Mego fans, 2010 was truly "our year". Why, if you think back a few years and any idea of having an awards presentation would have resulted in most of them going to a dead company. it's astounding that we now have a variety of products and licenses in which to choose the very best.
We are pleased to present the 2010 Kubby awards, named after the late Neal Kublan former Mego VP who was always ready to share his wealth of knowledge with us fans. These awards were chosen by members of the Mego Museum forums and give credit where it's due despite it being a tough year to pick favourites.

Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. During Mego's original tenure the Superheroes ruled and with a whopping 47% of the vote, the Retro Action Heroes by Mattel are the clear winners. The runner up on this would be the amazing EMCE/Diamond Select Universal Monsters with 16%.
Best Science Fiction line of 2010.
The fans have spoken and with half a percentage point between the two Bif Bang Pow's amazing series of Twilight Zone figures narrowly defeated the golaith that is EMCE Star Trek. These black and white beauties are not be missed. Rounding out the third spot is BBP's line of Venture Brothers figures.
