With 31% of the vote, Retro Action Heroes shows that we love capes at the Mego Museum. Coming in at a close second, we’ve got the EMCE/Diamond Select Universal Monsters and third was Bif Bang Pow’s wonderful Twilight Zone. It’s amazing that Star Trek didn’t place this year, next year may be a different story….

It was Steve Austin by a big bionic leap this year, with a large majority of votes. Cast-A-Way toys followed with their upcoming Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon and bringing up the rear is Jean Luc Picard from an obscure series called “Star Trak”.

Not to be outdone by Steve’s popularity, Bigfoot also captured your hearts with a large majority of votes, followed closely by the Borg from “Star Trak” and Doctor Who nemesis Sutekh in third.

You people like Bionics! Six Million Dollar Man from Bif Bang Pow is clearly your #1 want for 2012, followed by Battlestar Galactica and then by fan favourite the Twilight Zone.
