A guide for this piece: about $147, 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 Golden Engine Under the Skin
The gold mecha colourway lets the machine take over from the boy, and the metallic finish gives it the presence of a trophy. Sealed and boxed, it is the most striking of the Big Scale editions on a shelf. It pairs naturally with the silver glitter and full-colour versions.
Best for: Secretbase collectors, Tezuka shelves, sealed-condition buyers

Secretbase's Big Scale Astro Boy in a gold mecha edition: about 46 cm of soft vinyl in which Atom's face, chest and limbs are worked in metallic gold machinery. New and still sealed in its bag, with the box.
The Piece
Here the robot is the whole subject. The face is gold from crown to chin, mapped with panel seams, rivets and round grey lenses for eyes, while the black hair still rises in its two famous points. Across the chest the gold continues as relief machinery, with ducts, plates and a heart-shaped core, above the green belt and black trunks. Gold cuffs close the wrists, and clear vinyl shins show gold pistons fading into translucent red boots.
Secretbase, the Tokyo soft vinyl studio, makes the Big Scale series in Japan in small runs, each colourway reinterpreting Tezuka's robot boy. This one has never left its protective bag and comes in the studio's own printed carton.
