These mechanical marionette masterpieces are based on characters from the indie video game Machinarium, as spotted by redditor rasputin777 as he traveled through Prague.
They are beautiful and so detailed that they have controls for the eyes and mouth, along with their regular limb controls.
It makes an old puppet builder like myself all teary eyed to see the art of marionette construction hasn't died in the city of Prague.
So what's it gonna take to get people building marionettes in the U.S. again, a sequel to Team America?

One of the Team America creators once commented to the effect that if he had to choose between his mother being executed by terrorists, or his going through the production of another movie with marionettes, he would sacrifice his mother without hesitation.
