fnaf help wanted actually gives us a good look at what it takes to make a fnaf 1 animatronic with its parts and service section, they are indeed battery powered to some extent. also, you have to take in account the situation the company is in at the moment of the games, as we can tell from fnaf 1, and including the lore, fnaf 1 is a much cheaper offshoot of the original freddys, not to mention that the animatronics were made with old parts, so fnaf 1's animatronics are probably MUCH cheaper then originally thought, not to mention in fnaf 1, its hard to tell what is a design choice, or a cause of them being possessed (foxy's running, etc.) and as someone who works with welding metals and stuff like that, the endo skeleton of the fnaf animatronics are definitely on the cheaper end, still expensive, probably closer to that 45k mark, and you are absolutely right about the fnaf 2 animatronics, they would be expensive af, the criminal database thing alone is more expensive then a entire fnaf 1 animatronic
The reason the fnaf 1 crew are as much as they are is because they can walk around. The ability to do that is super advanced and impossible to do in the real world
@jerakaigamez I think the fnaf 1 animatronics are not supposed to be able to move around, seeing how the bite of 87 made the company remove the freeroam feature from the animatronics. and the fnaf 1 animatronics are just the withereds refurbished, meaning that the old code or whatever for being able to move could've been left over and the spirits somehow use it to force the animatronics to move. And they would have to be battery powered since they are not wired to the stage
the fact that fnaf canonically cuts as many corners as legally possible, i'd say none of the animatronics cost more than like 75K-80K at their most expensive
@@jerakaigamezTake into consideration William and sometimes Henry built them. If your looking to buy from them, maybe. But id say they don't cost as much as you say. Remember that Afton robotics is Afton robot company, which I think Afton wouldn't pay himself for it. Its mostly just part costs.
take a moment to realize how loaded the emilys and aftons are. they have to pay 7.75 millions dollars for kids entertainment, not to mention buildings, injuries, food, e.t.c. just wow.
@@Chiptendo to be fair the games and books talk about fazbear like it's Disney in terms of wealth x10 so with that much profit 75 million suddenly doesnt seem that much of a problem
I can only assume that with the state of the Animatronics and who they had building them, it's likely Afton was extraordinarily cheap, to the point where Freddy's would probably have been insolvent from the very beginning if not for Afton. The business relationship makes all the more sense in that context that even if they were suspicious of Afton they would be bankrupt without him. Mascot costumes are only around 10 to 20% of the price of an equivalent animatronic at best, so imagine the sheer cost cutting measures to develop something like a springlock suit instead of buying a costume.
6:40 Do note that the wiki is fan-made, and may be subject to assumptions and errors. 7:45 The Springlock suits are actually able to walk around on their own, which is why Springtrap follows audio lures.
While the wiki isn't 100% reliable, the Puppet being an animatronic is factual as seen in FFPS's Puppet minigame, where it is has security functions (colored bracelet identification instead of faces and no criminal database), can freely walk around prior to possession and despite its very thin and feet lacking legs. I don't think it'd be pulling that off, especially the second, without being a full on animatronic.
The reason Freddy's alone didn't go bankrupt earlier is because of William and his tech genius capabilities he created the funtimes in some time between 1984-1986 so them walking around is definitely bot possession but during the night yes , foxy can run which is proof they could walk around before the possession , so their prices would go up by alot
With Fredbear Family Diner animatronics being the cheapest, the springlocks turn out to be really cutting costs. That seeemed to be the raason why they were created in the first place, but that always seemed kinda bonkers to me

You can actually assume that the animatronics have a Voice Box In Them To Laugh, Sing And Play the music box (for freddy). But this is only for the fnaf 1 gang because of the FNAF VR parts and service mini-game. So they could be a bit more expensive
One more thing we could take into account is how much would they cost in terms of "retrospective", as if, they wouldn't cost the same during 1990 than during 2024; the older they are, the more that collectors would pay for them. About Springtrap, I don't believe he'd be "worthless junk". Considering that he's an actual corpse in a suit, he could either: a) be bought for a FORTUNE in a black market of sorts (if corpse status is proved) b) be held by the police as "evidence" and cause an investigation (if corpse status is proved) c) be sold as a not-so-cheap horror attraction (similar to spirit halloween's animatronics) d) be bought for $3 dollars in a garage sale as an useless prop e) be bought by a youtuber for $10 dollars and get exploited for content (like those 3AM challenges) The FNaF 1 gang would deffinitely be cheaper than that, altough it's a good guess.

@@Mushragon he'd be like a walking scam, you pay a sum of money to have him for your halloween party and then he just murders you and your family and ditches back to Fazbear's frights
I feel this is low balling the prices, considering they can all move pretty fast and can leap at you. The toys at least also have the ability to crawl through the vents to get to you, implying an degree of intellect and dexterity that would amp up the prices.
8:26 in the last section here regarding spring lock failures, you forgot an important factor, which is worker's compensation laws, which would result in a much higher cost, at a minimum they would be liable to pay half the yearly salary of the employee, either for the rest of their own life, or to their spouse until the deceased would reach retirement age. This adds a minimum of approximately 300k to each incident, without factoring in that worker's comp lawsuits can reach settlements 5-8 times higher than the legal requirement.
Should also consider the fact lethal springlock failures and just springlock failures in general were kinda rare, and did not happen often, with them slowly failing most of the time and giving good amount of time for the worker to escape the suit with enough help, and when well maintained would be hard to trigger on accident.
If Fazbear Entertainment payed for maintenance on the FNaF 1 animatronics while they're possessed, wouldn't that *technically* be like paying for child support without the mourning parents actually getting anything? 🤔
30k for a shark attack sounds very low. The games are set in the US, where medical prices are in an absurd state. 30k is what the victim of the shark attack might owe if they have insurance, but Freddy Fazbears would also be on the hook for what the insurance itself payed to the healthcare providers and facilities, which adds a 5x-10x multiplier. And if the springlock victim is uninsured, Freddy Fazbears could be on the hook for chargemaster prices, which are generally absurd and exist only to make insurance companies feel good about their deals with their in-network providers and facilities.
I'd almost go so far as to suggest that the Spring-suits are on the upper-end of expensive. Not quite the toys, but not on the low level of the FNAF1 bots either. A technology that can minimize animatronic devices down to a wearable state without changing the shells would probably be a hell of an investment to develop and produce. Regardless of whether the parts used cheap materials or not, those suckers are CUSTOM. ..and we all know how custom-spec parts can drive costs through the roof, across the board for both production as well as maintenance.
Unless i understood it wrong the springlock suits have almost to no animatronic devices on them, their main thing is allowing for both a human and an endoskeleton to wear it, its only animatronic devices would be its AI to detect sounds of children and move towards it.
I liked this video, though just one detail, the withered animatronics were retrofitted with facial recognition technology, which is why the Freddy head works on them too
@LakaeFau it wasn't that Foxy was upgraded just "twitchy" as Phone Guy described him. Considering he's always been the broken one, it's probably that he's so broken the upgrades and repairs didn't work.
The fnaf 1 characters have cyberamic endo head designs and they do not use hydraulics they use servo motors. The phone guy literally says to keep their servos from locking up. And the tape girl in the movie said they use rechargeable lithium cells. And servos use batteries like lithium batteries.
Spoilers for the week before, 2:33 TWB says that the fnaf 1 animatronics do need charge and charge using something on the floor of the stage (I forgot exactly what it was)
I think you forgot to account for the time and place these animatronics were made. (Ie Utah in the 80s) and you forgot that fazbear is building these in house so they would probably run a bit cheaper.
I didn't mention it but I was basing the prices off how much they are when they were made. The reason they are pricy is because of how advanced they are. No animatronic in real life can walk around freely, but I had to take into account the in universe properties otherwise the toys would be $15million a pop
@@jerakaigamez Actually have you seen the droids that Disney has introduced to the parks? I think they are remote controlled but still they are animatronics that walk freely (ie without assistance being held up). I see your sentiment though. I still think it would have been cool to do a video with a bit more research into the time period these were supposed to be made and the technologies available that possibly could have been used in the characters and how much they would have cost at the time. I feel like large numbers (over a million) are so hard to comprehend so breaking up the costs of the parts may have been a cool way to handle it.
I'd love to see the same thing for other entries. Even weird ones like the Nightmares would be interesting to see, as the the Tales from the Pizzaplex short story Dittophobia revealed that they are real. (The nightmares in 4 are still dreams, but they are partially based on fear experiments done in the SL private areas. And it doesn't matter how people may think the games and books are and/or aren't connected, these stories are designed to tell us things that the games haven't regardless.) I'd especially be interested if you looked into the Fanverse games' animatronics, even if just to see more of an unfortunately mostly ignored part of the franchise. Those Fanverse games being the Five Nights at Candy's and Popgoes series of games, as The Joy of Creation and One Night at Flumpty's games as cool as they are don't feature animatronics. (The entities in TJoC take on the form of animatronics but aren't actually animatronics.)
Well, regarding mangle, he actually may cost a lot more, due to her capacity of being disarmed and rearmed tons of times, and after all that, still working just as fine (except for his voice box, thats just fucked up) also, he can literally walk trought the roof. Aside of that, great vid!
Hi there! I know that this video would have been recorded wayyyy before the book was released, but the new book "the week before" states that the animatronics are battery powered, and they go on rechsrging pads while they're on stage. This is what allows them to walk around for birthday parties etc, so they have some limited battery charge that powers them. It also states that freddy is the only animatronic with an actual music box. The laughs are supernatural. Foxys singing is pre-recorded audio from pirates cove, just like how when the animatronics perform they would be "singing" pre-recorded voice lines. Edit: the puppet would actually be quite expensive as it is a security puppet that can access any room and is programmed to track coloured wrist bands. Also you're forgetting this is set in America so hospital bills are WAY higher, insurance is a scam. Also the series takes place from the 80's to 2015 so inflation is a thing
The animatronics seem to be charged from some kind of charging pads on the stage that connect to the bottom of their feet. This is mentioned in The Week Before, and it's interesting because it kind of explains why the animatronics are less active at the start of the nights, and why they sometimes return to the stage
Considering William and Henry built a good amount of the animatronics themselves, the costs will probably drop significantly. I'm guessing its more on parts, materials, manufacturing, and the ai programming takes most of the money, with programmers taking a good chunk of the costs. Although I would say the money on the toys are a little too high, a walking animatronic for a Children's establishment would probably be revolutionary, both in 1987 and even today; making programmers hella expensive and animatronics like toy Freddy to somehow walk perfectly balanced is gonna be pricey WITH THE ADDITION of facial detection. The toys being one of the priciest is definitely a possibility, with the SL Animatronics being the most expensive. I would also make maintenance costs a little higher, especially for the Chica animatronics.
Do you think foxy being able to run is because its a design, or is it because he doesn't have the bulky animatronic parts on his legs like the other's do? Cause he and mangle are the only pre fnaf 5 characters with special movement besides walking, so would running be considered a feature or just a side effect of their lack of repair?
The Week Before says that the FNaF 1 crew do actually need to be regularly charged, possibly a reason as to why the building has a limited power supply- so that they don’t overcharge.
For as technologically advanced the springlock suits are for doubling as animatronics and costumes, i feel like if will and henry just thought about it for 5 seconds they'd realize just having separate animatronics and costumes would be a lot safer, cheaper and all around just more efficient
ima tell you right now a full chuck e cheese/showbiz pizza band was never more than 200k AT MOST. and that's not just animatronic characters, that is show control systems, electrical, wood for the stage, curtains, curtain valances, curtain motors, lights, sceneric props, air compressors, and then your big bunch of animatronic characters plus smaller prop characters. 200k. AT MOST. a single character was not worth more than $3,000 a piece. given the advanced technology in the five Nights at Freddy's characters, maybe 10 to $15,000 a piece.
I dont know how advanced they are, but i found comparing everything that the five nights at freddys characters would be that much. Being able to move around is HUGEEEEE
I've always thought that the closest real life analogue to the FNAF animatronics would be the Boston Dynamics Atlas robot, considering they're fully mobile and capable of walking and jumping on battery power
@@jerakaigamez Yes but they're literally the only real life analogue with the same mobility along with others like the new Tesla humanoid robots. This is also why I don't get the people who say FNAF was ruined by sci-fi when the premise of two random men that are so supernaturally good at engineering that they're building robots more advanced than we have today in the 70s and 80s is literally sci-fi. With that same premise since all the R&D was done by the founders of Freddy's your estimate is more accurate than the defense money that BD received
I'm assuming this would be the cost if we in the present day were to buy one of these animatronics as if they exist in the present, right? (Hence Mangle's price being lowered because of her quality, not the price Fazbear would have had to pay to commision her in the first place.) How different do you think the prices would be with the change in currency over the decades, or even just the difference between Fazbear commisioning them vs an outside buyer purchasing them used? Very interesting concept, really drives home how INSANE the idea of so many animtronics existing is in this universe lol. I'd be really curious about Sister Location myself. And Security Breach but given how futuristic the tech is and the sheer number of robots, I imagine it'd be a nightmare to calculate lol
FNAF 1 Bonnie would probably be a little cheaper than you estimated, when you consider Bonnie reuses Freddy's body construction and likely cosmetic patterns, saving the cost of having to make a unique body pattern for Bonnie
Please, continue this series! I'm so curious about your calculations on Sister Location and Security Breach... I can feel the entirety of the world's money leaving the earth for those models.
I'm certain DJ Music Man costs $20 Million to $40 Million on his own. I can't really do the proper math right now, but I feel like that's a pretty accurate estimation.
Bro Marionette gotta cost a fortune, think about it, it can traverse Freddy’s via some type of levitation meaning on top of AI it has anti-gravity modules or something, usually ghosts can’t manipulate the suits this much so just assume it’s a feature
@@jerakaigamez sorry I should’ve specified that about half the *movie*’s budget is on advertising, not the actual pizzaria. It’s also sorta an average that most film analysts use
i would argue that mangle is actually more expensive depsite its state. because if i remember right, she cna be easily dissasembeled and put together by kids. so she is modular animatronic who can work with modules in different places. so id say she is the most expensive
“They can’t do physically impossible things even if they are possessed” Mangle can literally crawl on the ceiling and it shouldn’t be possible since in FNAF ar had a email talking about how they couldn’t get the mangle animatronics to crawl on the ceiling unlike the original Mangle
Dude i think the springlock suits are mutch more expensive than you think they are, they have the ability to walk even in animatronic mode and be attracted to sound cues ( the phone guy says it in fnaf 3 ) they have a mechanism that changes the voice of the performer wearing it to the voice of the animatronic character ( in the books ) and if only one performer is using one of the suits due to advanced technology they can take control of the other animatronic ( the original trilogy of books ) also they might have a digital map layout of the building when they are in animatronic from and they are walking around ( the phone guy says it in fnaf 3 ) I know most of this stuff is unrealistic at best but i think it still drives up the price by a lot. Ps Sorry for the broken english
You're wrong with the puppet, from minigame we know that she was supposed to watch for Henry's daughter and that she can move, so she totally was about the same cost as Toy animatronics.
technically Mangle was meant to be like that, with having the ability to being taken apart and put in different shapes so they would cost more- but that makes me wonder, why are they letting kids take apart and put back together an animatronic? isn't that dangerous?
Now try to work out sister location They are junk but the technology is insane regardless of if it’s prone to failure (also it brings up maintenance costs)

Regardless of whether the parts used cheap materials or not, those suckers are CUSTOM. ..and we all know how custom-spec parts can drive costs through the roof, across the board for both production as well as maintenance.
I think in universe its implied that its part of a budget cut solution
Unless i understood it wrong the springlock suits have almost to no animatronic devices on them, their main thing is allowing for both a human and an endoskeleton to wear it, its only animatronic devices would be its AI to detect sounds of children and move towards it.
Imagine the glamrocks would definitely cost about 6 million dollars on one

I liked this video, though just one detail, the withered animatronics were retrofitted with facial recognition technology, which is why the Freddy head works on them too
Thats not true, the freddy head was to combat a glitch where they see you as an endoskeleton after hours
I think it was implied they have some but I feel they also weren't fully upgraded. They started fitting them but never finished
@@jerakaigamez foxy was equipped with tech to look through the mask
@LakaeFau it wasn't that Foxy was upgraded just "twitchy" as Phone Guy described him. Considering he's always been the broken one, it's probably that he's so broken the upgrades and repairs didn't work.
@@dejinnthedjinn5311 yes
I feel like the fnaf 1 cast all cost 75k at most I mean the fazbear is known to be cheapskates
Pretty sure the only person we know for sure was in a springlock incident was William and he obviously wouldn't sue himself.
But he would sue Henry
@@zenvariety9383 it would still shut down the business they run together. Plus William would definetely want to avoid legal scrutiny at Freddy's
Apprently in fnaf 3 training tapes, phone guy mentions how one person was affected (if its crying child imma die)
True that would be a petty move he would do
William could have sued Henry for the bite of 83
Fnaf 1 lore:
*reopens with a lower budget*
Also fnaf 1 costs:
Over 1 million 💀
lmao
The fnaf 1 characters have cyberamic endo head designs and they do not use hydraulics they use servo motors. The phone guy literally says to keep their servos from locking up. And the tape girl in the movie said they use rechargeable lithium cells. And servos use batteries like lithium batteries.
If true, this would make them wayyyyy more expensive since i picked hydrualics so the moving around would make the most sense
@@jerakaigamez yeah plus if we look at the real life movie version they use servos (:
Yeah and they cant move on their own they need puppets

I don't want to know how expensive the Funtimes are. I can feel my wallet dying at the thought.
too much...
Spoilers for the week before, 2:33 TWB says that the fnaf 1 animatronics do need charge and charge using something on the floor of the stage (I forgot exactly what it was)
I think it just says they use charging platforms on the stage
Maybe thats true idk i couldnt find anything
I think you forgot to account for the time and place these animatronics were made. (Ie Utah in the 80s) and you forgot that fazbear is building these in house so they would probably run a bit cheaper.
I didn't mention it but I was basing the prices off how much they are when they were made. The reason they are pricy is because of how advanced they are. No animatronic in real life can walk around freely, but I had to take into account the in universe properties otherwise the toys would be $15million a pop
@@jerakaigamez Actually have you seen the droids that Disney has introduced to the parks? I think they are remote controlled but still they are animatronics that walk freely (ie without assistance being held up). I see your sentiment though. I still think it would have been cool to do a video with a bit more research into the time period these were supposed to be made and the technologies available that possibly could have been used in the characters and how much they would have cost at the time. I feel like large numbers (over a million) are so hard to comprehend so breaking up the costs of the parts may have been a cool way to handle it.
I'd love to see the same thing for other entries. Even weird ones like the Nightmares would be interesting to see, as the the Tales from the Pizzaplex short story Dittophobia revealed that they are real. (The nightmares in 4 are still dreams, but they are partially based on fear experiments done in the SL private areas. And it doesn't matter how people may think the games and books are and/or aren't connected, these stories are designed to tell us things that the games haven't regardless.)
I'd especially be interested if you looked into the Fanverse games' animatronics, even if just to see more of an unfortunately mostly ignored part of the franchise. Those Fanverse games being the Five Nights at Candy's and Popgoes series of games, as The Joy of Creation and One Night at Flumpty's games as cool as they are don't feature animatronics. (The entities in TJoC take on the form of animatronics but aren't actually animatronics.)
Heard!
Well, regarding mangle, he actually may cost a lot more, due to her capacity of being disarmed and rearmed tons of times, and after all that, still working just as fine (except for his voice box, thats just fucked up) also, he can literally walk trought the roof. Aside of that, great vid!
Possibly true haha and thanks!
the children who broke mangle might be engineers you never know
true
I dont know what this is but I'm here for it

Hi there! I know that this video would have been recorded wayyyy before the book was released, but the new book "the week before" states that the animatronics are battery powered, and they go on rechsrging pads while they're on stage. This is what allows them to walk around for birthday parties etc, so they have some limited battery charge that powers them. It also states that freddy is the only animatronic with an actual music box. The laughs are supernatural. Foxys singing is pre-recorded audio from pirates cove, just like how when the animatronics perform they would be "singing" pre-recorded voice lines.
Edit: the puppet would actually be quite expensive as it is a security puppet that can access any room and is programmed to track coloured wrist bands.
Also you're forgetting this is set in America so hospital bills are WAY higher, insurance is a scam. Also the series takes place from the 80's to 2015 so inflation is a thing
Good to know!
Had I searched for this video 11 days ago, I would have missed out. Yet here I am. Great video on FNAF animatronics. Your considerations were great.
Thanks!
while for FNaF 4 the animatronics are literal nightmares, i'm sure we could probably give them all a price due to dave's hospital bills.
Lmao probs
The animatronics seem to be charged from some kind of charging pads on the stage that connect to the bottom of their feet. This is mentioned in The Week Before, and it's interesting because it kind of explains why the animatronics are less active at the start of the nights, and why they sometimes return to the stage
Considering William and Henry built a good amount of the animatronics themselves, the costs will probably drop significantly. I'm guessing its more on parts, materials, manufacturing, and the ai programming takes most of the money, with programmers taking a good chunk of the costs.
Although I would say the money on the toys are a little too high, a walking animatronic for a Children's establishment would probably be revolutionary, both in 1987 and even today; making programmers hella expensive and animatronics like toy Freddy to somehow walk perfectly balanced is gonna be pricey WITH THE ADDITION of facial detection.
The toys being one of the priciest is definitely a possibility, with the SL Animatronics being the most expensive.
I would also make maintenance costs a little higher, especially for the Chica animatronics.
A fair point, obviously what they can do is super advanced thats why its so pricy
Balloon boy canonically has a feature where he can fill balloons with helium, but I’m not sure that would raise the price much. (I think)
damn didnt know that
We be gitting into GTAO levels of pricing🤑
lmao
Do you think foxy being able to run is because its a design, or is it because he doesn't have the bulky animatronic parts on his legs like the other's do? Cause he and mangle are the only pre fnaf 5 characters with special movement besides walking, so would running be considered a feature or just a side effect of their lack of repair?
It would be a feature. 25mph is a lot
The Week Before says that the FNaF 1 crew do actually need to be regularly charged, possibly a reason as to why the building has a limited power supply- so that they don’t overcharge.
I did not expect to stumble upon this so early in the algorithm..
fr this popped up for me 17 minutes after uploading
Hope u enjoyed
Me to
Wow this is so cool! Ive never seen a video like this its so awesome!
Glad you liked it!!
I guess that nobody had the balls to give real animatronics functioning legs!
its harder to do then you think
Question
So since Willaim got springlocked and if he survived would he just sue his own company or would he handle his own hospital bill
@monobro141 he never recovered or went to the hospital
@@CTC_EditzI just thought it would be funny if he did survive he just sues himself 😅
@@monobro141 alr

Bruh the security breach animatronics would go into billions 💀
Literally
According to phone guy, the animatronics run on servos
True!
For as technologically advanced the springlock suits are for doubling as animatronics and costumes, i feel like if will and henry just thought about it for 5 seconds they'd realize just having separate animatronics and costumes would be a lot safer, cheaper and all around just more efficient
You should do a Part 2 with the animatronics from Sisters Location, Pizza Sim and Security Breach!
Heard!
ima tell you right now a full chuck e cheese/showbiz pizza band was never more than 200k AT MOST. and that's not just animatronic characters, that is show control systems, electrical, wood for the stage, curtains, curtain valances, curtain motors, lights, sceneric props, air compressors, and then your big bunch of animatronic characters plus smaller prop characters. 200k. AT MOST. a single character was not worth more than $3,000 a piece. given the advanced technology in the five Nights at Freddy's characters, maybe 10 to $15,000 a piece.
I dont know how advanced they are, but i found comparing everything that the five nights at freddys characters would be that much. Being able to move around is HUGEEEEE
I've always thought that the closest real life analogue to the FNAF animatronics would be the Boston Dynamics Atlas robot, considering they're fully mobile and capable of walking and jumping on battery power
Those are government made though so they would be worth millions or billions
@@jerakaigamez Yes but they're literally the only real life analogue with the same mobility along with others like the new Tesla humanoid robots. This is also why I don't get the people who say FNAF was ruined by sci-fi when the premise of two random men that are so supernaturally good at engineering that they're building robots more advanced than we have today in the 70s and 80s is literally sci-fi.
With that same premise since all the R&D was done by the founders of Freddy's your estimate is more accurate than the defense money that BD received
I'm assuming this would be the cost if we in the present day were to buy one of these animatronics as if they exist in the present, right? (Hence Mangle's price being lowered because of her quality, not the price Fazbear would have had to pay to commision her in the first place.) How different do you think the prices would be with the change in currency over the decades, or even just the difference between Fazbear commisioning them vs an outside buyer purchasing them used?
Very interesting concept, really drives home how INSANE the idea of so many animtronics existing is in this universe lol. I'd be really curious about Sister Location myself. And Security Breach but given how futuristic the tech is and the sheer number of robots, I imagine it'd be a nightmare to calculate lol
@@drawingdragon my next video which is coming out in a day is covering the rest. Basing the price on how much they would be worth.
@@jerakaigamez YO awesome, can't wait to see
FNAF 1 Bonnie would probably be a little cheaper than you estimated, when you consider Bonnie reuses Freddy's body construction and likely cosmetic patterns, saving the cost of having to make a unique body pattern for Bonnie
they pay so much for animatronics, but still pay minimum wage for the nightguard
typical business practice
9:04 LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
Bruh lol
Please, continue this series! I'm so curious about your calculations on Sister Location and Security Breach... I can feel the entirety of the world's money leaving the earth for those models.
Lmao heard!
Foxy being more broken yet more expensive is so silly
He can do more
Yo this video was so much fun! Also congrats on 18k
Thank you!!
I'm certain DJ Music Man costs $20 Million to $40 Million on his own.
I can't really do the proper math right now, but I feel like that's a pretty accurate estimation.
Possibly more
How did Willaim and Henry even afford these animatronics
i have a theory...
Good content! Can’t wait for this to take off

Holy cow it took off
At least $13
Yes
That's pushing it I think
I’d say that they’re this expensive in like, modern days but they’d be way cheaper back in the 80s and stuff
it would be worth the same, its just inflation
@@jerakaigamez man screw inflation
Bro Marionette gotta cost a fortune, think about it, it can traverse Freddy’s via some type of levitation meaning on top of AI it has anti-gravity modules or something, usually ghosts can’t manipulate the suits this much so just assume it’s a feature
Obviously being pulled by strings (gotta be realistic)
3:35 sir did u forget that its cannon that bonnie can quite literally break the laws of space and time?
why dont u got 100k+ subs u are a king man

For fnaf 1, I want to point out that about half of the budget is used on advertising
they have too much money
@@jerakaigamez sorry I should’ve specified that about half the *movie*’s budget is on advertising, not the actual pizzaria. It’s also sorta an average that most film analysts use
@@NSG-kc6zl that makes sense
i would argue that mangle is actually more expensive depsite its state. because if i remember right, she cna be easily dissasembeled and put together by kids. so she is modular animatronic who can work with modules in different places. so id say she is the most expensive
possibly!
the 40k for chuck e cheese is the entire show, not each character.
Even still, the animatronics are worth alot
love your channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
oh my god the funtimes would be insanely expensive
you have no idea...
“They can’t do physically impossible things even if they are possessed” Mangle can literally crawl on the ceiling and it shouldn’t be possible since in FNAF ar had a email talking about how they couldn’t get the mangle animatronics to crawl on the ceiling unlike the original Mangle
Mangle be built different

@@Olox190 same

2:10 Do i really run like that? :P lol
yes!

Dude i think the springlock suits are mutch more expensive than you think they are, they have the ability to walk even in animatronic mode and be attracted to sound cues ( the phone guy says it in fnaf 3 ) they have a mechanism that changes the voice of the performer wearing it to the voice of the animatronic character ( in the books ) and if only one performer is using one of the suits due to advanced technology they can take control of the other animatronic ( the original trilogy of books ) also they might have a digital map layout of the building when they are in animatronic from and they are walking around ( the phone guy says it in fnaf 3 ) I know most of this stuff is unrealistic at best but i think it still drives up the price by a lot. Ps Sorry for the broken english
Thats fair! It would probs add only an extra $100K to be fair to everything
@@jerakaigamez man it still takes balls to just abbandon two animatronics that could pay for you’re whole restaurant in a back room of the building🌝

Glad you think so!

Your voice reminds me of PhoenixSC xdd
lol
bro id honestly pay for all of the animotronics if i could
For the next few games in the next video (Sister, Pizzaria and, Breach)
Be sure to account for that they take place abit into the future
Edit: Oh
Yea I did lol
You're wrong with the puppet, from minigame we know that she was supposed to watch for Henry's daughter and that she can move, so she totally was about the same cost as Toy animatronics.
Probably a bit more
I love thinking William dose not pay his taxes
probs
technically Mangle was meant to be like that, with having the ability to being taken apart and put in different shapes so they would cost more- but that makes me wonder, why are they letting kids take apart and put back together an animatronic? isn't that dangerous?
Love your vids
Appreciate it!
Now try to work out sister location
They are junk but the technology is insane regardless of if it’s prone to failure (also it brings up maintenance costs)
Itll be a pretty penny
great video
