What this video covers

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform a retail animatronic skeleton into a full-sized Springtrap from Five Nights at Freddy's. The build combines EVA foam and 3D-printed components, all wrapped in green fleece and weathered with paint to achieve the character's signature rotting-suit look. The creators openly acknowledge the project hit several obstacles along the way, making it a candid look at a complex character build. The finished piece is timed to coincide with the release of the FNAF movie.

Key takeaways

  • A retail animatronic skeleton serves as the poseable foundation, fitting the lore of a human trapped inside the suit
  • Suit panels are a hybrid of EVA foam and 3D-printed parts for accurate character shaping
  • Green fleece fabric and distressed paint work sell the aged, decayed appearance of Springtrap
  • Creators share the real-world challenges and setbacks encountered during this large-scale build
  • The project doubles as an animatronic makeover tutorial for FNAF fans wanting a screen-accurate prop

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.
