Missing an entire brow (well, the brown part of it... the black outline was
still there). His scared face was almost completely intact... only a bit of
the brown was missing. Alas, I actually didn't care about the scared face.

Well, that's good to know (but as I said, LEGO's customer service was never
in question!). Still, I don't think I've ever had a misprinted part before
either (and that's a *lot* of sets I've bought over the span of nearly 30
years). I had previously also bought the mummy set (Curse of the Pharaoh)
but thankfully, all 3 minifig heads were fine in that one.
