The winner of Mr Inkredible is...
Posted by Huw,
There were 568 entries in our competition to win FireStar Toys' custom Mr Inkredible and all but two got the answer correct, despite there being some debate about the hairstyle's proper name.
Where I come from, it's called a mohican, so answer A was correct. Apparently in the US it's more often called a mohawk. Wikipedia states: "The mohawk (also referred to as a mohican) is a hairstyle in which, in the most common variety, both sides of the head are shaven, leaving a strip of noticeably longer hair in the centre."
Anyway, the winner, drawn at random, is Dan Eaton. Congratulations Dan, I'll be in touch for your address.
Thank you all for entering and for FireStar Toys for providing the prize.

Congrats Dan Eaton!
Yeey! I entered the correct awnser!
Congratulations Dan! You're going to love the little guy! We've told him to brush his hair and use super strong Gel so that he looks his best on arrival. With 568 entries, that's mind blowing, unfortunately there can only be one winner, but we're looking forward to having more giveaways in the very near future!
Yes! More giveaways! I'm not too disappointed, though. There will always be other contests.
Congratulations Dan! You are a lucky man!
Mr Inkredible is better than Mr Gold
I wasn't involved in the draw, but I'd be interested to know if Huw counted the mohawk answers as correct. If not, perhaps the next competition should involve a discussion of boots/trunks, torches/flashlights, lifts/elevators, etc. LOL
I think most of us Yanks recognized that a "mohican" was the same thing as our "mohawk," and clicked the button accordingly. There wasn't a write-in option! :-)
They are Mohawks in Australia!
Congrats to Dan...All but two, think the other guy was me! haha can't you guys pick two winners?! :P
All but two were right. To put it another way, only two were wrong.
As I grew up both haircuts were long and mostly spiked up, the Mohican was a narrow strip of hair down the centre of the head and a Mohawk was just shaved sides (not a mullet!). I had a Mohawk once... shave my head everyday now
Nice work Dan!! Mr Inkredible is totally badass!!
mhh.. what about the continental European term 'iro', short for 'Iroquois'? Obviously the Mohawk are a part of them, still this hairstyle is an iro here, not a mohawk.
Thanks for all the kind comments, Mr Inkcredibles ego would be huge... if he had ears!
@b3ats Your prize has already been sent out to you, so you should receive in the next day or two, if you haven't already!
