The Cabaret Mechanical Theatre Online Shop sells all manner of automata, pre-assembled, papercraft, and even a kit for DIYers. I've assembeld one of the papercraft models before and it ran superbly -- and was an awful lot of fun to put together. Link (via Paperforest)

This exact automata is in the Visionary Museum in Baltimore, I almost thought that it was being sold from their permanent collection.

RIBLETS,

This piece -- by the amazing artists at Fourteen Balls Toy Company -- is entitled Spaghetti Eater and has been produced in limited numbers a couple of times.

Best,
