It was not by our hands that these action figures were given "flesh." They were brought here by NECA, who wished to pay Castlevania tribute.
Simon Belmont, hero of Castlevanias I, II, and (Super) IV, and Alucard, of III, Symphony of the Night, and (spoiler alert, sort of!) Aria and Dawn of Sorrow, are shown here in unpainted, prototype glory. The link below has more views of Simon, but all we have of Alucard is this one shot-- for which we had to put our biohazard suits on and go into Myspace.
They resemble the beefy character art of the first NES game more than Ayami Kojima's work, and Simon's stomach isn't something that should be looked at directly, but these are still awesome. We've been looking for some new decorative items, and these will do nicely. Our desks are as empty as our souls. Blogger-kind totally needs action figures such as these.

Prototypes don't necessarily reflect all of the points of articulation in the final figure. Also, I assume they're going to put some paint on the real ones. But enough talk! Have at you!

It is not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was brought here by humans who wish to know that their Castlevania references are appreciated.

This post, along with the DS Daily post above it, are quite possibly the best written blog posts I've ever read. I bow to JC's mad skillz.
