Confession: I have at least two proper-sized boxes of McFarlane* dolls action figures somewhere in my closet. I was a huge fan of his Spidey and Spawn work and when I saw the toys I nearly shit myself. I was excited about those toys back then and wondered if they would ever do anything for the gaming industry. They never did, but luckily someone else with the same kind of high standards has stepped up to the plate.
I'm having the exact same reaction to these new figurine protypes of Simon Belmont created by a company called NECA (hit up their MySpace) in a stance that almost captures his famous stance in the opening sequence of Super Castlevania (however less chicken-legged and more steroidal) on the SNES.
Three additional toys are also scheduled for release this October: Alucard, Dracula, and Succubus(?!!). Hopefully he won't look like He-Man when the color guy is done, if any.
*Trivia: Todd McFarlane, your humble editor, and the Destructoid web site were all born on March 16. Unfortunately he has nothing to do with us, but I'm working on it.

All my lunch money during those days when to spawn toys. hahaha
I would have preferred to see Death get his own figure though. After having just beaten him in Portrait, that guy is a legendary boss. I don't think I ever defeated him in the original CV either...
