They seemed nice.

…at first.

Then Servo took it too far!

Well, their heads also move and Crow's eyes move, but yeah, they are not all that articulated.

And yet somehow the multiple people who have played them really bring them to life.

If you haven't seen what Conor does with Servo during the Mothercrabber rap in Season 13, it's some really impressive puppetry work. Especially since Servo was apparently not on a rod during the segment, meaning what he was doing was pure arm muscle.

This is a very good point. I hope the display had some video. Apart from just being well known puppets, it's kind of a 'look at what you can do with so little' thing.

I wish it did, but unfortunately there was no video. I was also the only person who even stopped to look at them for very long. I wish there was at least a little more to tell people about the show.
