No, mine are like that too, so I think it's a generic fault.

Lego is not always perfect, but Shifty is definitely a lot "iffy"-er based
on my actual experiences with it (all reported in this newsgroup).

This is probably true. I looked pretty carefully at the beard and couldn't
see exactly where the problem was occurring so it is probably a minute error
that can be fixed. The problem is definitely in the beard and not the head,
as I tried the Shifty beard on a Lego head and shoulders and got the same
problem. However, I am the kind of clumsy person who would most likely cut
off my fingers if I started messing about with a sharp knife, so I leave
such experiments to others!
