Automatonophobia

I am not at all fond of Ventriloquist dummies but I am somewhat smitten with this Frankenstein version from the UK. Mostly because it’s really easy to drink a glass of water and go “Mrrrrrrrrrrrr”.

    This is somehow LESS creepy than a "regular" ventriloquist dummy. HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE????

    This is nice to see, I have one of these Frankenstein dummys which I bought from an antique shop here in the UK, the joints on the legs and arms are very brittle though and have come away from the dummy, so now I just have them held loose in the sleeves and trouser legs. Apart from the arms and legs the dummy is in decent condition and looks great. Where is this picture from, looks to be from some catalog.
