Helpy and Funtime Freddy are different animatronics, but their designs are incredibly similar. Some fans have speculated that Helpy was based on Funtime Freddy’s design, while others theorize that he was a toy prototype of Funtime Freddy that lacked the latter version’s more “interesting” design choices. Helpy’s exact origins are unknown, so it’s hard to say for sure which came first, or if they were both designed by William Afton in the first place.
