What this video covers
Wicked Makers duo Jaimie and Jay transform Spirit Halloween's Darling Dolly animatronic into the Other Mother (the Beldam) from the film Coraline. The makeover involves resculpting the head with Apoxie Sculpt, rebuilding the arms in foam clay, crafting a new costume from fabric and EVA foam, and finishing with button eyes, oversized needle fingers, a new wig, and strategic paintwork. This short-form video showcases the completed result of a more detailed full-length build. The finished prop captures the skeletal, spider-like silhouette of the Coraline villain convincingly.

Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf
