Poppy Playtime fans, you win Halloween 2026! HalloweenCostumes.com has released two full-size, officially licensed animatronics from the indie horror game franchise this year: a 7.5-foot Huggy Wuggy at $349.99 and a 6.25-foot CatNap with real fog at $399.99. Both are exclusive to HalloweenCostumes.com and part of the retailer’s record-breaking 2026 animatronics lineup. If you want either one on your porch by October, we recommend buying now.
The 7.5-foot Huggy Wuggy animatronic
Huggy Wuggy stands 90 inches tall on a sturdy metal frame, wrapped in long-pile blue faux fur, with molded hands, feet, and facial features that keep him instantly recognizable from Poppy Playtime‘s Bigger Bodies Initiative arc. His arms hang free and sway naturally when he moves.
Motion detection triggers a two-phase scare:
– Phase one: he tilts his head side to side and delivers in-game phrases.
– Phase two: he leans forward, tilts his head back, and activates his glowing yellow eyes for the maximum-dread moment fans remember from the game.
He also cycles through screeching sounds, growling noises, background alarm effects, and a torso-bending motion. Controls include an on/off switch, a try-me button, and volume adjustment; a step-pad trigger sold separately lets you activate him hands-free from your hiding spot.
He plugs into a standard outlet, works indoors, and works outdoors in a covered spot (GFCI outlet required, and do not let him get wet). HalloweenCostumes.com labels him as exclusive to their store.
The 6.25-foot CatNap animatronic (with real fog)
CatNap stands 76 inches to the ears with a 55-inch depth and a 40-inch width at the front legs. He is hunched, hollow-eyed, and unmistakable if you played Poppy Playtime Chapter 3. The molded plastic head, ears, mouth, and feet are covered in very soft fleece fur, and HalloweenCostumes.com describes him as looking “exactly like the game render come to life.”
His head sweeps left to right, his yellow eyes glow, and real fog pours out of his open mouth with a red light underneath the muzzle illuminating the mist. Three audio tracks cycle through: a breathing rattle, electronic machinery sounds with footstep thuds, and warning buzzers.
Controls include a volume knob, on and try-me buttons, and a built-in motion sensor. A step pad and a fog machine are sold separately. You will want the fog machine if you plan to run the mouth effect at your haunt or on a porch. Like Huggy Wuggy, he plugs into a standard outlet, works indoors or in a covered outdoor spot, and requires a GFCI outlet outdoors.
CatNap is officially licensed and, in HalloweenCostumes.com’s language, a Made By Us Exclusive.

Why Poppy Playtime is running the retail table this year
Poppy Playtime is one of the fandoms driving 2026 Halloween retail search demand alongside Five Nights at Freddy’s, Hocus Pocus, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. We wrote about the pattern last week in The Licensed IPs Taking Over 2026 Halloween Decor: consumer search is being driven by fandom, not by retailer, and the retailer that wins the licensing rights for a given IP wins the search traffic. HalloweenCostumes.com has taken the Huggy Wuggy and CatNap animatronics; Spirit Halloween has the $499.99 Freddy Fazbear animatronic; Hallmark has the Hocus Pocus Sanderson cauldron.
If Huggy Wuggy and CatNap are the specific characters your household needs to have on the porch this October, HalloweenCostumes.com is where the animatronics live.
