After years of Freddy Fazbear haunting screens, theme parks, and every Halloween aisle, Spirit Halloween is finally bringing him home. The retailer’s first-ever life-size Freddy Fazbear animatronic from Five Nights at Freddy’s is real, priced at $499.99, and set to arrive when Spirit’s flagship store opens August 1, 2026 in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, with additional stores following.
Spirit teased Freddy on July 15 with a two-word social post — “We’re watching you” — and Freddy’s now-famous glowing eyes gave the tell.

What the Freddy Fazbear animatronic does
The Freddy Fazbear animatronic is life-size and does what any Five Nights at Freddy’s fan is going to want it to do. Freddy raises both arms and lifts a microphone up to his face. His eyes light up and track side to side. His torso sways. And he plays Five Nights at Freddy’s game audio, including a light-up eye pulse timed to the “Toreador March” music-box theme that fans instantly recognize from the games.
In the flagship-store display, the animatronic is triggered by a Fazbear paw-print step pad on the floor. Step in front of Freddy and he wakes up.
When and where to get it
Spirit’s flagship store in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey is set to open August 1, 2026, with the rest of the seasonal chain rolling out after that. As of this posting, Freddy does not yet have a dedicated product page on spirithalloween.com — only the retailer’s existing Five Nights at Freddy’s costumes and plush lines are live online. The $499.99 price is from in-store signage; a live Spirit Halloween product page could appear any day, and would be the fastest way to snag one.
Freddy at Halloween Horror Nights
The Fazbear reveal lands after two years of Freddy building a real theme-park footprint. Universal Orlando debuted Five Nights at Freddy’s as a Halloween Horror Nights 34 maze in 2024, and Universal Studios Hollywood ran Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place as a marquee HHN maze in 2025 — the same year Universal put Freddy front and center at Midsummer Scream in Long Beach. Between the two HHN events, guests walked through Fazbear’s Pizza with animatronic scares of the four core FNAF characters.
Spirit’s $499.99 in-home version is the natural next step for a Fazbear fandom that has been queuing up for the HHN experience two Halloweens in a row. If you did not get in line for the Hollywood or Orlando maze, this is the closest you can get to the Fazbear Pizza stage in your own living room.
The show stage
Spirit’s flagship display sets Freddy on a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza-style show stage complete with red curtains, a brick backdrop, speakers, and an illuminated FNAF sign. Reports out of the flagship note that the show-stage backdrop seen in-store is a display fixture rather than a standard-issue accessory — an optional stage background may be sold separately, but Spirit has not confirmed that as a bundled part of the $499.99 animatronic.
For a full ceremonial Fazbear haunt in the front yard or garage, expect to source the pizza-parlor scenery separately (or build your own).
