What this video covers
Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie build a full-sized animatronic version of Bon the Rabbit from the analog horror series The Walten Files as a Make-A-Wish gift for a 12-year-old fan. Standing over six feet tall, the animatronic features a welded steel frame, a wiper motor for waist rotation, and servos controlling head and jaw movement. The team collaborated with Walten Files creator Martin Walls to make the reveal extra special for the recipient. The build draws on the duo's extensive experience crafting character animatronics from franchises like FNAF and Poppy Playtime.
