I was curious if anyone had a list or a pictorial guide as to what Longneck Gas Bawers have been released. I am a huge fan of the figure and have 4 different types but I have a feeling there is probably a TON more than that out. Can anyone help me find out which ones exist?

[Note: I am not counting the single colour blank releases]

There isn't one. So why don't you post up the ones you have and people will add to them.

I love the squishy vinyl Bawers!!!
Really into having a database of them. I only have 3 currently and am looking to get more! I would love to see what's out there that I may have missed...

btw, a few weeks back I missed the one with the drinking straw in the top that was listed in the bst...really want to find it again.

i'm a big fan of the gas bawer myself.
here are some pics of what i have, but i'm not sure of all the release names...
(melon soda, mt. fuji, strawberry, 2nd ver?, alpha, ???, ???)

I believe middle/bottom is the 1st version?
I really want to get the Melon, Black, and the crazy White one with black dots and pink highlights and then call it good on the Bawers.

these are kinda like the poor man's bemon right? same manufacturer?

From Scott/steathtank:
Yoda from CKA is the owner of Longneck that produces the Gasbawer and Dempagon and Death Menargo.

The guy who has always produced the Bemon is named Honda san and is affiliated with CKA only in a production/reseller relationship.

This was explained to me last week when Yoda and I were rapping about toys at the Cosmo Knight Alpha store in Ekoda.

Scott 'rapping' . . . that could be funnier than Flynns Jumbo Stormtrooper presentation . . .

Thanks a ton guys!

I only have the strawberry but having landed one, am totally in love with the sculpt. As with so many great sculpts most photos don't really do it justice.

The sculpt really is tremendous! The colorways have really held this figure back - with better paint/colors I think these would have been way more popular. And the size/proportions make it a perfect companion figure for Bemon.

Any other custom Bawers?

I wish a database would be just production releases and not customs.
But that's me...

That would make the most sense, but I guess this is all art.

The bawers have to be one of the most underrated figures anymore.. for a while they were money. So much more character than the bemon imo.

Well, I believe you only have to put up with 2 for this database.
Personally I like to see everything done with a particular figure...including one-offs and customs...I think many others here do as well.
Can't please everyone.

Man, the Bawer with the add-on little guy is new to me. Have to track one of those down at some point... looks like a really fun set!

Add-on guy is Kemurijin...

More unpainted Bawers too...

One-offs?

I recall a yellow unpainted fomr the 2009 lucky bags? The same bag that produced some unpainted dempa's. Joe had one at one point.

you are right, the unpainted solids came from the 2009 CKA LBs.
i got the black one from the LB which i am very happy with
the gun-metal was the "prize" in that LB run, i think only one or max two each of the dempa and bawer.

So the 3 metallic figs above are all 2009 LB prizes?

yes, they are.

there is also a Mount Fuji variant : unpainted white vinyl but the eyes are painted...

Was just in the new Toy Tokyo. They've got a few in the cases. Definitely a unique sculpt.
