NECA, the company responsible for the awesome Castlevania figure prototypes, has a new Simon Belmont figure on the way. It's a somewhat more faithful sculpture of Simon as he appeared in the first Castlevania on the NES. Unfortunately, only 1,000 units will be produced, and it will only be available at the San Diego Comic-Con.
We totally want this, and we are all about pixel art, but we must say that this figure, with its rounded edges and inexact paint job, looks a little more like a cookie to us than an action figure. Which actually gives us an idea!

If you guys like, I could bake up a batch of Simon cookies. Let's see... sugar cookie, chocolate-less chocolate chip, and chocolate cookie should get the right colors....

The Japanese make these pixel-art things all the time. I have a keyring somewhere of Mario in a jumping pose from Super Mario Bros. 1... It's made out of a sort of rubber... But it looks 1000 times (get it? har-har-har) better than that. Cool, yes... Could have been better? Hell yes.

Actually, if you look at the Simon figure in the package on the right, you can tell that the edges and coloring is more sharp and exact. Perhaps the larger picture of just the figure is a test mockup, and not the final design?

I went last year, everything I went for was already sold out! At 1000 units, Hmmmmm... still not worth a trip to the convention just for 1 small figure.
