Well, for the girls... I'm pretty sure they come in a set of all four. I've seen it on eBay before. The Trigger looks like the model kit, but repainted (quite well, I'll add if so). That too, can be found on eBay from time to time. Other than eBay, I'm not sure where to find Legends stuff. _________________ (\ ºvº\ (\

I've never seen them and I assume you know the characters. However, PM me if you know where Mega Man is sold (he looks awesome)! :] _________________

I believe I've found one of them. Really expensive, mind you, but I think I found something really close to the Tron figure, what I believe to be her as sold alone. The only difference between this and the one on that site i that this one is winking. Here it is (second from the top): http://www.toysnjoys.com/rockmanfigures.html |

Hmm...about four or five years ago I read something about Yujin Toy company making DASH figures. I think those are the Yujin figures. What I do know is that the Rockman you see is not the model kit figure. I have the model kit figure and it looks very different, there's even a pic on that site that compares the model kit figure with the Rockman figure in question. Though, if they are the Yujin figures, then you would have to buy Kobuns with Rockman Trigger parts A and Kobun with parts B to assemble a Rockman Trigger figure. |

The Tron and Kobun Figures(Possible the Roll, Sera and Yuna as well), are from Capcom's "Girls Collection" series of PVC figures.

Pretty sure these were some sort of Yujin gashapon, and that each character came with a different part of Rockman...

Yes yes... I have all of them and such... They released these a long time ago. Around the time when Legends 2 came out. LBD is right, they are Yujin gashapon figures and each of the girls and kobun came with a different Rockman piece. The Kobun (servebots) are various and come in a wide variety of expressions and there is one with a red top, indicating Tronn's favorite. Tron herself has a variant with an orange vest instead of pink. The figures come with some assembly required. IE, you have to put the hair on in some cases, or attach the heads, torsos, and legs together. Roll's head is completly apart. You have to put her front and back half together, then put her hat on. I think the Kobun parts you actually need duplicates of because they contain a leg and the legs are universal or something. Which is why everyone ends up with a bunch of Kobuns. Something like that anyway. I ordered mine from eBay I think. Some guy in Japan. It's like one of the girls comes with Rock's head, complete with hair and helmet options. Another one comes with the arms\buster along with hands. The third comes with the torso and backpack. The fourth comes with the feet and "dash" attachments, and the Kobuns come with a leg each. At least, I think that's how it went... Either that, or one of the girls came with the helmet, and the Kobuns came with a leg AND foot each... It's been a while. ^^;
But they make Rockman look way more posable than he actually is... He's hard to pose without falling apart. See his elbows? They attach at the diagonal lines and only move along that track. Same with the knees. Don't get me wrong, he's cool and all, but keep that in mind when you are looking at a price tag. Also, the Tronn figure I got had two of the same feet... So she tilted horribly. Two left feet you might say. lol Literally! They come in those gashapon (bubble gum machine) balls, so the figures may be a bit warped or curved when you get them. Mine were. So you may have to take some time to bend them back into shape a bit too. Other than that, they're pretty cool. About oh...2 inches tall or so. About as big as a GI Joe. _________________ Power wielded by incompetance leads to nothing but self destruction. |

Ah this site, people always refer to it because the guy has an extensive collection on MM toys. (I wonder if he managed to get some Mattel NT Warrior toys...)
Yeah Gashapon figures are generally tiny as heck, but some have a secret extra feature! Well at least the Love Hina mini busts did, you could use the head of those and put them on the action figures. |

Well, there's always this figure:
http://www.action-hq.com/cgi-bin/action-hq/dai014238.html
Of course, it's out of stock...but they do have these:
http://www.action-hq.com/cgi-bin/action-hq/ban014245.html
http://www.action-hq.com/cgi-bin/action-hq/ban014252.html
http://www.action-hq.com/cgi-bin/action-hq/ban014269.html
They're Rockman Dash model kits. If you want JUST Rockman with a certain weapon. I have the Rock Buster one, but it was hard to get. They are certainly more posable, and a little bigger, but the elbows are totally non-posable. No bendable elbow joints like the Rockman X model kits, which sorta ticked me off, but eh. The legs are completly posable and so is the head and chest. The shoulders move a bit, but aren't ball jointed or anything. This would be another option if you can't find the Yujin Rockman. If you want the Rock Buster kit though, you'll probably need to dig around on some anime model kit sites or most likely eBay.
Oh yeah, and one more thing about the Yujin Rockman. His hip joints. They're not good. Everytime you try to move his legs...they fall off. I've been trying to replicate some of those poses in those pics and..well, so far I haven't had much luck. lol I really think they used glue in some of them. Especially that fifth one. There's no way his buster arm can be that low at that angle... O_o _________________ Power wielded by incompetance leads to nothing but self destruction. |

Thanks for the help, everyone. I appreciate it. TriggerEXE, I actually have the Rockman Buster Cannon model, it arrived in the mail just today. He also came with the Shining Laser, I was happy about that. :D |

I suddenly remembered where I got my Yujin figures from.. It wasn't eBay, it was this Japanese person. I found out by lots and lots and LOTS of searching back then. There was this site called rockman-dash.com or .org or .net or something. Anyways, I can't seem to find it anymore, but it was all about Dash\Legends and there was a message board or something. I was in contact with...someone. I think it was the owner\creator of the site and she sent me the e-mail address of someone in Japan (who couldn't speak english well, but good enough) that could get me a complete set of the Yujin Dash figures. I was super crazy about Legends at the time, so I said yes and e-mailed the person. It took a while, because they had to actually get all of the sets and then mail it from Japan. I think it ended up costing me a total of $60 or so. Figures plus shipping. That was when they were still available in machines over there. Given that they are even more rare now, I think they'd probably more expensive too. :-\
Yeah, I forgot about the extra weapon. Hehe. I wonder if the other sets come with extra weapons too. The main thing I was concerned with about the other sets was the helmet and arms. I wanted to be able to have him with just hair and plain arms as well as a weapon and there's no way to tell unless you order it. I haven't seen the sides of the boxes to see. Its kinda silly to sell other sets when the only difference is the weapons. Even with the X model kits, the colors were different. With this, it's JUST the weapon. It would be nice if you could just buy one kit with all the weapons. Heh, it would be even better if he had more articulation in the elbows, but then I'm an articulation freak.
Oh wait, did you say you got the Buster Cannon? As in this Buster Cannon?
http://www.action-hq.com/cgi-bin/action-hq/ban014252.html
Because I got the Rock Buster. The regular weapon Rock Buster. I think it came with the Shining Laser too... Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I'm thinking it did... Did yours come with helmet AND hair or just helmet? Did it come with an extra arm and hands too? Just curious to see the difference between the Rock Buster and the ones with weapons. _________________ Power wielded by incompetance leads to nothing but self destruction. |

I got all of the DASH 2 kits except for the Rock Buster
-Hyper Shell and Remote Tracker with Helmet
-Buster Cannon and Shinning Laser with Helemt
-Drill Arm and homing Missle with Helmet
Trigger, buying those same figures for different weapons isn't as silly as it seems. It comes in handy when you need replacement parts. They do come with extra hands but no hair head. Although, I really don't care about the helmetless head as I much prefer him with his helmet anyway. It's not having the Rock Buster, his original weapon, that drives me nuts. I could have gotten Rockman DASH 2 Rock Buster when I had the chance, but NOO! I had to get the Aqua Custom Rockin' Action figure instead. -_-
Though it shouldn't be a problem too much Longer. I hear the Mega Man Voulnut figure by Jazwares will include helmetless/helmeted head and a variety of accessories, the Rock Buster being one of them. |

Um, yeah, it was that Buster Cannon. I'd scan it or take a picture or something, but I haven't a clue where the digital camera is and the scanner doesn't feel like working now... But anyway, like Aqua Rock X said, it only comes with a helmet. No helmetlesss version. It does come with alternate hands, though. |
