Huggy Wuggy is a giant, blood-thirsty blue toy from the indie horror game Poppy Playtime. He creepily wanders around an abandoned toy factory hoping to catch you, give you a big hug, and bite your face.

In our past DIY animatronic projects, we would typically take a Halloween animatronic from somewhere like Spirit Halloween, Home Depot, or Lowes. Since their new 2023 Halloween collections haven’t been released yet, we decided to try making an animatronic completely from scratch. We built Huggy Wuggy’s skeleton from PVC pipe, and we used a windshield wiper motor for his motion. His head was sculpted out of Styrofoam and the whole thing was covered with fluffy blue fur. We got to use our new Hot Wire tools to cut the foam and they worked really well. Highly recommend you check them out if you do a lot of foam carving. It’s been an engineering challenge trying to get him balanced and moving how we want him to, but we’re very happy with the result.

Building our DIY Huggy Wuggy animatronic was a lot of fun! Let us know if you want to see us build more characters from scratch, or if you want to see more Halloween animatronic makeovers. We love both! We also really enjoyed doing the toy makeovers for Freddy Fazbear and Choo Choo Charles.

Stay Wicked, y’all!

18:06 Ok... Am I the only one who practically fainted when the head slightly tilted towards him on its own when he put Huggy's arm around his neck? Are we all just not going to talk about that? Stuff of absolute nightmares. Great work guys and keep it up! It seems I am destined to die in my sleep....

[kylobear]

It’s such a weird horror game but I was super excited to see this built in real life! Gigantic!

[HaroldTheHerald-kepz]

going to your house at Halloween must be terrifying

[inspektorblacket]

He’s canonically 18ft tall, but I can understand with the budget, I can understand the downsizing.

[George_vv]

It is SO MUCH COOLER than I imagined. I also love how you guys explain a lot of the engineering details, it's really fun!

[glowgirlgaming]

OMG this is SO cool!!! You should make a movie. I would watch it 12 times!!

[bishopparker]

I want it pls only real wickedmarkers fans can like this comment

Despite the minor setbacks, this definitely has to be the most accurate Huggy Wuggy animatronic ever. I think it has to do with the lightning, but it's almost terrifying how he looks exactly like he does in game and from the game's poster. I can't express how much I love this and I look forward to seeing more amazing projects such as this. Perhaps even making Mommy Longlegs, Bunzo Bunny, or Poppy herself.

Keep up with your passion projects!

@18:05 i love how huggy wuggy's head slightly tilts after he puts his arm around him like he was confused

[halloww]

This is amazing how there are people like you two who put such dedication into projects like these. Making something like this by scratch is INCREDIBLE!! Good job ♡♡

[michaelhoward]

I've worked at Spirit Halloween for 12 years and I can honestly say that your animatronic is way cooler than a lot of the ones we've had. Great job!

[ChianneLafayette-blyx]

You make real electronics I’m so inspired by you guys

[TheRandomMan]

My brain is trying to comprehend the fact that that’s real. IT LOOKS SO GOOD! It feels like you just plucked him straight from the game! Really good job you too, you’ve earned a new sub!

[LukeEion]

I’m SO glad I don’t have to wait until Sept/Oct to see you guys make such awesome stuff!
This looks incredible and have given me so many ideas!!

[Allfrey]

They need to make a replica of themselves but make it like zombies that would be so cool

[mezmereyesofficial]

You know spirit Halloween should have your animantronics because horror theme reflects Halloween theme
