Not sure if this has been posted already, but here they are anyway:

Nori, Ori & Dori

Oin and Gloin

Balin and Dwalin

Bombur, Bifur and Bofur (Thanks to kamikaze_pigmy)

And finally, Fili and Kili...

The last two don't look much like Dwarves but I think Oin and Gloin look great.

Thoughts?

PS. Thorin, Dwalin and Balin are yet to be revealed.

Those Last two don't really look like dwarves that much. But these are early pics. They could change and improve over time.

They look a little strange but that may just be because of the background. I'm sure they'll look great within the scenes of the movie.

I'm less concerned with how they LOOK as I am about how they ACT. Gimli was used as comic relief for all intents and purposes in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Very disappointing. Dwarves are in most mythology, Tolkein not being an exception, considered to be extremely badass fighters. Would kind of like to see them portrayed as such and not as bumbling idiots.

I always find that the most interesting thing about dwarves is not how they look, but their personality. It is completely different to anything else and it's what I'm most interested in seeing.

At first I thought this was a joke because the first picture it looks like someone copy and pasted WoW dwarf faces on the dwarves :/ Well I'm just hoping they look better in the movie...

Isn't Guillermo del Toro directing these movies and Peter Jackson is producing them?

He Fili you and then he Kili you. But seriously, Gloin looks just like the dwarf from the Lord of the Rings, I can't remember his name. Pretty similar at least. In the face.

Gimli you're thinking of. They look similar because Gloin is Gimil's father.

Presumably, that is intentional as he's the father of Gimli.

the first 3 look too fake in that picture, the second 2 look like middle earth dwarfs should, and the last 2 are lacking the beards but still look awesome imo.

i do hope when it comes to the movie they all look the part, and more importantly play the part.

I'm reasonably happy. Oin and Gloin are spot on. They look very similar to Gimli (Gimli is Gloin's son) and each other (they're brothers) and most closely resemble what I've come to imagine the dwarves in Tolkien's universe to look like. Nori, Ori and Dori look decent. Obviously they don't want all of the dwarves to look the same so I can see why they've given them all a distinct style but they still don't "feel" quite right. Fili and Kili look the worst. They've tried too hard emphasise to emphasise the fact that they are the youngest and they've ended up looking closer to hobbits than dwarves. I notice none of them are wearing their coloured cloaks, either. I guess they left that out to give their appearances a bit more variety but they have done a great job with the clothing so that's forgiveable. Oh, and you missed out Bombur, Bifur and Bofur: Bombur looks as expected, but I would have preferred Bifur and Bofur to look a bit more like typical dwarves (similar to Oin and Gloin), because they're minor characters and don't have to be particularly recognisable. Edit: I just hope they don't f*** up Thorin...

Well Gimli was a badass fighter. :P

Those are some pretty fearsome weapons those guys are holding. But where is Thorin Oakenshield?

to be fair though, Gimli was also used as a badass fighter in the Lord of the Rings movies along with being comic relief. Who was it that wanted to march to certain doom toward the Black Gate? Gimli. Who was it that fought along with Aragorn to buy more time fortify the door at Helm's deep? Gimli. Who was it that saw Aragorn go down and jumped in front of a wall of Urakhai to save him? Once again it was Gimli.

Furthermore in The Hobbit only a few of the Dwarves in the troop are badass fighters. Fili and Kili for instance are younger and mostly are used for comic relief. Oin and Gloin are supposed to be pretty heavy. Really Thorin Oakenshield is probably the most badass among this group of dwarves, but we will most likely see him have to play that down because he also has to be the leader and thus can't be all gung-ho about everything. He will have to make intelligent decisions for the good of the group. And yes I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to this subject. :P

Most would argue that Gimli WAS an extremely badass fighter...

Are these real? When reading the book I imagined them with simple clothing and only their colored hoods and their weapons because who travels across Middle Earth bulky restrictive clothes. And their faces look odd.

I don't know what everyone's going on about. I actually like the look of these dwarves. It's a nice change from the regular typical looking ones you see constantly. I'm pretty sure all dwarves aren't the same just like in any race.. with all types of personalities and traits. It's refreshing and makes them complex instead of stocky oafs just bashing away (I'm sure there are those kinds as well). Also I like the last two. It's nice to see attractive dwarves for once.. I'm sure they're not all ugly lol.
