A note was recently sent to me regarding my earlier post on porcelain Godzilla figurines.

Hi -
I recently found your webpage concerning the porcelain Godzilla
mystery and, having one of these my sister bought, I left a
comment in that regard (repeated by mistake).
After talking to my sister, I just wanted to add a little more information.
She says the porcelain Godzilla came from a shop just outside the
back gate at Misawa Air Force Base in Misawa Japan. They sold masks,
porcelain monsters/ action figures and noritake china. Possibly a
shop called China Pete's. This was in August of 1985. Hope this
helps your investigation.
CraigThanks, Craig! Yes, it does help as, for the first time, we have a location where some porcelain Godzilla figurines were sold. Craig also included the photo at top of this blog post.

Anyone else have one with a good story to tell?

UPDATE (7/25/17):
According to Sean Linkenback, who wrote a book on Godzilla collectibles, these porcelain Godzilla likely originated from China.
