So when I got mine imported I had the sender Transform him into robot mode, and then send the instruction booklet and box separately. That way unless the immigration guy was a Transformers aficionado he wouldn't know the purpose of the toy robot. Worked a treat!

A simple solution - G1 Megs could be held to be the approximate size of a small Barbie doll (perhaps shorter and fatter) - next time get him in robot mode, bung a dress on him, blue-tack some blond hair on his bonce and chuck him in an old Barbie box. Shove a fake sticker on the front saying 'Barbie/Transformers Crossover' and away ya go! Unless the customs guy wants to check under his dress to look at the size of his barrel it should all be golden
