Found these guys at an antique shop today. The woman behind the counter wondered why I "wanted those ugly things" and had no idea what they were, but I think they're beautiful. I hope they were used for bunraku. but they don't quite look like the bunraku that I've seen in the past. Regardless, I'm glad that I bought them.
I'll be posting more pics in a bit if anyone is interested. I'll also dump pics and videos of bunraku and puppeteering.
bump, those look cool anon. i wish i could get into collecting puppets

For sure. What are those?

Rin Setsu A and Betsu Ten Gai from the show "Thunderbolt Fantasy", which aired last year, has a movie coming this year, and a season 2 coming next year. It's very good, and I consider it the best show of 2016.

my father used to carve ventriloquist puppets as a hobby. i wish i had pictures because they are very cool. or at least i thought they were. they were prized possessions with nice symbolic names for each. basically part of the family.

Just got to fix that nose now. Isn't there a product to fill that in?
Fix these things up and put them in a curio cabinet. Look cultured.
they are very old type Glove puppetry puppets, at least 20 years ago.
