A guide for this piece: about $105, 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 Hero for After Dark
Glow editions are the quiet favourites of Japanese soft vinyl collectors, and at Big Scale size Atom becomes a luminous presence in a dark room. Kept sealed and away from light, this one has never spent its charge. It is the edition that rewards turning off the lamp.
Best for: Big Scale completists, glow edition collectors

The OG Glow edition of Secretbase's Big Scale Astro Boy: about 45 cm of phosphorescent soft vinyl that drinks in light and gives it back in the dark. Never opened, and kept away from light since it arrived.
The Piece
By day the figure reads as a pale, milky Atom, the body cast in luminous vinyl with black hair, black trunks and red boots painted over it. Switch off the lights and the whole body glows, turning Tezuka's robot boy into a nightlight hero. The glow edition is one of the most loved variants of the Big Scale line, a nod to the luminous soft vinyl toys of Japan's collector shops.
This example is still sealed in its bag and bubble wrap, so the photographs show it as it travels, and it comes in Secretbase's own printed carton. The Desk can photograph it glowing on request.
