In what's becoming a tradition for modern series titles, Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles came bundled with a special bonus item, provided by toy-creating company NECA, for those who pre-ordered the game from GameStop or any of its affiliates. Available, as described by the retailer's website, was an "8-bit Castlevania Simon Belmont figure," which looks every bit like its description implies--a figure made to resemble Simon's pixel-based standstill profile as seen in Castlevania. The item must have been limited in stock, because it quickly disappeared and was replaced by a very similar item: "An 8-bit Castlevania II: Simon's Quest Simon Belmont figure," which is a simple re-coloring of the figure to resemble the character's Simon's Quest profile. Below is the packaging, as shared by both versions, and the actual figures.
