"Dark Rock Volnutt" 4Inch-Nel Variant Announced


Naughty Rockman DASH and Mega Man Legends fans are in for a treat. Later this month, Sentinel will be distributing a "Dark Rock Volnutt" 4Inch-Nel variant at Wonder Festival. Shortly after, limited quantities will go on sale at Sentinel's website on July 30th.

For those not in the know, this figure is based on Rock's appearance when the player performs too many bad deeds. The suitcase accessory is a direct reference to the optional bank robbery sidequest from the original game. Here, players have the choice of returning a stolen case of 200,000 Zenny or keeping it for themselves. Rock's armor immediately turns jet black if you keep it!

Now, you're probably wondering how *you* can score this devilishly good figure, right? The previous dark Mega Man variant, Dark Mega Man.EXE, actually came stateside as a New York Comic-Con exclusive. I'm speculating here, but I think there's a good chance we'll see this one at a con in the coming months. If not, maybe a web exclusive somewhere like Big Bad Toystore. Point is, international fans have yet to be left out on these "dark" variants. I'll keep an eye out for you.

For now, check out more images here!

    1. That's all the zenny he earned from kicking cans into a trash bin.

    1. I rather they let the figure come out first, then get to the variations. This is just their way of saving cost for all the time and money they invested in it and, since this is in game they could get away with it. Would explain the other variations as well since there is very few things you have to change with them. X has different head sculpts so i don't think it would work as well.

    1. Awesome ? More like pathetic coming from Sentinel. Instead of Protoman, Zero, or even an ACTUAL Roll figure that isn't a model kit, we get a cheesy recolor ??? I mean really ? I'm passing up on this one...
      Or even a Mega Man Zero figure. I love that Zero. But looks like Sentinel doesn't give a damn about fans...

    2. ummm..... we ARE getting an actual megaman legends/starforce figures. you know that right? the two most OBSCURE versions of the franchise are getting actual OBTAINABLE figures. a much as i love those other characters let these guys get a little of their love please. it takes time and money to sculpt, articulate, and mass produce these characters. let's assume they are in the process of making those figures until they say otherwise ok?

    3. A simple recolor is easy to make and it is simpley for a small nunber of fans who do want it. Pass if you so choose, it doesn't mean we won't get other characters down the line. After these releases we have all 5 megamans made. Now we just need a Model ZX toy to go with the Zero's we have.

    1. Legends was suppose to have a morality system. The color of armor indicates if your good or evil. In the actual game you can still change your armor color by doing bad things but, it's just cosmetic.

  8. Wish I could afford this one, but considering that it is limited, I'll only have enough zenny when it's out of stock...

    4. They only sold it to customers on their Japanese page, and it's way sold out. Laaaaame...

    5. Yeah, I totally just paid $110 for this on Ebay... we'll see if it acually comes in the mail.
      They appear to have some people selling a version only intended for sales outside Japan. I bought one from a guy who claims he got it at Wonderfest.
      My other 4in Nels also say 'For Sales Outside of Japan only'...
