What this video covers
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform a store-bought child-sized animatronic doll into a custom Wednesday Addams character through a full prop makeover. The build includes a detailed face repaint with hand-painted eyes crafted from ping pong balls, a new wig, a period-appropriate costume, and replacement footwear. The project ties into the Netflix Wednesday series release and showcases how an off-the-shelf Halloween animatronic can be completely reimagined with accessible materials. The result is a striking, life-sized OOAK display piece with personality and character.
Key takeaways

- ◆Custom eyes are hand-crafted using ping pong balls and printed irises for a realistic look
- ◆Hot glue, super glue, and acrylic paints are the primary materials — no advanced electronics required

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.
