A guide for this piece: about $45, 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.

Astro Boy as Electric Toys imagined him for its SOFVIPS line: a soft vinyl figure in the classic pose and palette, offered here in the second colourway, sealed and unused.
The Piece
The sculpt keeps every note of Tezuka's design, the two sharp points of black hair, large expressive eyes with their fine lashes, an open, cheerful smile, the green belt and the deep red boots, all rendered with a soft gloss that suits the vinyl. Jointed shoulders and hips allow a pointing arm or a ready stance, as in the photographs.
Electric Toys produces SOFVIPS in limited runs for Japanese soft vinyl collectors, and the second colourway refines the tones of the first release. A sealed example is the one to keep for a complete set.
