Deathleech Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) I noticed a lot of people were listing their favorite dwarves in the main LotR/Hobbit thread. I figured it might be nice to have a separate thread to discuss which is your favorite, as well as have a poll to vote so we can see which is the most popular (could I a mod please add a poll with all 13 dwarves?). Thorin Balin Dwalin Fili Kili Bifur Bofur Bombur Oin Gloin Ori Nori Dori Here is deskp's banner to easily see the names of all the dwarves and their Lego minifigure counterpart: Click the picture below for a larger version! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8334/8096861808_673a494598_k.jpg Edited March 9, 2013 by rogueang Added Poll and picture Quote
Bilbo Baggins Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 My favourite dwarf is Bombur, he is awesome! Quote
Mike S Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Balin, I think is my favorite. Bofur and Dwalin come pretty close as well. Edited October 15, 2012 by Mikel Kalores Quote
Calanon Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Gloin, Oin, Balin & Dwalin. I really don't like the Ori minifigure much and for a few of them I don't like them as much because lacking in beard. Quote
purpleparadox Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Thorin and Kili. I know Kili gets a lot of criticism, but I love his minifigure! Quote
Jargo Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Nori because he's rockin' that awesome hair. Plus he has fantastic eyebrows. Quote
Pumpkin Pie Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Probably Nori, because of his awesome hair! Or Bombur because he's chubby : Y Quote
Ferrik Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 My favourite dwarf is Norin because LEGO captured his triangular hair perfectly and the print is amazing. That said, I think all the dwarves and very detailed. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Probably Dwalin because of the useful beard and torso, though Norin looks pretty cool Quote
DarthPotato Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Nori or Bifur... they both look great! Quote
Deathleech Posted October 13, 2012 Author Posted October 13, 2012 My favorite is probably Bifur due to the fact he is the only dwarf that has awesome beard printing. Lego including the axe piece in his head is pretty epic too. Nori and Dwalin are a close second and third due to the cool hair pieces on Nori and Dwalin's spiffy head tattoos and color scheme (love that color green and his bare arms). My least favorite dwarves are Thorin, Oin, and Ori. Thorin's minifig just doesn't do him justice, you can barely see the fur on his torso and his beads being printed on the torso take away more than they really add anything. I really hate how Oin's bear and hair are two different colors and seem to really clash. Ori I just think looks silly. I don't hate Gloin, but I think printing on his beard could of made him significantly better. Btw mods, whenever you see this and add a poll for most favorite, maybe you could also add one for least favorite as well? Quote
deskp Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Fili is the best in my opinion. No issues with the figure and his my favorite looking dwarf. So much charm! Edited October 14, 2012 by deskp Quote
BobThePom Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Gloin by far, but Dwalin looks good too. Quote
Chriswilson2 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 I'm just gonna use the torsos for my castle villagers :) Quote
Flobnomdob Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Definitely Kili or Bofur, for having the most useful hairpieces/hats. Oin's not bad either. EDIT: And a question- how many of you will devise some strategy to remember the names of each dwarf? I'm going to print off the picture in the first post and glue minifig stands above each dwarf. Or does no one care, really? Edited October 14, 2012 by Flobnomdob Quote
Krulis Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 For me it would be Balin followed by Bombur, Bifur, Gloin and either Fili or Thorin. The worst ones are propably Ori and Kili. Quote
Speedboat Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Balin, Oin, Gloin, Bombur, in that order. The first three just look the most "dwarvish" to me and it always makes me sad to think that Balin dies in Moria later And Bombur, well, he's just funny, I always liked his lazy attitude in the book. By the way, does anyone else find it strange that they didn't give Dwalin normal legs? He's supposed to be a really big dwarf, but in the picture, he's even smaller than his brother Balin...

ZCerberus Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 This thing was screaming for an ACTUAL poll, so I added one! Vote people! Quote
DarthPotato Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Even though I like Nori, I voted for Bifur. EDIT: And a question- how many of you will devise some strategy to remember the names of each dwarf? I'm going to print off the picture in the first post and glue minifig stands above each dwarf. Or does no one care, really? I don't need to, I've already got all of their names memorized. Quote
K-Nut Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Mine was Between Balin, Thorin, and Nori. TLG did such a great job with Balin and Thorin, but Nori looks simply incredible. Quote
just2good Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Bombur is definitely the best. I do like Dori's hair, and the dwarfs with Thorin's hair though. Quote
