We made a real DOGDAY Animatronic!

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.

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.
