The OTHER MOTHER Animatronic from Coraline! #shorts

Wicked Makers duo Jaimie and Jay transform Spirit Halloween's Darling Dolly animatronic into the Other Mother (the Beldam) from the film Coraline. The makeover involves resculpting the head with Apoxie Sculpt, rebuilding the arms in foam clay, crafting a new costume from fabric and EVA foam, and finishing with button eyes, oversized needle fingers, a new wig, and strategic paintwork. This short-form video showcases the completed result of a more detailed full-length build. The finished prop captures the skeletal, spider-like silhouette of the Coraline villain convincingly.

We made a real LAST OF US Animatronic!

Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay transform a Spirit Halloween Night Crawler animatronic into a screen-accurate Clicker from The Last of Us by sculpting a cordyceps mushroom bloom over the existing head. The build relies on EVA foam and foam clay for the distinctive fungal petals, with a guest airbrushing lesson adding realistic color depth. Thrifted clothing and careful gap-filling complete the creature makeover. The result is an impressive, character-specific animatronic upgrade achieved with widely available materials.
