@Dom, Great to hear you've seen the puppets - I've only seen them in a couple of collectibles shops. As the article says, wayang golek tend to be sold as tourist items, so it doesn't surprise me that on occasion they would end up in a local shop or two. What did you mean by "emailing it to me"? Do you have a photo?
