Quick verdict
The key choice in action figures here is not simply which item costs less: it is whether your display needs a small-scale scene accessory or a pair of character figures. The 1/6 Scale VSS Gun Metal Model for 12-inch Action Figure Scene Prop Accessories Toy is a metal-alloy display weapon model made for 1/6-scale scenes. The Contra Bill & Lance Video Game Appearance 7-inch Action Figure 2-Pack centers on named Contra characters and is a NECA set for adult and teen collectors.
Choose the VSS model when you are building out a military-themed figure scene, creative photograph, or action-figure collection display. Choose Bill and Lance when the characters themselves are the focus. The listed-price spread is $116.73, so the decision has a substantial cost component as well as a format difference.

Where each option wins
The VSS Gun Metal Model wins for scene building. Its description specifically positions it for 1/6-scale action-figure scenes, military displays, creative photography, and collections. The metal-alloy construction is also a clearly stated detail for shoppers who want a miniature accessory rather than another full character figure. Its lower listed price makes it the direct fit when a display needs one focused prop.
Contra Bill & Lance wins for character-centered collecting. This set brings together the two named Contra figures, rather than supplying a scene component. That makes it the clearer pick for a display built around the video-game appearance of Bill and Lance. It is also identified as a NECA item and is categorized for adult and teen collectors.
Product notes
1/6 Scale VSS Gun Metal Model for 12-inch Action Figure Scene Prop Accessories Toy
Pick this accessory when a 12-inch figure display needs a compact VSS-style scene element. It is described as a 1/6-scale model, measures about 6.8 cm long, and uses metal alloy. The emphasis is on customizing soldier figures and building military scenes, so it has a specific role alongside an existing action-figure collection rather than competing with a full figure. At $13.26, it is the lower-priced choice in this comparison and keeps the purchase focused on one display detail. Its limitation is equally clear: it is for display only, and the package includes one VSS Gun Metal Model; a figure body and other parts are not included.
Contra Bill & Lance Video Game Appearance 7-inch Action Figure 2-Pack
Choose this set when you want Bill and Lance to be the centerpiece of a Contra-themed collection. The title identifies both characters and their video-game appearance, while the adult-and-teen age grouping aligns it with collectors looking for character figures instead of a miniature accessory. NECA is named for this set, and its mixed-material construction is also specified. The $129.99 listed price is the higher of the two options, reflecting a fundamentally different purchase: named character figures rather than a single scene weapon model. For shoppers whose main goal is expanding a 1/6-scale military scene, that higher-priced character set is less directly aligned with the display-accessory role.
Final choice by use case
Choose the 1/6 Scale VSS Gun Metal Model for a military scene, photography setup, or 1/6-scale figure display that needs one metal-alloy prop. Choose the Contra Bill & Lance Video Game Appearance 7-inch Action Figure 2-Pack when your priority is displaying the two Contra characters together. In short, the VSS model serves the scene; Bill and Lance serve the character collection.
