Super Freak
Mine just arrived and I must say I am pretty impressed. Perhaps it's because this is my first piece. Perhaps it's just the excitement of finally getting this bust after months of anticipation. Whatever it is all I know is that I absolutely do not feel underwhelmed like the guy in the video posted above. I think the weight is fine. Sure it can be picked up relatively easy, but I still wouldn't consider it "light." Then again I don't have any other busts to compare it against so perhaps it is. In any event, you aren't going to knock this thing over by lightly bumping into it or something.
EDIT - In my excitement, I forgot to mention some of my observations about the bust. I think the paint overall is excellent. I don't see any obvious flaws. The dreads are rough, but we knew about that already. Some of the little metal rings in his dreads were bent pretty badly. The rings are easy to bend so it was no problem to bend them back into shape. I do have the crooked tooth on the bottom jaw. It doesn't bother me, but I could understand if it bothers others. It's beginning to look like that might be a common issue as we've seen it on many of the in-hand pics so far.
