We know some of you may be new to crowdfunding and BackerKit, so today we’re answering some frequently asked questions about the 1:10 Dom’s Charger Replica from TOMY+ pre-order crowdfunding campaign.

WHEN WILL YOU LAUNCH/WHEN CAN I PRE-ORDER?
Our campaign will go live on Monday, September 28th at 12pm Eastern / 11am Central / 10am Mountain / 9am Pacific.

You will need a Backerkit account in order to pledge and pre-order your replica. If you do not yet have a Backerkit account, you can create one at: https://www.backerkit.com/c/users/sign_up 

The pre-order crowdfunding campaign will run from September 28th - October 28th, 2026, at which point, if successfully funded, the campaign will go into Overtime Mode. Overtime Mode lets backers continue to pledge as long as there are new pledges within 10 minutes of the previous pledge. Once 10 minutes has elapsed with no new pledges, the campaign will officially end.

WHY ARE YOU LAUNCHING THROUGH CROWDFUNDING?
Unlike regular retail, these products have not yet been manufactured, as we only go on to create the replicas if we successfully reach our crowdfunding campaign goal.

Our crowdfunded TOMY+ replicas are a limited-edition. This is our sixth TOMY+ officially-licensed limited-edition crowdfunded replica. You can view our previous TOMY+ crowdfunded projects at https://us.tomy.com/brand/tomy-plus/entertainment/

HOW DOES CROWDFUNDING WORK?
In crowdfunding, backers pledge money in order to make a project possible. Backerkit uses an all-or-nothing funding model, meaning that backers are only charged if the project meets the funding goal by the end of the campaign. If we meet our funding goal, your pledge becomes an official pre-order, and you will be charged immediately after the campaign ends. If we don't reach our funding goal, you will never be charged.

WHEN WILL I BE CHARGED?
This is an all or nothing campaign, meaning backers are only charged if we reach our funding goal. If we reach our goal, your payment method will be charged immediately after the campaign ends (once the campaign is no longer in Overtime Mode).

Please note that a Backerkit shipping survey will be sent out immediately after the campaign ends. Shipping costs are due at the time of completed payment (immediately after the campaign ends if you are paying in full, or immediately after your 4th payment if selecting the “Pay in 4” option).

WHAT CURRENCY WILL MY PLEDGE BE COLLECTED IN?
Payments will be collected in USD. Backers in other countries will be charged the USD conversion rate as of the date backers are charged.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT CAN I USE?
Our payment processor, Stripe, accepts major credit/debit cards and Apple Pay on mobile. Payments cannot be split among multiple cards.

CAN I USE PAYPAL?
No, PayPal is not a payment option for this campaign.

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes. BackerKit’s Pay Over Time option allows backers to pay their balance over the four months after the campaign ends rather than all at once.

When the campaign ends and the project has reached its funding goal, Pay Over Time backers will be charged a quarter of their pre-order balance monthly for four months. Backers can choose to pay their remaining balance early. The shipping fee is charged after the last pre-order payment is made.

HOW SECURE IS IT TO PLEDGE ON YOUR SITE?
Our payment processor, Stripe, meets and exceeds the most stringent industry standards for security. You can learn more about the technical details of Stripe's secure infrastructure here: https://stripe.com/docs/security

For this campaign, we will be shipping to the United States and Canada.

If you live outside the United States or Canada, we may offer limited-edition units through select retailers in other markets if the initial crowdfunding campaign is successful.

WHEN WILL I PAY FOR SHIPPING?
A Backerkit shipping survey will be sent out immediately after the campaign ends. Shipping costs are due at the time of completed payment (immediately after the campaign ends if you are paying in full, or immediately after your 4th payment if selecting the “Pay in 4” option).

HOW DO I PROVIDE SHIPPING DETAILS?
You will provide your shipping details in the post-campaign Backerkit survey.

HOW MUCH WILL SHIPPING COST?
There is a flat $50 shipping fee (USD) per replica. This total is inclusive of VAT, duties, and sales tax. 

WHEN IS THE REPLICA EXPECTED TO SHIP?
The current estimated shipping timeline is Winter 2028 (February).

We’ll continue to keep backers updated as production progresses and timing is confirmed.
