Along with the guys in Contra, toy company NECA is also releasing a figure of Simon Belmont from Castlevania.

I dig how they used a combination of his box art appearance with his in-game color scheme. 

The figures are due later this year.

Been playing this game and I have to say it's one of most advanced games on the atari 2600. The weather changes as you progress through the race, which is pretty impressive.
