I was able to scoop this guy up a while ago.
Really dig it.
There was someone a bit ago (and on the other forums) that posted images of them modifying there to have a light up feature.
The build images no longer work. But if I recall correctly, he mentioned, it is hollow.
As you mentioned and I noticed when I received mine, he is pretty front heavy. I too just added an extra layer/set of bumpers/pads to the from side of the base. Which helps out a lot.
I think it looks neat on how he looks different with flash off VS on.
