How Heavy Is Too Heavy for Ventriloquist Figures

I find this to be an interesting question when it comes to ventriloquist figures. How heavy is too heavy? I guess I never really gave it much thought because I am not a performer but having many figures in the Ventriloquist Central Collection to pick up and play with I have come to the decision that there is no figure in the Ventriloquist Central Collection that I would consider too heavy.

Most performers today use their figures standing up with them sitting on a stand next them. I have even purchased vent stands which have figures sitting on them in the collection.

If the figure is sitting on a stand and is being supported and the head is supported in a ball and socket, then why would the question of weight even be considered?
