We made a real BON Animatronic! (Walten Files)

Wicked Makers built a full-sized animatronic version of Bon the Rabbit from the analog horror series The Walten Files as a Make-A-Wish gift for a 12-year-old fan. The build features a welded steel frame standing over six feet tall, animated via a wiper motor for waist rotation and servos controlling the head and jaw. A FrightProps talking skull, Purgatory Props controller, and Bottango software round out the electronics package. The creators also coordinated a special surprise involving The Walten Files' creator, Martin Walls.

We made our SCARIEST Animatronic yet... (WALTEN FILES)

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie build a full-sized animatronic version of Bon the Rabbit from the analog horror series The Walten Files as a Make-A-Wish gift for a 12-year-old fan. Standing over six feet tall, the animatronic features a welded steel frame, a wiper motor for waist rotation, and servos controlling head and jaw movement. The team collaborated with Walten Files creator Martin Walls to make the reveal extra special for the recipient. The build draws on the duo's extensive experience crafting character animatronics from franchises like FNAF and Poppy Playtime.

We made Shin Sonic real! (Animatronic)

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.
