Bring the mysterious, glitching golden animatronic bear to life this Halloween.
Golden Freddy is one of the most mysterious and chilling animatronics from the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, known for his limp posture and empty, glowing eyes.

The costume consists of a golden-yellow bear jumpsuit or suit, a black top hat, a black bowtie, and dark, hollowed-out eyes.
