What this video covers
Wicked Makers duo Jaimie and Jay transform a novelty dancing bear into a screen-accurate Withered Freddy Fazbear animatronic from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The build combines high-density foam body sculpting, Apoxy Sculpt foot detailing, and 3D-printed head and hands to match the in-game character model. Flocking ties the mixed materials together into a cohesive fuzzy texture, while the original bear's motorized movement is retained as the animatronic's dancing action. The finished piece captures the tattered, decayed aesthetic of Withered Freddy with wires and distressed detailing throughout.
Key takeaways
- ◆A pre-built dancing toy provides a ready-made motorized base, dramatically simplifying the animatronic movement challenge
- ◆High-density foam is an ideal body material because it compresses with the mechanism's movement yet holds its sculpted shape
- ◆3D-printed parts and foam textures are unified using flocking fibers for a seamless, fuzzy finish
- ◆Apoxy Sculpt offers precise detail work for smaller pieces like feet that benefit from a harder, sandable surface
- ◆Mixing adhesive types — Barge, super glue, hot glue, and epoxy — allows each material pairing to get the strongest bond
Who this is for
FNAF fans and intermediate prop builders who want to create a character-accurate animatronic replica using a mix of 3D printing, foam work, and a motorized toy base.

Making a real Puppet Animatronic! #fnaf
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a life-size animatronic version of The Puppet (Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. The prop combines a foam-sculpted body wrapped in black velvet with a 3D-printed, painted mask sourced from a third-party sculptor. Two pneumatic systems power the scare: a scissor mechanism that launches the figure forward roughly three feet, and a chest-mounted pneumatic that thrusts its arms outward for the signature jumpscare effect.
