BusyBody, A Posable Carousel Toy That Creates the Illusion of Animation Like a GIF

BusyBody is a carousel toy by Vat19 that features 10 different figures that can be posed to create the illusion of animation like an animated GIF thanks to a mirror around the middle. BusyBody is available to purchase at Vat19.

The moving figure is really ten stationary clones with slightly different poses. As they rapidly spin on the turntable, your brain tricks your eyes into seeing them as a single humanoid in action. You can pose and repose the bendy Q-Man-like figures to make BusyBody do all kinds of actions.
