Some of them look like classy version of "the glowing torso" (a mannequin turned into a handmade lamp that we got from friends and that was lost in our move from Madison to Rochester, to our disappointment). The Godzilla was a birthday gift to our older son several years ago, and I think it just came from a toy shop in our neighborhood. It looks like the Godzilla himself was made in China in 1997 by Dor Mei. (He's got U.K.R.D. on the other foot, seems to be another manufacturer of toys, or else Godzilla is part of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKRD_Group" rel="nofollow">a media company</a>. I wouldn't claim to know all the secret lives of Godzilla.) I really like the lights at your shop Kym!

I was wondering where did you get your Godzilla from? We manufactured this model as a light at our shop, but unfortunately lost contact with the maker of the toy. He mysteriously disapeared.... look forward to hearing from you! Regards, Kym Hello, funny thing to do with Godzilla toy! I was wondering where did you get your Godzilla from?

In it, Michael Dexter says that the 100-meter Godzilla would weigh about 60,000 tons, which is quite close to what we found. [The 50-meter Godzilla weighs 6820 tons, so the 100-meter Godzilla would weigh 8 times as much, or about 54,560 tons. Except for his probably-too-weak skeleton, his probably-way-too-high blood pressure, and a host of other medical ills.
