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.

We made a real life HUGGY WUGGY 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.
