My father bought my sister and I one of those 'cones' with the inset stick puppet. I remember it quite clearly even though I was about six years old, forty five years ago. Great models here. Very impressive. The ending 'hospital' building is extremely so. Thank you for posting these tiny wonders.
ah my favorites... 0:19 ~ cat is trying to floss?? 2:55 ~ kill it! 5:36 ~ the couple you know that makes you glad your single 5:48 ~ why you keep out of my bedroom 6:00 ~ the automaton that makes you glad you're not an automaton
These were amazing! The chicken dispenser, the proposer, the canoe was excellent, and I have to say, The Cat and The Fiddle, is the best. I love the way the little kitty jiggles, that would crack me up forever :D The crank system that went into The Hospital and Spaghtetti man are mind boggling. Thanks for sharing, so interesting!
So neat! I found myself saying....that’s my favorite....no this ones my favorite...wow definitely my favorite.... although, the army hospital has got to be on top of my list of favorites....right next to the........
I owned a few of these as a child, I never thought of them as automata but I guess they were. I had the wooden chicken pecking 'bat', the clown in the cone (they used to make and sell those at the school fayre every year), and the wobbly dog with the spring loaded base (he was a generic plastic toy though). My fave toy was a wind-up tin robot that walked and emitted sparks from his chest! Thanks for the memories.
What are these things in the video? What is automata? I don't understand. And sorry for my poor language. ... Apa itu yang ada di video? Apa itu automata? Nggak ngerti. Apa sejenis boneka gitu? Apa ini masih sejenis sama mainan di permen atau mainan dengan dua roda yang bisa bunyi kalau dijalanin (nggak tahu namanya, tapi kayak mainan jaman dulu)? Tapi saya akui ini menarik. Wkwkwk.... Maaf kalah kurang jelas komentarnya.
Why the fuck make an automate of a person beating an animal?? Kids looked at that and thought it was fun ?? This is so fucking disturbing and disgusting.
Wie ist there a coffin rotating under the mill girl and the toff? Because it is her dead mother that is ashamed she would marry a toff and not another miller?
I had a cone puppet elephant when I was younger. My aunt bought it for me. My sisters had one too. I remember it. And someone commented on having one also that was the first thing that came to mind.
