Designed for retailers' HeroClix tournaments within their stores, NECA/WizKids' Marvel HeroClix: Fear Itself Month 2 Organized Play Kit, based on the Marvel Comics crossover event, was the best-selling games product to direct market retailers in June.
In total, NECA/WizKids had seven of the month's top ten best-selling products. The DC HeroClix: Man of Steel release took four of those spots — the gravity feed display ranked #3, the Starter Set ranked #4, the Mini Game ranked #7, and the Marquee Figure ranked #7. Also in the top ten were the Lord of the Rings HeroClix: The Fellowship of the Ring at #5 and the Pathfinder Battles Builder Series: We Can Be Goblins at #10.
Wizards of the Coast had two products in the top ten — the Magic the Gathering TCG: Modern Masters Booster Packs ranked #2 and the Magic the Gathering TCG: Dragon's Maze Boosters ranked #9.
Rounding out the top ten, Cryptozoic Entertainment's The Walking Dead Board Game, based on AMC's top-rated television series, ranked #6.
Hasbro's Risk Legacy, a new version of the venerable game that features multi-game gameplay mechanics, returned to the top of the sales charts for the first time since October as March's top-selling games product to comic book specialty retailers.
Other publishers in the top ten include Fantasy Flight Publishing, Konami Digital Entertainment, Wizards of the Coast, WizKids/NECA, and Z-Man Games.
