lunge of approximately 3 feet
- ◆A secondary pneumatic inside the chest animates the arms extending outward during the scare
- ◆3D print files for the mask are available via the creators' Patreon
- ◆The build was live-tested as a Halloween scare attraction for real guests
