This is literally what merch is for. Cool shit that people can buy and look at and show off and support the developers even more, except you get something tangible for your money instead of just throwing it into the void.
just like with bands. although with bands usually it's the best way for them to make any money at all because everything else is so nickled and dimed (make sure to buy band merch directly from the band if possible!)
