What this video covers

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie transform Spirit Halloween's 2022 Lord Raven animatronic into an elaborate dark sorcerer character with a fully custom costume and large lightweight foam feather wings. The build draws inspiration from Stiltbeast Studios' DIY feather wing technique and layers handmade accessories, creepy cloth, and painted details over the stock prop. The video covers both a brief unboxing review of Lord Raven's out-of-the-box features — flapping arms, moving head, glowing red eyes, and spoken dialogue — and the complete step-by-step makeover process. The finished prop is presented as a standout piece suitable for home haunts, yard displays, or haunted house environments.

Key takeaways

  • Lord Raven's stock animatronic features include flapping arm-wings, a moving head, glowing red eyes, and built-in audio
  • The makeover adds a full dark sorcerer costume using fabric, creepy cloth, skulls, and bone accessories
  • Large black feather wings are scratch-built from EVA foam and wire armature, inspired by Stiltbeast Studios techniques
  • Budget-friendly materials like pool noodles and bubble wrap are incorporated alongside craft store supplies
  • The upgraded prop dramatically elevates the stock animatronic's visual impact for haunts or yard displays

Real YARNABY Animatronic! 🧶😱 #poppyplaytime

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie construct a full animatronic version of Yarnaby from the horror game Poppy Playtime, built from steel and driven by pneumatics. The build goes beyond aesthetics — the team stress-tests the animatronic's jaw mechanism using a ballistic gel arm to see whether it could realistically bite through a limb. The video blends behind-the-scenes fabrication footage with chaotic prop-testing in classic Wicked Makers style. It sits alongside their broader catalog of mascot-horror animatronics inspired by FNAF, Poppy Playtime, and similar franchises.
