Longnecks are definitely a type of clam. But like khanate said, from what I have read he is a smog monster. He certainly does have that look of a mountain / rock formation (especially with the aptly named Mt. Fuji version).

Quote: why do you think it is killer? Huh? Cuz he's fucking hideous - come on, man this is a Kaiju forum, right?
And what makes you guys think he's a clam? He's got one eye and a volcanic smog orifice. Classic pollution monster.
Also, he's also referred to as the GAS BAWER. Long Neck may just be the co. name but that I'm not sure of....

I'm just messing around really. I think the Gas Bawer is somewhat underrated at this point - not nearly as coveted as the BEMON which is made by the same artist. Maybe once the paint jobs get as wild as the Bemon handpaints, they will get the praise they deserve.
I think people looking for clean lines are over at the KR boards

all this time I thought the long neck was "Gas Blower" and "Gas Bawer" was just a typo. !?

do we really know for sure that it's made by the Bemon guy? I've only ever seen that info come from a few sellers in HK trying to hype their auctions.

I really like the unpainted white version. One day I am thinking of customizing this...

I really like the unpainted white version. One day I am thin so desu.. the white version looks nice. Our first longnecks will arrive these days. The strawberrys versions will follow next month. I'm not sure if the bemon sculpt was created by the same person, but the design looks similar to me. The gashbawer is definetely underated but I'm sure his time will come...
