 Bemons and the longneck co.
Are bemons and the longneck company the same, um, company? or are
they two different entities? I keep seeing longneck and bemon stuff
together, be it pictures of booths from toy festivals, or even that sofvi blog
with all the updates (albiet in japanese) of upcoming bemons. Anyone able
to shed some light on this?

I've read that it's the same guy but I thought it was just something flippers were putting in auctions to boost prices. I haven't seen anything "official" but there seems to be a relation.

They are both by the same creator/company.

In a conversation I had with Simon from Knunt.com (thru email),
I asked that question and he confirmed they were one and the same as he has met/purchased from him. A source I have no reason not to believe.

Had the same conversation, same conclusion. Gotta say, the 2 figures look awesome together and have a very similar style. Just wish the paintjobs on the Bawers were as insane as the bemons...

Not to forget the Death Menargos, these I think are fantastic as well.
All my figures are stored in bins but I can't wait to display them together.
Yeah, I'd like to see some more interesting paint apps on the Gas Bauwers too.
The first two are really my favorite, so much so that I have three of the Green and two of the black so I can create monster armies to display someday.

been looking for that newest Bawer - "Melon Soda" or something like that. Knunt had it but I hesitated and missed it goddammit. Coolest one so far, besides the mt fuji which I fucking LOVE.

The Melon was the first translucent one and did look great! It went pretty quick.
I had the Mt. Fugi, I loved the concept but the paint job on it was kind of sloppy and maybe just not ellaborate enough for me. Like you said, some Bemon paint styles would be more desirable.

Spot on Josh!
Anyone seen the "Black Heart " version?
It's smokey clear with a black heart stenciled on it's "neck".
