During your Main Phase: You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 2 "Gimmick Puppet" monsters with different Levels from your Deck, except "Gimmick Puppet Matryoshka". You can only use this effect of "Gimmick Puppet Matryoshka" once per turn. If a "Gimmick Puppet" monster(s) would be destroyed by battle or by card effect, banish this card from your GY instead.

How this would play into flavor is that the actual Matryoshka have a number of dolls inside of them in the same way that this would take out a number of Gimmick Puppets from your Deck.

Seems solid enough as an archetype Rescue Rabbit so to speak, including  that it's Normal Summonable without Tributes. And the Secret Six Samurai-like effect is welcomed as well. However, IMO you can be even more flavorful with its Matryoshka theme. For instance, it could be a Normal Summonable without Tributes Level 9+monster, and with low stats, that Summons Gimmick Puppets from the Deck whose total Levels are equal or lower to its Level. That way, it can Summon either 2 Level4s for their recent Rank4, or a Level 8 + Gear Changer. Admittedly, this would make the effect more situational or cumbersome for the sake of flavor. On the other hand, you can add flavor with the second effect: for instance, instead of substituting the destruction, you could make it banish itself as cost to Summon a Gimmick Puppet from Deck, GY, etc. whose Level is lower than the Level of the destroyed monster. That way, Gimmick Puppets that like destruction or want to get in the GY get to trigger while you preserve your board presence.

I would be for the Level combination thing... But, unfortunately Gear Changer has to have that really awkward restriction of not being able to be Special Summoned from the Deck.

Edit: Although that floating effect isn't half bad idea... Might want to add Ranks with that though.
