We made a GIANT KONG Animatronic!

Distortions Unlimited takes viewers behind the scenes on the creation of their giant Kong animatronic gorilla head — a passion project sculpted by Ed Edmunds. The build journey covers every major stage: metal armature construction, clay sculpting, latex skinning, foam filling, and final paint work. Standing approximately 11 feet tall when fully raised, the finished piece features moving eyes, blinking eyelids, a opening/closing mouth, and a side-to-side head turn, all driven by professional-grade pneumatic cylinders. The complete package ships with a control system, audio track, amplifier, fog machine, and simulated lightning lighting effects.

DIY Animatronics

We Made a Giant Kong Animatronic!

Distortions Unlimited takes viewers behind the scenes of the creation of Kong, a massive animatronic gorilla head standing approximately 11 feet tall when fully raised. The prop features a hand-sculpted latex-and-foam construction over a heavy-duty metal armature, with pneumatic mechanics animating the mouth, head rotation, and independently moving eyes and eyelids. Sculpted by company founder Ed Edmunds, Kong ships as a turnkey package that includes a control system, audio track, amplifier, fog machine, and simulated lightning effects. The result is a professional-grade, classic-monster centerpiece suited for haunted attractions, theme parks, and high-end home haunts.
