Marionette Puppets @ Epcot World Showcase?

[YEKCIM]

My 8 YO daughter has been saving her pennies toward a marionette puppet (puppet suspended by strings to a cross-shaped piece, that is used to control the puppet's movements) and swears she saw them at Epcot-WS. I'm guessing that, if she did, they would be in a shop at either China or Japan. Can anyone confirm that and, if available, approximate price?

Thanks.

We are just back and had to listen to my son most of the day asking if he could have one. He is only three or I would have bought him one. They are in the china area. they are hard to mis, the vendor is out in the middle of the walk way.

China.

There's a cart out front of the pavilion that has them, for sure. I would also bet they're in the shop as well.

I think they also might be in Mexico. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks, each of you. Any idea of the cost? Her "personal" funds for this kind of thing are somewhat limited.

Saw some in Mexico - I think they were about $5. My daughter wanted one, but changed her mind.

Yes, they sell them in front of the China pavillion. Hint: take some of the cardboard 'tubes' from some coathangers to slip around the strings to keep them from getting tangled while in transit.

Thanks for the tip, BamaFan, and a great big ROLL TIDE to you! What part of Alabama do you hail from? Mrs. YEKCIM, the little YEKCIM-ette, and I reside in Hoover.
