What this video covers

StiltbeastStudios walks through building a full-size Weeping Angel yard prop on a tight budget, relying heavily on free and low-cost materials. The figure's structure is built around stacked five-gallon buckets and a coat-hanger armature, with a styrofoam wig head and expanding foam adding shape and detail. A tarp draped over the form creates the angel's iconic flowing robes. The finished display delivers impressive visual impact for roughly $40 or less.

Key takeaways

  • Full-size Weeping Angel display achievable for under $40
  • Five-gallon buckets (free) form the core structural armature
  • Coat hangers shape the arms; tarp creates the draped robe effect
  • Foam floor tiles and expanding foam add sculptural detail
  • Free or repurposed materials keep costs extremely low

Real YARNABY Animatronic! 🧶😱 #poppyplaytime

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie construct a full animatronic version of Yarnaby from the horror game Poppy Playtime, built from steel and driven by pneumatics. The build goes beyond aesthetics — the team stress-tests the animatronic's jaw mechanism using a ballistic gel arm to see whether it could realistically bite through a limb. The video blends behind-the-scenes fabrication footage with chaotic prop-testing in classic Wicked Makers style. It sits alongside their broader catalog of mascot-horror animatronics inspired by FNAF, Poppy Playtime, and similar franchises.
