    I've tried running this through Google and eBay and I'm amazed at how few results I got...

    I just got my hands on a knockoff of Browning, the red one with a yellow gut and guns. Still has his box that takes from the Microman box design, his tray, all his parts, diecast and still in good shape. But since I had zero luck in determining how much it may be worth if anything, I was hoping someone had some insight, when was it released, how valuable it may be, regions it was released in, etc. Anything anyone has would be great, thank you.

    As stated, he looks identical to the Microman version of the toy right down to the stickers, the only changes are the copyright is gone and his weapons aren't chromed, they're orange.

    The box is the only major change, it features similar details to his Microman packaging but all english, no artwork, and pretty plain.

    Back in the day this piece boxed sold for $30.00 to $45.00 shipped. But now I've seen this piece go for over $100.00. I got a loose one with both fist for $20.00 in the junkion exchange. I think this thread would be better in the Toyark.

    Thanks Liokaiser... any idea how old it is? There's no date on the box but it looks really old, even for a knock-off package.
