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 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. |

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. And anotherother thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7777 |

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. |

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

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

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