I was going to say, that's not much of a beard on him on the right. He is a handsome chap, though. Maybe they should just beard him up a little bit more and then everyone's happy.

[Lauri]

I agree completely with it all. Kili has too little beard
Fili acctually looks perfect in terms of beard! Though I could agree with Kili simply having too fine hair being the issue aswell. He's a dwarven Aragorn basically.

Also, a note on all swords\daggers: They don't surprise me. They look very dwarven, I'll admit that, and also kinda neat. WETA has done a good job in not going bananas, but keeping it cool. It'll certainly do.

Stephen Hunter - Bombur | James Nesbitt - Bofur | William Kircher - Bifur

So... just the three big dwarves left:

Thorin
Ori
Kili
Fili
Dwalin
Bofur
Nori
Oin
Balin
Dori
Gloin
Bombur
Bifur

[Lauri]

Already saw Thorin, I would assume it's him anyways. One the first post, Matias' link, the first picture (with Bilbo in focus) you see Thorin (I guess) in the background looking at us.

Have to admit, these 3 last chaps look rather awesome. Not in the "bad-ass" factor mind you Bofur especially looks awesome with his hat (which I like and dislike for obvious reasons... It makes him awesome, but is it suitable at the time..?)

[m@tt]

Well he hasn't been shown properly and there's also a bald bloke in the first photo who isn't in any of the new shots.

[Lauri]

And the one with the white hair, unless that is Oin. It's really hard to tell, because he's eyebrows and hair stick out alot more, and it seems more white than the greyish Oin has

But yeah, of course I'm eagerly awaiting the big 3 screenshot!

[m@tt]

Your wish is my command!

Balin - - - Dwalin

[drogoth232]

I'm really impressed with all the costumes and make up for the dwarves (because everytime I read the Hobbit, I see the characters as cartoons ). My only problem is with Kili. He is literally an Aragorn midget.

DId they already show Thorin, or are we still waiting for a pic?

[m@tt]

Thorin will be the last to be shown, being the main Dwarf, although there are also so minor dwarves too in addition to the Company.

I guess as shooting continues over the next year, we'll see more of these. I would guess that the only character they don't show is Smaug - wouldn't be surprised if all we see before release is a couple of words and maybe a quick glimpse in the trailer.

[Lauri]

It would be awesome if we'd only hear the voice of Smaug in trailers, and not see him before the actual movie (which I would assume Smaugh being in part 2)

[Spartan184]

I got to say Fili, Kili and Bombur are the coolest looking ones

[Dúnedain76]

Oin and Gloin are great. I can't wait for Thorin.

[Nertea]

He looks close enough to be a younger version of my Gloin, so I'm happy

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Balin and Dwalin actually look like Dwarves.
Dwalin especially looks good.
They still have to show Bilbo too.
I'll put all the images in the first post as well.

[mike_]

And now we have Thorin!

[Lauri]

He doesn't look as badass as I would've hoped, cause he looks rather young.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Which is what I thought when they announced the casting.
Why is it the Longbeard King doesn't have a long beard?

[Mathijs]

Honestly, they should have given him a beard. I am kind of disappointed.

[NewErr]

He looks more like a Pirate of Umbar ... Really disappointed :(

[Dúnedain76]

Many of them dwarves disappoint me. What ever happened to the the Longbeards of Erebor? And Orcrist....Meh...it looks like Sting but bigger.
