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.

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay tackle a three-way timed build challenge, constructing Jackie animatronics from FNAF: Secret of the Mimic in one hour, one day, and one week respectively.

The builds escalate dramatically in complexity and polish, showcasing what dedicated fabrication time and collaborator support can achieve. The video concludes with a practical stress test of the week-long build.

Real INK DEMON Animatronic that actually attacks Us!

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a large-scale pneumatic animatronic of the Ink Demon from Bendy and the Dark Revival, marking a significant step up in complexity from their previous builds. The project combines welded steel framing, foam-and-wire muscle structure, a custom 3D-printed and sculpted head, and a full black silicone skin to achieve the character's signature inky look. Movement is driven by a pneumatic system and coordinated through a prop controller supplied by Purgatory Props. The result is a full character animatronic capable of physically lunging or striking — true to the threatening nature of the source material.
