Quick verdict
Choosing between these action figures comes down to whether your display needs one small scene accessory or a character-centered two-figure set. The 1/6 Scale VSS Gun Metal Model is the direct fit for building a 12-inch figure scene and is explicitly intended for display. The NECA Contra Bill & Lance Video Game Appearance 2-Pack takes the character route, pairing Bill and Lance with articulation, a pixel-inspired paint treatment, and game-themed accessories.
Pick the VSS model when a military-style scene detail is the goal. Pick the Contra set when the appeal is the Contra franchise and a pair of posed characters rather than a single accessory.

Where each action figure pick wins
Choose the 1/6 Scale VSS Gun Metal Model for a customized scene
This is the more targeted choice for someone arranging a 1/6-scale action-figure display. Its stated fit for 12-inch scenes, metal-alloy construction, and interchangeable feature make it a focused prop for military-themed compositions, creative photography, or a customized soldier figure setup. The USD 13.26 listed price also places it at the low end of this comparison's USD 13.26 to USD 120 spread.
Choose NECA Contra Bill & Lance for characters and game display details
The Contra set centers on two named characters rather than one scene component. Bill and Lance stand about 7 inches tall, are described as highly articulated, and have a paint deco made to recreate the game's pixelated look. The detachable blast effects, power-up capsule, and support stand add display-specific elements that connect directly to the franchise's video-game theme.
Product notes
1/6 Scale VSS Gun Metal Model for 12'' Action Figure Scene Prop Accessories Toy
Choose this model to add a compact, military-style detail to a 1/6-scale action figure scene. It is designed for 12-inch figure displays, measures about 6.8 cm in length, and is described as a metal-alloy VSS model. Its interchangeable feature can suit collectors who like arranging accessories into customized soldier figures or staged scenes. The key limitation is equally clear: it is for display only and the package includes the VSS model, not an action figure body or other parts. At USD 13.26, it makes sense when the desired purchase is a single scene prop rather than a character figure.
NECA Contra Bill & Lance Video Game Appearance 7" Action Figure 2-Pack 2016 New
Choose the NECA set when the centerpiece of the display should be Contra's Bill and Lance. The two-pack combines the characters with articulated posing, a pixelated game-inspired paint treatment, detachable weapon blast effects, a power-up capsule, and a clear support stand. Those included pieces give it a more complete character-display focus than a stand-alone accessory. Its limitation is the USD 120 listed price, which is substantially higher within this two-item comparison. It is the stronger match for a Contra-focused collection or for someone who specifically wants both figures together, rather than an accessory to complement an existing 12-inch figure scene.
Final choice by use case
- For a 12-inch military scene: choose the 1/6 Scale VSS Gun Metal Model.
- For Contra characters with game-inspired display accessories: choose the NECA Contra Bill & Lance 2-Pack.
- For the lower listed-price option: choose the VSS Gun Metal Model.
- For a two-character franchise display: choose Bill & Lance.
