The old man is firing on all cylinders - all one of them! I'm amazed that such complex-looking motions were achieved via a single cylinder.

These are so cool. Normally the clicking and clacking of pneumatics is a big distraction in automation, but in these it seems to add to the skeletal effect. Forget Halloween - maybe having a few of these in the yard year round would keep the door-to-door salespeople from interrupting my thoughts, especially if the tombstones were inscribed SALESGUY #3, etc.
