We made Shin Sonic real! (Animatronic)

Jaimie and Jay made a real Shin Sonic animatronic from the Sonic Tapes. Shin Sonic is a twisted, evil version of Sonic the Hedgehog created by Evanimas for his analogue horror series. As huge Sonic and horror fans, we knew we had to bring this cursed character to life. We started with a Mickey Mouse Christmas animatronic, but his proportions were way off for Shin Sonic’s unnaturally long limbs. So we took him apart and welded on custom extensions for his arms and legs. Next, we 3D modeled his head, complete with a massive, tooth-filled mouth featuring double rows of jagged teeth. After a week of 3D printing and painting, his head alone looked like something straight out of a nightmare and weighed over 13 lbs. To shape his body, we used foam, pool noodles, and duct tape. Everything was then covered in Sonic’s iconic blue fur. Building this guy was a ton of work, but the end result is even more cursed and creepy than we imagined—and we absolutely love it. We’re so excited to add Shin Sonic to our little family of DIY horror animatronics alongside Huggy Wuggy and Springtrap. What do you think of our real-life Shin Sonic? And who should we build next? Let us know in the comments and until next time. Stay wicked!
