Wicked Makers duo Jaimie and Jay transform a novelty dancing bear into a screen-accurate Withered Freddy Fazbear animatronic from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The build combines high-density foam body sculpting, Apoxy Sculpt foot detailing, and 3D-printed head and hands to match the in-game character model. Flocking ties the mixed materials together into a cohesive fuzzy texture, while the original bear's motorized movement is retained as the animatronic's dancing action. The finished piece captures the tattered, decayed aesthetic of Withered Freddy with wires and distressed detailing throughout.
