A guide for this piece: about $447, 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.

Shin Godzilla at the moment the night sky over Tokyo turned violet: the X-Plus Gigantic Series figure in its Purple Edition, unopened and still in its shipping carton.
The Piece
The most famous sequence of Shin Godzilla (Toho, 2016) is the night attack, when the creature's dorsal plates and jaws flood with purple light before the atomic beam cuts across the city. The Purple Edition is X-Plus's answer to that scene, recasting its Gigantic Series sculpt in the violet glow of the film's most unforgettable image.
The sculpt is the full fourth form in a great sweeping S: the head thrown back with the jaw split wide, the tiny arms clawing at the air, the thick legs planted, and the immense tail coiling forward before it rises to a pale lilac tip. Every fold of the keloid hide is washed in deep violet, the dorsal plates and the inside of the mouth bloom in luminous lavender, and the claws are picked out in pale horn. At Gigantic scale the figure has the weight of a sculpture rather than a toy.
Kept unopened in a dark room, it travels in its original shipping carton.
