Very cool! I would love to see it working! I don't know if I'm blind or if it's not there but I don't see a needle...?
I saw a photo of a full-size (or maybe 3/4 size) machine shaped like a lion before, but this one is new to me!

The other machine designed is that of a clown and is even more rare. My understanding is that there were as few as 2 made.
