What this video covers

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie transform a retail pirate animatronic into a life-size Withered Foxy from Five Nights at Freddy's for their 2024 yard haunt. The build combines a fully fabricated foam endoskeleton with 3D-printed and fabric-covered outer pieces, while the original animatronic's servo-driven face mechanics are completely disassembled and remounted to match Foxy's proportions. Inspired by behind-the-scenes photos from the FNAF 2 film production, the creators aim for screen-accurate character detail at a DIY level. Foxy joins a growing roster of scratch-built FNAF animatronics on the channel.

Key takeaways

  • A commercial pirate animatronic (Home Depot's Captain Cuts) serves as the motorized foundation, with all face servos relocated to fit Foxy's proportions
  • The endoskeleton is hand-carved from foam, weathered, and painted silver to mimic the game's exposed metal look
  • Outer surfaces are a hybrid of 3D-printed parts covered in fleece and faux suede for a fabric-suit appearance
  • 3D printing files for Withered Foxy are available to patrons on the creators' Patreon
  • The finished Foxy is intended to display alongside previously built Springtrap and Puppet animatronics in a full FNAF yard haunt setup

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.
