The Yellow Rabbit
(2024)
Based on the character from Five Nights at Freddy's (the movie) this build took around 2 months of on and off work- at the point I had got into building it I had been in a bit of a hiatus from my own cosplay builds due to focusing mainly on work with Steel Wool Studios.
I wanted to do something a bit different than my usual cosplay builds and try to recreate a screen accurate version of the Yellow Rabbit character from the FNaF movie!
​
I modeled the head myself based on reference images from both the movie and behind the scenes photos- that whole process took around 2 weeks on its own to get to a point of accuracy I was happy with!
​
The body was patterned by hand from a scale model of each of the parts and then blown up to scale and cut from EVA foam- I had to do a LOT of sanding around the edges of each piece to get it to have those nice beveled edges seen in the screen used suit!
​
Each of the "burn" marks were also dremeled out of the foam and then covered in rubber- I also created some squishy fleshy bits of rubber from a mold I made for the holes in arms and chest for extra depth!
​
For the fabric I had looked around for a similar fleece to the movie used one- ended up having to dye all 14 yards of fabric by hand to get a color I was happy with BUT I am VERY happy with the final fabric textures and colors!!
​
​
Hands were also made from EVA foam- in the movie they look really nice and smooth so trying to get that similar effect was my goal. I used a rubber filler over the foam hands and fingers then airbrushed over it all with the correct colors and withering- they ended up being my favorite part of this suit due to how accurate they turned out!
​
​
Of course with all my cosplays I need to have SOME kind of interactive element- so I created a dynamic lighting system with the eyes that changes whenever the head is on or off!
3 different animations can play- a startup animation for when the head is put on a wearer, a slow throb effect when kept on to indicate breathing, and a glitching/flickering effect when the head is taken off!
​
​
This suit has also been used for some officially sanctioned events while being an unofficial build, I recently did a photoshoot with Cloak Brand for their new FNaF Clothing drop and YouTooz for their FNaF Movie Figure line!
​
I plan to wear this suit to cons throughout the year and into next year, I'm pleased with how accurate it came out!!
