But then, neither are Captain America, Spiderman, or the Hulk… or Ironman? Well, that's what the US Government has decided: link The quote from the court's decision is priceless. |

But the thing is… Marvel was the one arguing that they are not human! Why? Because of all the taxes they don't have to pay because the Marvel toys aren't human (and thus aren't taxed as 'Dolls' which have a higher tax rate). All the US Government was doing was agreeing with Marvel's lawyers arguments. |

These kinds of custom tricks happen daily. Foods are imported half-prepared instead of importing the ingredients separately etc … It's all how you interpret and abuse the tariff lists. |

Doesn't Iron Man just wear a suit? He may not be covered. |

So do Mr Spock dolls pay half the tax, because he is half human, half vulcan??? |

Why isn't anyone asking why the taxes are different at all? |

This totally belongs on The Blue Fez because it screams that something is wrong with the whole approach. |

Wait, Andrew… are you saying it might be inhuman?
