Merchandise

A way for civilians to feel closer to capes, and one of the ways parahumans can draw revenue.

Description
A significant section of the economy on Earth Bet in the United States comes from merchandising capes' lives and appearances. It is a common source of funding for PRT departments  as well as independent hero teams.

Toys & Action Figures
Action figures and other toys were sold at the PRT ENE gift shop. Miss Militia had a small head-and-shoulders bust available at the gift shop. The PRT PR department headed by Glenn Chambers was in charge of designing action figures for Protectorate heroes, much of the other merchandise.

Flechette talked about the plans for "eventual" action figures as part of her career path, while Taylor Hebert was impressed by the fact that Armsmaster "was a guy who had his own action figures". Presumably this implies that not all capes have action figures, and it's regarded as a sign of "making it".
