>Isn't Hiruko just a puppet, not formally a human?
I feel like things only make sense if Hiruko was a human-puppet as well. Not only does he look a lot more human-like than Kankuro's non-human-puppets, there's this whole horror-bit of Sasori explaining in excruciating detail how he is going to turn Sakura and Chiyo into human-puppets while we get a good look at all the features on Hiruko

surely the idea is that they are looking at the end-result of what Sasori is threatening to do to them right now

So if Sasori made it, does it count as a Kage-tier weapon?
