A guide for this piece: about $887, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Graffiti Meets Ura-Harajuku
At the turn of the millennium Futura, the New York graffiti pioneer, and NIGO's A Bathing Ape fused two worlds in one object: the aerosol can. Each of these three characters stands sealed inside a clear spray can, like a specimen. Together they are a compact monument to the moment streetwear and street art became one culture.
Best for: Collectors of early BAPE and Futura art toys wanting the complete trio

The complete BAPE x Futura Spray Bottle Action Figure trio of 2000: EL NIGO, Pointman and Le James, each sealed inside its own clear spray can, 20 cm tall. Unused, opened once only to check the contents.
The Piece
Futura, the New York graffiti pioneer, and NIGO's A Bathing Ape were among the first to fuse street art and Japanese streetwear, and this set compresses that alliance into one object: the aerosol can. Each character stands on a frosted amber base inside a transparent canister, capped like a real spray can and wrapped in a tinted label printed with mock operative briefings.
The three canisters are numbered 1 to 3 and coloured green, amber and red. Inside are a figure in a black helmet and harness, Pointman with his pointed white head and tactical vest, and a horned figure in a brown jacket. Futura's credit, Futura Original Design Created for A Bathing Ape, is printed on the underside of each can.
