When Monkey Boy reviewed the Shaman Predator<\/a>, I thought it might have been a fluke. But when Rustin got the same thing<\/a>, I knew I had a problem:<\/p>\n

My Shaman Predator's dreadlocks are messed up.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The picture on the left is Monkey Boy's figure. Notice how the dreads hang straight down, and almost reach the waist? That's what it's supposed to look like. Mine is on the right: the dreads are shorter, and even if I pulled them straight, they'd still only reach to the armpits, not even the elbows.<\/p>\n

Now, NECA's Preds are really popular: they sell fast when they first show up, and the restocks sell just as fast. So when I went to Toys Я Us, there was only one Shaman Predator and I couldn't compare samples. I didn't know what he was supposed to look like, so I came home with a figure that's a little screwed up.<\/p>\n

So what's the deal? Was there a running change to correct the dreads, and I just got an early one, or is this a fluke (making me just severely unlucky)? And more importantly, how can I get a head with the right kind of dreads?<\/p>\n
