Dollar store robot 

Best tip: “Don’t use your hands to test your soldering iron......use your face” 😂 Allan, you’re a legend 👍

Now you have to do the body, from Dollar Tree!!!

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....

That was awesome! I love dollar store hacks and I love junkbots! Thanks Allen

love these dollar store builds

Very inspiring, working creativity! Great to start the day with such a video! Mrs. Shannon sculpting! I've never seen! what a joy!

I used to watch your videos in middle school, now here I am, a senior in college, and watching your videos again!

I seriously love watching the creativity you have.

I love this. I like creating little working robots out of trash and junk

Great idea! Lots of modifications with that build. I see a whole tribe of evil snowmen!

LOVE it! You ROCK Allen! Let's see a body!

Awesome build 👏 that's how the magic happens!!!!

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!🤘🏻💀

Robot looks awesome. Loved seeing you create it with cheap parts from dollar store.

2 of my favorites combined You and Dollar Tree love it

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!!!!

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

How awesome is that!!

Man what an awesome imagination you have! Really cool.

Love it

What a fun RU-vid Wednesday! Nice job!

Amazing work !

I had planned on making a robot with Home Depot stuff and this inspired me immensely. Thanks. Great job

This thing is creepy cute. Love it!

That's so cute. I think my daughter would make something like that not sure about the drill part haha .cool stuff and ideas.

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!

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!

This came out awesome.

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.

You have such a fantastic imagination!

This is so cool!

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.

Thank you so much for this! I am working on an Abominable snowman outdoor prop and you gave me some new ideas for the head building.

This is so awesome !!! love to create stuff like that.

i dont make any of these props but it sure is fun watching you make em, awesome videos sir

Cool! Now for the body!🤪

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 😆

Your videos are all amazing

I love that. I'll have to make this.

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 was imaginative. Always informative. Always always entertaining.:-)

Great job. Anyone can do it. That’s why you’re the master and one of the students.

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.

Wow thank you

Sweet !

This is a far better video than dollar tree farmhouse decor!

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.

This is brilliant

that is awesome. I would love to see a body build for this.

You crazy, you know that right? Totally awesome 👌 make the whole body! 😁

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?

I'm going to have to do this next year for Halloween turn up pretty cool

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.

An ideal creepy Christmas toy present. 👍👍

thats epic man

DT bowls also can be used for making some decent urns.

Those foam edges would definitely look great for a Steampunk gear.😲

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.

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?

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

I got my Dollar Tree stuff for this build!!!

I love the "Wednesday nights at Allen's" bear! He is amazing!! Thank you for sharing this! 🙂

nice

Allen, what color black did you Prime with? What do you clean those dry brushes with? You are so creative.👍

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.

Great Idea! Very Creative. What drill bit are you using to make the holes?

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

Any plans to do a lion mask? I'd like to see how you'd tackle the fur?

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

What paint do you recommend for painting plastic that won't peel off?

Love these dollar tree builds but everytime i go to dollar tree i can never find the materials they use lol

Allan, you were born to make puppets

What did you use to clean off the eyes?

Just the bear necessities.

My disney mickey mouse nightmare!!!

That's Kool looks sick 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

You’re awesome the way you think

Hi Mrs Hopps

I just realized you didn't stick your hand in front of the heat gun to make sure it's hot.

A small Kid could wear this with a few internal changes to make room for their Gourd

Just looks like a bunch of bowls, glued together!!!!

Nicotine spray paint is a thing!!!!? I been using concrete stain!

Use the orange ball halves and paint the center section black to look like cat's eyes. Just sayin'

I rather doubt that plastic is polycarbonate, it is most likely styrene!

I’m mad that Dollar tree isn’t giving the stores the black Christmas trees. I don’t want to buy a whole case.

today on "dont do this with allen hopps".....
