A guide for this piece: about $60, 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 soft vinyl Insect Man Amazon in green and orange, a tribute to the jungle heroes of 1970s television.
The Piece
Red eyes, a white scarf, clawed black gloves and a banded orange chest over green limbs. The figure only is offered.
A Studio Figure in Soft Vinyl
Soft vinyl figures in Japan reach back to the 1960s: Marusan, founded in Tokyo in 1947 and remembered as the country's first plastic model maker, introduced vinyl monsters from the Ultra series in 1966. Today small studios design characters of their own in the same material and release them at events and through their own shops; HIDDY, who opened the Harajuku toy shop Secretbase in 2001, has described how the Japanese word sofubi is now used by collectors around the world.
This Insect Man Amazon, attributed to Ojo Studio, has red eyes, a white scarf and an orange banded chest over green; the figure only, with marks and scuffs under the feet noted. More figures stand on the soft vinyl shelf, and our guide to kaiju soft vinyl from Marusan and Bullmark traces the Showa makers behind the form.
