A guide for this piece: about $1,842, 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.

Freight piece: please confirm delivery before purchase
This piece travels in a crate or by freight rather than standard mail, and may need careful dismantling before it can be packed. The shipping shown at checkout is an estimate. Japonista reserves the right to determine the final handling, crating and freight cost when your order is received, according to the piece, the destination and carrier conditions at that time.
We advise requesting a delivery quote before checkout. If the final cost is higher than the amount paid, we send the difference for your approval before dispatch. Your piece is held for you until it is settled.

Ten unopened examples of the Flying Balloons Girl statue in the Gesso Black version, made by Medicom Toy in its Sync. line with Brandalism.
The Piece
Each statue shows a girl lifted from the ground by a cluster of balloons, modelled in the round and finished in matt black on a white block base. The Gesso versions take their name from the chalky ground painters use, and the surface has that dry, even quality. All ten are unopened and unused, in the boxes in which they were issued.
A set of this size is seldom offered together and suits a gallery, a shop display or a collector who wishes to place the figure in several rooms.
From Wall to Shelf
The statue is modelled after a mural painted on the West Bank barrier in 2005, in which a child floats up and over the wall. Medicom Toy of Tokyo, the maker of the Bearbrick, produces the figure with Brandalism, which issues objects after the street images without the involvement of the artist. It is a design object inspired by a famous picture, not a work by its painter.
