Those two things kind of work together in a circle. They don't want to sell the toys at a loss, but at the same time there's not a ton of incentive to do so since they're still making profits off of other higher turnover items.
Ya true most customers would probably buy a stack of comics ($3-5 each on average) over action figures ($10-70 each on average) so comic book sales is their main demographic.
