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.

Four Bandai Ultra Kaiju soft vinyl figures of Dada, the three-faced alien of the original Ultraman, in the larger old size: faces A, B and C together with the clear version, every one still on its card tag.
The Piece
Dada arrived in episode 28 of Ultraman in 1967, a monochrome alien collecting human specimens, and its three faces made it one of the most graphic designs Tsuburaya Productions put on screen. The earlier Bandai Ultra Kaiju figures were cast a size larger than the current range, which gives the zebra striping real presence.
The A, B and C faces each wear the striped body with black hands, and the clear figure is moulded in translucent vinyl with a silver-grey head. Every figure keeps its card tag, and the backs are painted as cleanly as the fronts.
A complete A, B and C run with the clear version, all still tagged, is the way serious collectors of the old-size line want Dada, and it is seldom kept together.
