How does Diamond calculate the charts? It all starts at the comic book shop.

Data for Diamond’s sales charts – which include the monthly market shares and all top product charts – are compiled by Diamond Comic Distributors from a universe of over 3,500 accounts, comprised of comic book specialty shops and other merchant stores and buyers. The shops are primarily located in North America, with a percentage of sales also to international stores and buyers located throughout the world. The account base includes not only brick-and-mortar comic book specialty shops, but also Internet stores, chain stores, and other specialty stores.

Unit and dollars sales are calculated based upon orders invoiced and shipped to Diamond accounts during any given month, minus any copies that are distributed free of cost.

More fan-favorite characters, including Michonne and Merle Dixon, from AMC's hit series The Walking Dead are brought to life in McFarlane Toys' The Walking Dead Series 3 Action Figures, the best-selling toy product to direct market specialty retailers in March.

Square-Enix had two products in the top ten — the Batman: Arkham City Play Arts ~Kai~: Robin Figure ranked #2 and the Batman: Arkham City Play Arts ~Kai~: Batman "The Dark Knight Returns" Figure ranked #4.

Hasbro's Marvel Legends 6-Inch Action Figures ranked #3.

Bowen Designs' Savage Hulk Statue ranked #5.

DC Collectibles had four items in the top ten, led by the Justice League: "We Can Be Heroes" Action Figure 7-Piece Box Set at #6.

Kotobukiya rounded out the top ten with the DC Comics: The Flash "New 52" ArtFX+ Statue at #9.
