I want to see what Richard Armitage is going to look like! Every time I see a new dwarf picture I go 'Ohohoh!....crap! Well, alright.' Yep, they'll wind up releasin a picture of a character we've already seen just to bug us all.

Your excitement to see Thorin makes me REAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY want the next pictures released to NOT BE OF THORIN. Just to see how you'd react. And then I'd be rolling on ground laughing maniacally whilst you stare daggers at me. But it'd be SO WORTH IT.

Dammit PJ you tease!!! Just a head shot??? Still Guy of Gisbourne Thorin looks completely amazing- is anyone else completely impressed at the way Orcrist looks- I was worried it wasn't going to look elven enough, but you can definitely see the links to Sting/Glamdring in the design Oh and did anyone else who got this month's empire magazine (with Gandalf on the cover!!!) catch the comparison of Bombur to Obelix from Asterix an Obelix... I thought he looked kinda familiar

I see you point But even if they are "sexed up", maybe the movie will look great with that dwarves. I think that dwarves decribed by Tolkien are way too fairytale-ish. No, I don't meant to say that I don't like that. But PJ supposely wanted something more fresh.

Hehehehehe...Aerlinn, I agree with you that the images we've been given are certainly not Tolkien's dwarves from The Hobbit. However...okay, I know I'm committing Ringer sacrilege here, but I was never super keen on The Hobbit being filmed for precisely this reason. They either kept to the tone and feel of The Hobbit and confused everyone who was expecting something in line with the trilogy movies, or kept to the tone and feel of the trilogy movies and completely lost the feel of the book. I think they chose the latter. (Un)fortunately, I have very little attachment to The Hobbit book Sure, I like it, but the narrative feels so much younger for the most part, so disconnected to the world of the trilogy and Silm, that except for the references that tie The Hobbit into the world of Middle-earth, I don't tend to think of it as the same fantasy universe. If the filmmakers want to "update" The Hobbit into the same tone as other stories of Middle-earth, I don't have a huge problem with it. Not a very canon attitude, I know...but oh well. Besides, I knew when they cast Mr Sex Symbol Richard Armitage as Thorin that they weren't going for a traditional fairytale dwarf look

Aerlinn, I'm still just tryin to get past the 'sex the dwarves up' comment, lol! And I agree, they don't match the description in the books, but those are just the characters appearance, personality wise hopefully they will be the same. They're probably just tryin to update it to make it feel more LotR-ish.

THAT, Arweb I am also for PJ changing a little The Hobbit since its a book for children so it has to be re-done a little. And imagine some funny little dwarves wearing hoods and exactly the same beards

I agree with Aerlinn to a certain extent, but in the end the dwarves just looked too fantastic for me to split hairs over things like their beards being too small. (Hair... beards... is there a bad pun in there somewhere? ) Anyway, I love how original and unique they all look, and I buy the various excuses popping up for their differences from the book. In fact, I'm not so much bothered by Kili's lack of a beard than by his being so tall and skinny! All the other dwarves are really stocky and have huge feet and generally dwarvish proportions, but Kili... looks almost normal! I wonder if he has elf or human blood in him.
