A guide for this piece: about $111, 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 demon head by Blitzkrieg Toys, pale blue with a bloodied neck, offered with its header card.
The Piece
The piece is exactly what the name says: a horned head with long black hair, painted in cold blue with red at the mouth and the cut. It is shown resting on a small wooden stand.
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.
Blitzkrieg Toys' Severed Head Demon is a horned head with long black hair, hand painted in cold blue with red at the mouth, unused with bag and header card. 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.
