Transformers Masterforce - D308 Browning

Hi to all, this is my very first review on my own vintage toys, apologize if my pics are not clear and Singlish.

I got this Browning like way back in 1998 (i guess...) from ebay, during that time my Dad, I would say was influenced by me in collecting these wonderful vintage transformers. I remember we would always spent nights till like 3am almost everyday scourging through Transformers on ebay pages by pages. Thanks Dad!!!



Mr Browning covered in plastic wrapper to prevent chrome wear

I wonder if anyone remember this little guy who was given to Cancer (Squeezeplay) by Mega (Overlord) in the Transformers Masterforce Series Episode 20. He was a cutesy little fellow in the series but as a toy he looks kinda mean.



Left side view of the gun: (Notice the wordings of BROWNING -M1910)

This nice little toy actually has quite alot of nice detailing especially the hand grip, safety latch and some sort of gun manufacturing logo just above the hand grip.



Another view seems like Mr Browning is ready to lock and load anytime to shoot down some Autobots



Either the yellow knob or the trigger can be pressed to shoot out missiles (yellow pellets which I didn't show)



A pity this side of the pistol has started abit of chrome wear.... sob sob.... :(

It has that metallic chrome finish that makes it feel like a real pistol, however the hand guard is abit small (maybe i have gigantic hands?) but you still can put your finger in the trigger guard, hold it press the trigger to fire away like a real pistol.



After some transformation, "poof!!!" out comes Browning in robotic form

Not enough firepower?

In the Masterforce series, Browning himself was actually brown or bronze colour. However, in this toy it is silver chrome which i like much better.

A few more pics of him, i just can't get enough of him, easily posable, shiny look and simple transformation with gentle force.

There is a diaclone of it which is red in colour instead of blue parts you see in this Browning. The diaclone had yellow weapons whereas this had painted silver chrome.

Accessories: 4 Fists, 5 Bullets (Yellow Pellets), 2 Guns

All in all, I had fun firing those yellow pellets with this toy the moment I got it. It would be better if the pellets were smaller and the cartridge present to load and simulate like those spring airsoft pistols. I personally don't see this in ebay for sale for a VERY VERY long time except for the diaclone. This is a really SUPER SUPER rare vintage transformer toy, I don't know how much this would cost now but my advice is if you see these blue version lying around for sale, don't hesitate, it is a MUST get item.
