Welcome to Growing up - An Exocolonist Fanmerch Collaboration! This campaign is focused around collaborative artworks made by Poayo and Begonia working together on each piece, splitting the work. Many of the items we chose to create are intended to be useful to you in your daily life-- Books to take notes in, stickers with helpful reminders, even lanyards and card holders for when you're out and about!
The main artwork in this campaign is the two-piece Child and Adult night party, representing the progression of time and the life changes that come with it. Begonia created the sketch and line art, and then Poayo did the coloring and shading!
There are also some pieces soley by Begonia within this campaign, such as the Repeating Vriki Design and Fantasy Stickers! You can find our other IWATEX fanmerch on the Poayo's Universe Etsy Shop, but you will be able to add in those items during the survey period!
The items we can create depends on the amount invested into the campaign. If you pledge for items that are in hard to reach goals, make sure check in near the end of the campaign to be aware of which were unlocked and to change your pledge accordingly. This also means unlocks can be undone.
All original goals were reached in 24 hours, so we've added bonus goals! Thank you, exo community!
Early Bird Pledge in the first 48 hours for a free 3" clear Congruence sticker. Pick between "Stay Hydrated!" and "Take Breaks!" Want them both or miss the freebie? Find it in Add-Ons.
Returning Backer As a returning backer would have pledged to the Plush Campaign, you will receive a tiny 2.5cm button pin to go on your plush! Pick from 5 different designs. Pre-Launch Follower If you followed before launch, you got access to a free Vriki wallpaper! Thanks for being here!
Your payment will go through when the ordering period ends. You must fill out the survey sent out 16 days after the end of the campaign ASAP or else the items can not be sent as this will determine which designs you receive. If we can not reach you before the manufacturer ships the pins your pledge will be considered a donation. Please make sure your account information is accurate- especially your email and address!
Once the campaign has ended refunds will not be possible, however additions can be made during the survey period. If there are any issues with your order please reach out and we will do our best to fix any problems or flaws present.
Pay Over Time This optional toggle during payment after the campaign ends allows you the ability to gradually pay off what you would like to spend in this campaign across 4 months if you pledge over $150 USD. You can only receive your survey on which designs you would like after you fully pay it off.
You can opt-in to combined shipping during survey time if you backed the previous I Was a Teenage Exocolonist Plush Dolls campaign! This means I will ship the items you pledge for during this campaign with your other order. Depending on shipping weight you may still be charged additional shipping for adding in a new item(s). Only opt-in to this if you are willing to wait for the shipping date!
General Information
The cost of shipping will be charged after surveys are complete and after the campaign- you will not see this cost in your total until later! All items will be shipped through PirateShip in a decorated bubble mailer or cardboard box from Poayo Universe.
If you are not in the USA, we recommend finding others that are interested in the same country and doing a group order. This is where one person puts in the order of multiple people so you can split the shipping cost between everyone, and then after it arrives they ship the items out to the others using the cheaper domestic shipping.
The following estimated shipping rates are all in USD. Mixed item orders will be the higher rate. Combined print and other items orders will increase box size and might change shipping to the book rate.
As Backerkit does not handle them, you may be subject to tariffs/import taxes, VAT, or handling fees. If returned due to an incorrect address or unpaid customs fees there will be a reshipping cost. Both of these will be your responsibility to pay in order to receive your package. Changes to tariffs or shipping rates may affect both the merch creation itself and shipping to you- keep in mind Poayo will be shipping from the USA.
