A guide for this piece: about $334, 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.

The Guardian's Last Stand
The 1999 Gamera is the most admired design of the Heisei trilogy, and X-Plus gives it the scale it deserves. The glowing amber fist turns the film's climax into a display piece. Sealed in its carton, it is a collector's example in the truest sense.
Best for: Heisei Gamera and X-Plus collectors

Gamera as he stands in the final battle of Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris, rendered at monumental scale by X-Plus in its Real Master Collection Plus line, and still sealed in the maker's outer carton.
The Piece
Shusuke Kaneko's 1999 film closed the Heisei Gamera trilogy with its darkest and most admired design: a lean, battle-worn guardian with a towering shell, flared spines and a face of real menace. X-Plus sculpts that design with the density its Real Master Collection is known for. Every plate of the carapace, the ridged throat and the splayed, clawed feet are cut deep, and the paint moves from charcoal through moss green across the plastron, washed and dry-brushed to catch the light.
The signature of this edition is the right arm. Cast in translucent amber, it recreates the fire-formed fist of the film's climax and lights from within, glowing orange and gold as it does on screen. The figure was released through Shonen Ric, X-Plus's own collector shop, and is seldom seen outside Japan.
This example has never been opened. It rests in its original outer shipping carton, printed with the X-Plus mark, the item name RMC PLUS GAMERA1999, a net weight of 4.1 kg and a gross weight of 5.5 kg. The views of the figure shown here are the maker's own photographs of the release; the final frame is this carton.
