In search of: Marionettes. Any leads?

I need to purchase 6 - 8 marionettes for a something I'm working on.

Contemporary clothing, not the traditional "old world" styles.

Anyone happen to know of any stores (in Orange County, CA) that sell them... or on the 'net, that are reputable?

I'll be googling up what I can find on the 'net in the meantime, but I'd also appreciate anyone's input if they happen to know of good wholesalers. (Or retailers, even)

Or, maybe one of you actually makes them....

Wow, that first link was really cool! Very surreal looking marionettes. 8)

Way out of my league for pricing, though. (25-ish max per marionette in this budget)

No time to find individual things on Ebay, though many sale items on Ebay these days do tend to have links to a pemanent business so that's a good idea too.

Here's what I came up with so far, with style that I am looking for...

The price is right (though I'd go a bit higher), and they are mostly contemporary-style and modern clothing. Just need to find something similar that doesn't look so much like muppets, and with maybe some more limb articulation points. (Bonus if they don't have huge facial expressions, so I can plaster some custom mouth-shapes on)

Thanks for looking, HailKing :)
