===Toys & Action Figures===
Action figures and other toys were sold at the PRT ENE gift shop.<ref name="I21.y e1"/><ref name="I3e1"/><ref name="10.5e1"/>[[ Miss Militia]] had a small head-and-shoulders bust available at the gift shop.<ref>Tattletale lunged for the shelf next to the magazines, grabbing a head-and-torso model of Miss Militia.  She jammed it in between the trigger and the trigger guard of her gun, forcing the trigger into a depressed position. - [[ Parasite 10.5]]</ref>
The PRT PR department headed by [[Glenn Chambers]] was in charge of designing action figures for Protectorate heroes, much of the other merchandise.<ref name="23.3">People milled around him.  Twenty-something men and women, who carried coffees and portfolios, cloth and paperwork.  Fat as he was, Glenn moved swiftly.  He sipped a coffee, handed it back to the assistant who’d delivered it, and sent her off with a command or clarification.  Men and women with portfolios were told to set up at his desk while he examined action figures in the light of the window.  His pudgy hands, almost childlike, took hold of an action figure by the arm.  He shook it violently, his cluster of minions backing away at the sudden flailing of his arm and the plastic figure.  The arm snapped off, and the toy went sailing through the air.  Someone scooped it up and brought it back to the group.<br><br>“Go, and hurry,” Glenn said.  “Tell them to fix it and cast another prototype before the run starts.  These are ''toys'', they’ll be in the hands of children and collectors both.  The people who are buying these are ''fans''.  What’s it going to say if their most ''immediate'' association with Esoteric is the broken toy sitting on a shelf?  It’s going to convey that he’s ''flimsy''.”<br><br>The action figure people fled, and Glenn approached his desk, where the portfolios had been set out.  I approached, a touch lost in the midst of all of this, and nearly stumbled as another group entered the room, vacating to fill the void left by the group that was exiting. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/30 Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.3]]</ref> 

Flechette talked about the plans for "eventual" action figures as part of her career path,<ref name="I21.y e1">“Yeah,” Lily murmured.  “Before I came here, everything was on track.  I could see my future ahead of me, straight as an arrow.  Career path, eventual Flechette action figures.  Every single one of my teachers and superiors seemed to know I had potential.  One of the only people who could hurt an Endbringer…” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/interlude-21/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.y]]</ref> while [[Taylor Hebert]] was impressed by the fact that [[Armsmaster]] "was a guy who had his own action figures".<ref name="1.6e1"/> Presumably this implies that not all capes have action figures, and it's regarded as a sign of "making it".
