BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
Why did you not make Wyll?
I have been asked why I did not make Wyll, Melinoe, Shadowheart etc. The purpose of this project is not to represent all characters from Hades and/or Baldur's Gate. I am simply making my two favorite characters from Hades (Zagreus, Thanatos) and from BG3 (Astarion, Halsin) plus a couple of my friend's faves (Gale, Hypnos). I do not position myself as a merch artist trying to represent the entire cast, and this is just a passion project. Please check out my social media, and you may understand why these six characters were chosen over other characters. I would love to make more characters but each sample plush is 250$ and unfortunately finances wise I cannot make everyone I'd like.
What if I want Gale, Halsin or Hypnos and their goals are not met?
I set the campaign goal at 7,500$ as a way to better ensure a successful outcome to the project. Making Gale, Halsin and Hypnos stretch goals better ensures we will have enough funds to get started on production. Of course my hope is we can fund all of them, but in the case we don't quite make it on the higher stretch goals I will self fund those out of my personal savings.
When are rewards shipped?
If all goes smoothly, I plan to ship rewards August - October 2025. If my manufacturer needs to remake plushies or there are delays, this may push this target back. Please check out my estimated timeline in the "Timeline" section of the campaign page.
When will my package arrive?
Items shipped within the US can take between 4-7 days to arrive after it's been shipped. International orders can take between 2-7 weeks to arrive, depending on how fast your customs processes packages. Please note that once a package has left our office that we know as much about it as you do. If you package has not arrived after seven weeks, please contact me.
What is your refund policy?
I will not offer refunds. The funds from this project will be used to produce the Plushies, buttons, stickers, prints etc. If you'd like to cancel your pledge, please do so before the campaign ends
Will the Plushies be available for purchase after the campaign ends?
This is a possibility! After all rewards are fulfilled, and any damaged/lost shipments are taken care of, leftover Plushies will be available for purchase online. However, I can't guarantee how many of each design will be available, more popular designs may not have many left overs. Backing the Video Game Husband Plushies campaign is your best bet on receiving the Plushies you want. I'll be sure to update backers when and where remaining rewards are available for purchase!
