Rebuilding Our HUGGY WUGGY Animatronic (3 Years Later)

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay revisit their very first DIY animatronic — a full-size Huggy Wuggy from Poppy Playtime — and rebuild it from the ground up three years later. The original build, constructed from PVC pipe, a wiper motor, and blue fur, suffered from balance issues, a loose head, and overall fragility. Drawing on lessons learned from numerous animatronic builds since then, the duo overhauls Huggy's structure, stability, and appearance. The result is a dramatically improved version that reflects how far their skills have progressed.

We made a real PROTOTYPE (that can CRUSH Poppy!)

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie build a full-scale animatronic version of The Prototype (Experiment 1006) from Poppy Playtime Chapter 5, complete with a welded steel skeleton, hand-tailored costume, and a highly detailed resin-printed face produced on a Formlabs Form 4L printer. The build features motorized head and face rotation driven by Purgatory Props' Aamon Motor Controller, as well as a pneumatically powered crushing hand. To demonstrate the prop's crushing capability, the team also fabricates a life-sized Poppy doll as a test subject. The result is a professional-grade, screen-accurate horror animatronic that blends fabrication, 3D printing, and pneumatics into a single ambitious build.

We made a real FIGURE Animatronic (that can hear you)

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform a store-bought werewolf animatronic into Figure — the blind, sound-hunting monster from the Roblox horror game Doors. They reshape the prop's body using bubble wrap, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap, then replace the default motion sensor with a sound sensor so the animatronic reacts to noise just like the in-game enemy. Finishing touches include custom teeth and a glowing head before putting their creation to the ultimate test: attempting to sneak past it in real life.
