A guide for this piece: about $208, 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.

Secretbase's Big Scale Mazinger Z at 45 cm, made with Dynamic Planning and 36 Project, with a red breastplate and translucent blue forearms still in their original bags.
The Piece
The robot stands square and heavy in the proportions of a 1970s jumbo toy: black body, red chest fins, a silver head with yellow horns, and thighs and upper arms in solid blue vinyl. The forearms are cast in translucent blue and remain sealed in their original bags. The Jet Scrander wings, in red and yellow, are fitted to the back. Maker's marks are moulded in the soles: Secretbase, 36, Japan, and a copyright stamp for Go Nagai and Dynamic Planning.
There is no box or packaging. The figure itself is close to unused.
The Tokyo Soft Vinyl Scene
Since the late 1990s a small group of Tokyo studios has revived the soft vinyl methods of the 1960s toy trade: wax sculpts, metal moulds, vinyl pulled by hand and paint sprayed through masks. Runs are short, colourways are rarely repeated, and many releases are sold only at a single event or by lottery. The result is a collecting field that sits between the toy shelf and the gallery, followed as closely abroad as it is at home.
