Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a full-scale pneumatic DogDay animatronic inspired by the legless, imprisoned character from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3. The build combines a steel frame powered by pneumatic mechanics (sourced from haunted attraction specialists Hallucinations Creations) with a custom 3D-printed and modeled head, a wire-and-foam body armature, and a shaggy fur exterior. Animation is driven by a prop controller from Purgatory Props, and the finished piece is set inside handmade theatrical flat jail cell walls. The result joins an expanding collection of Wicked Makers' video-game-inspired Halloween animatronics.
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.
Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie build a giant Huggy Wuggy animatronic entirely from scratch, drawing inspiration from the indie horror game Poppy Playtime. The build uses a PVC pipe skeleton for structure, a windshield wiper motor to drive movement, and a hot-wire-carved styrofoam head covered in fluffy blue fur. The team documents the engineering challenges of balancing and tuning the motion, offering a detailed look at a full scratch-built character animatronic. The finished prop delivers a convincing, oversized jumpscare-ready version of the iconic blue monster.
Wicked Makers duo Jaimie and Jay bring the analog horror character Shin Sonic — a nightmarish, distorted version of Sonic the Hedgehog from 'The Sonic Tapes' — to life as a full-scale DIY animatronic. They gut and modify a donor Christmas animatronic, welding on custom limb extensions to match the character's unnaturally elongated proportions. A massive, double-rowed-teeth head is 3D modeled, printed over roughly a week, and painted, while the body is sculpted from foam and pool noodles before everything is finished in blue fur fabric. The finished build is a striking, genuinely unsettling practical animatronic that joins their growing collection of DIY horror figures.
