A guide for this piece: about $90, 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 26 cm soft vinyl figure from the cult film Meatball Machine, a half human war machine in rust red armour, with its header and bag.
The Piece
The figure has grey green flesh, a dark domed head, orange brown plating over the chest and arms, and twin lamps at the waist; one arm ends in a curved blade.
The header was stapled twice and both header and bag show wear. The figure is close to unused.
Flesh and Machinery
Meatball Machine is a 2005 Japanese horror film directed by Yudai Yamaguchi and Junichi Yamamoto, remade from Yamamoto's film of 1999, with special and make-up effects by Yoshihiro Nishimura; in it, parasites turn their hosts into armoured fighters called necroborgs.
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. This 26 cm necroborg is close to unused, its header twice stapled and worn. 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.
