Too cool!
I make all the stuff that isn't off-the-shelf.

Looks awesome.
I hate to even ask how much something like that would cost... Knowing right now that I couldn't afford it.
If I was ever to get them... I would have to do one at a time.
Of course if you ever do a Cambot that would be great to see too.

Did a pair a while back and sold them for about $450 each.
The parts can be had for less that that, and they are pretty easy to assemble.

Although you can still get most parts for both on eBay, except a proper barrel for Tom.

I built a whole set of the MST3K bots back in 1999 and did a silly MSTing of the Dr. Who show "Time and the Rani" right after the show went off the air on sci-fi.
They're all really easy, especially Servo and Gypsy (if you can find the correct seat). I'm glad to see people are still making these, mine have all been given away as gifts and I wouldn't even know where to get the parts any more. I'm surprised JoeCrow is still selling any stuff at all, I bought little bits from him 10 years ago and as far as I know he based his Crow eye mechanism on a little widget I sent him as a trade.

Cambot is two fruit bowls and a slide projector lens...throw about 5 inches of Gypsy drain tubing in the middle between the bowls and hotglue it all together. Takes about 10 minutes in a thrift store to find the bits and maybe another 20 to make the thing including time for the krylon primer to dry. The season 1 Cambot made out of the KTMA gypsy is a little harder, you have to find those unsafe swiss-cheese seats first.

PM sent.
I make all the parts that aren't off-the-shelf. The shoulders were actual flashlight bezels early in season 1, but thereafter they were vacuformed plastic copies, so that's what I use, too.

They look great! This is probably the most authentic puppet I've sen since the actual filming prop on the show XD
