Starter MK5
Ready to make! Every head is built to order and ships in about 3 weeks.
Not sure if the protogen life is for you? The ProtoFrenz Starter MK5 is an accessible way to find out — WF1 controller, two full-color (Full-Color Panel) LED display panels, MK5 head base, and nothing left to assemble. It arrives fully built and ready to wear.
What's Included
- Huidu WF1 WiFi controller (pre-programmed)
- 2× 192×96mm full-color (Full-Color Panel) LED display panels — smooth, high-brightness multi-color face
- Recovery USB drive with manual and backup files
- MK5 head base with PETG tinted visor
- Fully assembled — nothing to put together
WF1 Controller — How It Works
The Huidu WF1 creates its own WiFi access point. Connect from any iPhone or Android using the free LEDArt app to:
- Switch between pre-loaded face expressions
- Adjust colors and brightness
- Upload custom 64×32 pixel art faces
- Control animation speed and style
No coding required. For face inspiration and help troubleshooting, visit protofrenz.com/faces. To design and export your own pixel art faces, use the LED Display Face Maker. A Recovery USB drive with manual and backup files is included.
Note: The WF1 does not include a boop sensor or talking mouth. For those features, see the Studio tier with the ProtoFrenz 3.0 controller.

LedArt app setup, face upload guide, troubleshooting, and compatible file formats. Bookmark this before your order arrives.
Power Bank
Not included — the WF1 uses a MicroUSB power bank (5V). A compatible 10,000mAh MicroUSB power bank is available as a separate add-on in our accessories section.
Upgrade Path
The MK5 head base is compatible with LED Matrix and Full-Color Panel electronics too. If you decide you want boop sensor, talking mouth, and WiFi browser control without an app, your head base carries right into a Studio MK5 build — no new shell needed.
Not Included
Power bank (sold separately) · boop sensor · voice-reactive mouth · internal suspension/padding · fur
