Dang that's good! My oldest grandson (9yrs old) Absolutely LOVES & I mean LOOOVES all things scary. One of those things happens to be animatronic's. (Huge FNAF fan)...lol The kid at 9 yrs old is already writing scary short stories and comic's. He amazes me with his imagination! He also makes scary dolls and wants to use his sibling dolls/stuffed animals ect... Lol.. We have to tell him all the time that he can't cut up his lil sisters Care Bears and whatnot 🤣😂 Anyways, my point to is that I can't thank you enough for this inexpensive way of not only spending time with him, but allowing him to build this thing. With my help of course! I'm an avid crafter myself so I do believe that I have pretty much all the products that you used. Thank you so so much for sharing this with us...Take care 👍👍🤗
Dollar tree is my favorite store... love the creativity in building with cheap stuff! I made a haunted garden with dollar tree stuff.... giant Venus fly traps with green paper plate and toothpics, audrey 2 like plants with foam footballs, and chomper flowers with those plastic baseballs and Gatorade bottles! Inspired by some of the heatgun work you did in other videos! Painted them flourescent and used a uv/blacklight....
Someone mentioned on one of the live feeds the other night about doing a found-prop challenge. This is a found-prop build. You got a basket o'stuff, and made a cool robot. So for the found prop build (at a monster camp, or online, etc) you give everyone a basket (or shopping list) and they have to create an original "Thing" from the props in the basket! SO MUCH FUN!!! Love it!
Wow! What a difference once you dry brushed and added the copper. My mouth dropped once i saw how cool the color contrast was. Totally made the piece come to life. This piece reminds me of a creepy law ornament that has a "Tim Burton" like feel to it. To get the law ornament look, maybe attach a piece of PVC to head, stick it in the ground (with rebar) and attach a cheap pinwheel (with more metallic paint). That way when the wind blows the pinwheel moves and the piece has movement. Just spit balling ideas...anyhoo, love the piece! As always, thank you!🤘🏻💀
Fantastic creativity. It would make an amazing mechanical Chinese dragon head. I actually thought that's what it appeared to be in the brief intro, love it!
Thanks for this, I've been gathering pots and pans for a while, and wanted to make a robot. With your guidance I think I can get it done! Thanks so much!
@@StiltbeastStudios can't wait, I almost made my man eating plant out of those bowls, but instead opted to do it in a way similar to your pumpkin pool noodle build. I've been doing pumpkin masks like that for years, sans the piece in the middle, so it was great to see your take on it. You're like the Mark Kistler of crafting props. Love your channel.
We have a couple local Christmas light parades(however I think both have been canceled due to Covid this year). I could totally see rigging this guy with a few more christmas lights, a bit more Christmas colors, and something underneath the head where you could put it over your head to wear to the parade. Maybe a Dollar Tree bucket with a sight window cut out. Grab a grease screen from the cooking gadgets in DT and use it for screen wire to cover your viewing windows.
Yeah. I can't look at a pile of stuff and see scary bear robot. And yeah, I'd love to see what you do for the body. Geez.. what an imagination. Great stuff.
This is the bomb, I need to make one for next year's laboratory. A blue water barrel for a body, PVC frame, stop by the local deli see if they have any small containers their throwing out (arms & legs free's free) if not Dollar Tree. Some miscellaneous bits and pieces. Just what I was looking for big and intimidating. And yet another great idea. Thank you. 👙
I found your channel last month and you helped to inspire me to make the best Halloween yard display yet. I can't wait for next year. Definitely putting the new skills you've taught to use thank you for your videos!!!!
I was home before the lockdown and lost my passion...you get me running to my art room where I can stream your show. Wow I saw plants robots. Awesome AWESOME.
Brilliant. Would have no idea looking at the final product that it’s made up of so many easy to get (and cheap) items. Love these! Could you use your barrel bodies for these heads?
this one is the baby brother of what Im using and uses normal glue sticks. the one in this video Is the 300W version and uses larger than standard glue sticks. I use a glue stick from the same site formulated for plastics. I keep about 12 types of glue stick on hand. glu-stix-online.com/collections/glue-guns/products/adjustable-temperature-hot-melt-glue-gun
Wow this is extremely epic love the dollar tree materials that you used in creating the robotic party bear it's very creative and very well done wow just watching the start to the finish was blown away on how you turned the dollar tree materials and and turned it in to the robotic party bear one thing that would be great to make in regards to this Freddy the bear, and the killer clowns from outer space and last the music techno group the mask of Daft Punk overall this video here is top electronic
Great Job on this project. I am in the midst of building one myself. I used rust-oleum black paint, then put on the metallic silver. It bubbled up. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Great ideas! BTW I use Dollar Tree flip flops to resole my crocs when the soles get too smooth. Just cut off the straps and superglue them on the bottoms of my crocs.
This is so awesome!!! I love how your brain takes a bunch of arbitrary objects and turns them into a work of art. I would love to see a body build cause it's his birthday, and he is so hard to shop for, it would be the perfect gift. LOL 😆
This came out great with the cool metal look. 🤖 I was at Dollar Tree yesterday getting pool noodles and saw the litter scoops and thought of using them for the mouthpiece of a mask like the Apocalypse Masks.
most likely canyon black from 2X I dont clean my brushes. 100brushes cost me $14 so they are .14 each. cleaning a brush out takes 5 min to do it well. if I pay myself $20 and hour then I lose a quarter every time I clean a brush. I have end of life uses for the handles so I keep those.
its not just paint its prep. you can lightly sand it, you can paint it with spray adhesive first, you can use the purple pvc primer first- those are all viable techniques.
@@StiltbeastStudios thanks for your insight. Since you mentioned lightly sanding, it made me wonder about a light duty airbrush sandblaster. Turns out that's a thing. Have you ever tried that?
Shoulda left the ziptie tails from the pistons and added a ping pong ball or something a bit heavier. Could get motion similar to what you do for your dementors
I almost skipped this one because, at this time, I have no interest in a robot. I'm so glad I didn't. I need to start thinking outside the box more. So thanks again for more wonderful ideas.
Getting so much possessed killer animatronic fnaf vibes out of this except the prop looks as if it's made of metal, so it actually looks as if it's made to kill
Yeah its pretty freaky and definitely gruesome, dead kid spirits powering some chuck e cheese bootleg animatronics at night, either way greater build and also thats pretty cool man, i would have love to have gone to that haunt.
yeah, there about six types in that build Im sure- many are not recycle labeled on the bottom for identification. They do have polycarbonate cups in there that I use a lot.
@@StiltbeastStudios yes they sell them check it out online.I have cases of the green and white ones but I use them to make different shaped wreaths by taping them together at the base. There are many possibilities. I thought about bringing them back.
@@StiltbeastStudios They are black and orange and they are out of stock now. Maybe check via online. You could benefit from buying a whole case or more I cannot LOL
Best tip:
“Don’t use your hands to test your soldering iron......use your face”
😂
Allan, you’re a legend 👍
just...near your face!
Yea I forgot that part 🤔

Heck yeah!
Very inspiring, working creativity! Great to start the day with such a video! Mrs. Shannon sculpting! I've never seen! what a joy!
its great to see her sculpting too!
I love this. I like creating little working robots out of trash and junk
That was awesome! I love dollar store hacks and I love junkbots! Thanks Allen
me too buddy!
love these dollar store builds
me too!
I seriously love watching the creativity you have.
thank you, so kind!

movement in props/ pieces is always a good thing!
LOVE it! You ROCK Allen! Let's see a body!
soon!
I used to watch your videos in middle school, now here I am, a senior in college, and watching your videos again!
Welcome back!
Great idea! Lots of modifications with that build. I see a whole tribe of evil snowmen!
they certainly could be!
Fantastic creativity. It would make an amazing mechanical Chinese dragon head. I actually thought that's what it appeared to be in the brief intro, love it!
That would be cool!
Robot looks awesome. Loved seeing you create it with cheap parts from dollar store.
Thank you! Cheers!
2 of my favorites combined You and Dollar Tree love it
Horaay!
Awesome build 👏 that's how the magic happens!!!!
You got that right!
Thanks for this, I've been gathering pots and pans for a while, and wanted to make a robot. With your guidance I think I can get it done! Thanks so much!
You can do it! Go make stuff!
You have such a fantastic imagination!
why thank you!
Bro....that is such a fun and creative idea. And that thing you said at the beginning made me think of audrey from little shop of horrors
i dont make any of these props but it sure is fun watching you make em, awesome videos sir
I will be making more of these soon I think! Im glad you like the videos! thanks for watching!
Man what an awesome imagination you have! Really cool.
Thank you! Happy Halloween!
That's so cute. I think my daughter would make something like that not sure about the drill part haha .cool stuff and ideas.
What a fun RUclips Wednesday! Nice job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I had planned on making a robot with Home Depot stuff and this inspired me immensely. Thanks. Great job
Glad I could help!
This is a far better video than dollar tree farmhouse decor!
is that a thing?
@@StiltbeastStudios it sure is! Dollar store decor knows no bounds
that is awesome. I would love to see a body build for this.
soon!

it takes a bit of time and training your mind. Pretty sure Im doing the whole body as Christmas decor lol.
Great job. Anyone can do it. That’s why you’re the master and one of the students.
I love making things this way!
This came out awesome.
I was happy with it
I love that. I'll have to make this.
Go make stuff!
How awesome is that!!
I was happy with it!
Amazing work !
Thank you! Cheers!
DT bowls also can be used for making some decent urns.
indeed!!

dont forget flower pots!

That is awesome! thank you for sharing- Go make stuff!
This is so awesome !!! love to create stuff like that.
It really is fun!
I was home before the lockdown and lost my passion...you get me running to my art room where I can stream your show. Wow I saw plants robots. Awesome AWESOME.
Run to the art room! YOU CANNOT BE CONTAINED!!! GO MAKE STUFF!!!
I was imaginative. Always informative. Always always entertaining.:-)
Thanks! Have a great Halloween!
Brilliant. Would have no idea looking at the final product that it’s made up of so many easy to get (and cheap) items. Love these! Could you use your barrel bodies for these heads?
absolutely- Im looking at a bunch of home depot flower pots for my next robot body.
Very cool. Amazing what can be done with Dollar Tree trinkets. What Glue Gun are you using and what Glue do you recommend? Thank you.
this one is the baby brother of what Im using and uses normal glue sticks. the one in this video Is the 300W version and uses larger than standard glue sticks. I use a glue stick from the same site formulated for plastics. I keep about 12 types of glue stick on hand.

You crazy, you know that right? Totally awesome 👌 make the whole body! 😁
That's the plan!
I'm going to have to do this next year for Halloween turn up pretty cool
I think I will make the body as well!
An ideal creepy Christmas toy present. 👍👍
Totally!

so much work, but sooo worth it.
@StiltbeastStudios I believe it must have spent a lot of hours making it by hand
Your videos are all amazing
no, like five of them really suck lol. but Im glad you like them! happy Halloween!
Great Job on this project. I am in the midst of building one myself. I used rust-oleum black paint, then put on the metallic silver. It bubbled up. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
maybe the black was still off gassing, a bit more cure time may be required between layers for you.
Cool! Now for the body!🤪
soon!
This is brilliant
thanks, go make stuff!
@@StiltbeastStudios you have totally inspired me to attempt to be creative
Great ideas! BTW I use Dollar Tree flip flops to resole my crocs when the soles get too smooth. Just cut off the straps and superglue them on the bottoms of my crocs.
Great tip!
Any plans to do a lion mask? I'd like to see how you'd tackle the fur?
like a robot lion or a latex lion mask? I have done a few of those.
This is so awesome!!! I love how your brain takes a bunch of arbitrary objects and turns them into a work of art. I would love to see a body build cause it's his birthday, and he is so hard to shop for, it would be the perfect gift. LOL 😆
Happy Birthday Robo Death BEar!
Great Idea! Very Creative. What drill bit are you using to make the holes?
Never mind, just saw that part of the video

Love it
This came out great with the cool metal look. 🤖 I was at Dollar Tree yesterday getting pool noodles and saw the litter scoops and thought of using them for the mouthpiece of a mask like the Apocalypse Masks.
I have used them for that before lol.
This is so cool!
closest thing you will get to a clown from me lol.
Allen, what color black did you Prime with? What do you clean those dry brushes with?
You are so creative.👍
most likely canyon black from 2X
I dont clean my brushes.
100brushes cost me $14 so they are .14 each. cleaning a brush out takes 5 min to do it well. if I pay myself $20 and hour then I lose a quarter every time I clean a brush. I have end of life uses for the handles so I keep those.
I always appreciate things like this. It's great to sculpt from scratch but it's ingenious to grab bowls and make a robot bear haha
this is sculpting really, shaping what you want out of what you have available.
@@StiltbeastStudios in a sense
I got my Dollar Tree stuff for this build!!!
I want to see pics!
What paint do you recommend for painting plastic that won't peel off?
its not just paint its prep. you can lightly sand it, you can paint it with spray adhesive first, you can use the purple pvc primer first- those are all viable techniques.
@@StiltbeastStudios thanks for your insight. Since you mentioned lightly sanding, it made me wonder about a light duty airbrush sandblaster. Turns out that's a thing. Have you ever tried that?
Those foam edges would definitely look great for a Steampunk gear.😲
Totally!
Wow thank you
Shoulda left the ziptie tails from the pistons and added a ping pong ball or something a bit heavier. Could get motion similar to what you do for your dementors
possibility.....
Sweet !
Thanks!
What did you use to clean off the eyes?
99% alcohol
I almost skipped this one because, at this time, I have no interest in a robot. I'm so glad I didn't. I need to start thinking outside the box more. So thanks again for more wonderful ideas.
glad you like it!
thats epic man
why thank you
@@StiltbeastStudios welcome
Getting so much possessed killer animatronic fnaf vibes out of this except the prop looks as if it's made of metal, so it actually looks as if it's made to kill
I love the five nights at freddys concept- I built a haunt around it for Dark hour with one of my characters.
Yeah its pretty freaky and definitely gruesome, dead kid spirits powering some chuck e cheese bootleg animatronics at night, either way greater build and also thats pretty cool man, i would have love to have gone to that haunt.
Love these dollar tree builds but everytime i go to dollar tree i can never find the materials they use lol
you could if you did this one- and dont obsess over exact- its all about general shapes
I just realized you didn't stick your hand in front of the heat gun to make sure it's hot.
the power of editing lol.
Allan, you were born to make puppets
I have made quite a few
I love the "Wednesday nights at Allen's" bear! He is amazing!! Thank you for sharing this! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
My disney mickey mouse nightmare!!!
could be!
Just the bear necessities.
do you have to use only kodiak and grizzly tools if you make a robot bear?
Nicotine spray paint is a thing!!!!? I been using concrete stain!
www.worldpaintsupply.com/movie-paint-nicotine-spray-paint/
@@StiltbeastStudios thank you Sir!
nice
Thanks
Just looks like a bunch of bowls, glued together!!!!
You’re awesome the way you think
its a muscle I flex- its not any better than anyone elses, I just work it out.
Use the orange ball halves and paint the center section black to look like cat's eyes. Just sayin'
too late! but do that on yours!
@@StiltbeastStudios Oh, I know but just throwing the idea out there for anyone else.
A small Kid could wear this with a few internal changes to make room for their Gourd
indeed!
I rather doubt that plastic is polycarbonate, it is most likely styrene!
yeah, there about six types in that build Im sure- many are not recycle labeled on the bottom for identification. They do have polycarbonate cups in there that I use a lot.
today on "dont do this with allen hopps".....
everyday!
I’m mad that Dollar tree isn’t giving the stores the black Christmas trees. I don’t want to buy a whole case.
black trees?
@@StiltbeastStudios yes they sell them check it out online.I have cases of the green and white ones but I use them to make different shaped wreaths by taping them together at the base. There are many possibilities. I thought about bringing them back.
