That's a skewed version. 

To put it in context in simple terms... 

When Marvel owned ToyBiz they were paying a tax on all action figures under an old 'doll tax'.  Marvel petitioned the US Gov't stating that action figures were not dolls because dolls are based on real humans and action figures are based more on unrealistic characters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Biz,_Inc._v._United_States

do you think this would lower the price on Marvel action figures for the consumer or just add more money to Marvels coffers..

That should lower the price on all Xmen comics

I think this had to do with action figures not comics as the tax was on dolls and the action figures are arguing that they are not realistic dolls so therefore shouldn't pay the doll tax.

Doesn't matter, around 10-15 years ago after the case they changed the wording of the law to include all toys. :( 

We pay more for Transformers and Legos because of this... :(
