I don't even know how Scud made the worst toy at all. The figures haven't even come out yet. I would like to know how you can give a award to something that isn't out.

yeah…this was the weirdest reader voting of the past 3 years. There were clearly some people out there stuffing the ballots for (and against) certain artists or companies.

I can see where people are annoyed by Shocker Toys' delays, but leave Scud out of this…

How did the Glyos System Series get Favorite Toy Line? I don't know a single person who buys them besides the authors of this blog.
