A guide for this piece: about $54, 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.

A period soft vinyl figure of Tiger Mask II by Popy, with its cape and belt.
The Piece
The second generation hero of the 1981 series stands in blue tights with a champion belt, under a red cape lined in tiger stripes. The copyright mark is moulded under the foot. This is the standard size, not the large type with lifting hood.
Tiger Mask II and Popy
At Kajiwara's suggestion, New Japan Pro-Wrestling created a real Tiger Mask to coincide with the sequel anime, and on 23 April 1981 Satoru Sayama walked to the ring at the Kuramae Kokugikan in Tokyo as Tiger Mask to face Dynamite Kid. He left New Japan in 1983 and later wrestled for the UWF as The Tiger and as Super Tiger.
Bandai formed Popy in July 1971 to sell character goods, and it became best known for its die cast Chogokin figures, the first of them GA-01, Mazinger Z; Popy was folded back into Bandai in March 1983. This standard size figure of the second Tiger Mask keeps its cape and belt. More Showa character toys are gathered on the soft vinyl shelf, and our guide to Showa tin plate and soft vinyl toys explains how they were made.
