FYI - you can build one of your own. Gakken did two kits a couple years ago. I got one for my buddy.

They're pretty cool, and what he does is nifty... but it really isn't much more than inventive linkage design to make the world's most overly complex tumbleweeds. I dig his shit, don't get me wrong... but he's not making "new life" he's making "new whirligigs."

Very true, they don't actually look all that complicated besides getting the ratios correct. Still fun to watch though!
