A guide for this piece: about $147, 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.

Machinery Turned to Starlight
This colourway trades painted machinery for a field of silver glitter, so the robot inside Atom reads like a night sky. Sealed and boxed, it is the version that keeps its sparkle exactly as it left the studio. It pairs naturally with the gold and full-colour editions.
Best for: Secretbase collectors, Tezuka shelves, sealed-condition buyers

Secretbase's Big Scale Astro Boy in a silver glitter mecha edition: about 45 cm of soft vinyl in which half the face, the chest window and the lower legs sparkle with suspended silver. New and still sealed in its bag, with the box.
The Piece
The silhouette is the classic Atom, black hair in two sharp points, green belt, black trunks and red boots, but the machine beneath the skin has been turned into light. One half of the face is clear vinyl packed with fine silver glitter and traced with panel lines, the chest window is filled to the edge with the same sparkle, and the shins and wrist cuffs are cast in clear glitter vinyl that fades into the red of the boots.
Secretbase, the Tokyo soft vinyl studio, makes the Big Scale series in Japan in small runs, each colourway reinterpreting Tezuka's robot boy. This one has never left its protective bag, and travels in the studio's own printed carton.
