General Magma Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Where was this dwarf actually shown, though? Is it any indicator of when we might expect to see the rest or at least some others? We saw Nori and Thorin in blurry pics before but they weren't seen after that again...

deskp Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Time for an update then: The Oin fogure is very good in my opinion, BUT the beard being so white is more acurate to how he looked during pre production, the final designed bear has much more grey in the mustache area. I think they should have left the mouth area of the beard unpainted. _______ The Oin image was posted online 1. august, I guess the image came from comic con?... there could already be images of the other minifigures online...

Delta 38 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Hey look, it's the staff design I posted a while back. Nice minifig, though the beard/moustache looks a bit off to me.
DarthPotato Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I think he looks great! I can't wait until we get to see all the dwarves together.
Lynx Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks for posting! I think Oin looks great. Still mostly looking forward to Thorin and Ori in LEGO form. Also thanks to deskp for the update!
DaleDVM Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I think the mustache and beard combo would have looked better with a two shades of grey instead of grey and white... But overall I still like the figure.

Masked Builder Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I think the mustache and beard combo would have looked better with a two shades of grey instead of grey and white... But overall I still like the figure. Yeah I agree, that definitely would look better. But it's not totally awful.
deskp Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I was enjoying how this forum has stayed fairly meme free....
Deathleech Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Nice minifig, though the beard/moustache looks a bit off to me. Ya, I think all the white bearded minifigs look a little off due to them having a solid white beard rather than having shades of white and grey in it like they do in the film. It's really vibrant and apparent on them, unlike the darker colored beards where it's much less noticeable. With Oin I think they should of almost done his beard all gray like his hair since it appears to have more gray than white coloring in it. Edited September 12, 2012 by Deathleech

With Oin I think they should of almost done his beard all gray like his hair since it appears to have more gray than white coloring in it. dark gray piece with light gray painting could've been better. My biggest problem is still that the "mouth" area of the piece is white. makes it seem takced on, rather than integrated. I'm very much looking forward to seeing Fili in minifigure form. He's the coolest looking dwarf in my opinion, I'm anxious hoping they won't mess him up in any way. Edited September 12, 2012 by deskp
Flobnomdob Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Love Oin! I have nothing against any new hairpeice, but there could be slightly less white...Still, awesome! This theme will give us so many old grumpy man faces!
Wardancer Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I hope someone makes a real dwarven army soon. With all the old and new dwarves and hobbits that can easily turned into dwarves it should be easy to have regiments of hammer and axe wielding bearded guys in the style of Warhammer dwarven armies.
Bilbo Baggins Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I really like Oin, if this picture is actually from the Comic Con this gives me hope for the pictures of Nori and Thorin
Fives Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I think Oin looks really good! I still think that, of the dwarves that have been revealed so far, Balin is my favourite. About his beard, it could be possible that, seeing as it is a new piece that has two colours, it could be a preliminary paint job, and the final version may be more grey than white. Either way, I can't wait for these sets to come out!
Combee Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I really like Oin, if this picture is actually from the Comic Con this gives me hope for the pictures of Nori and Thorin According to FBTB the picture came from the actor's Facebook page. I would like to see better versions of the Nori and Thorin pictures though
deskp Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 According to FBTB the picture came from the actor's Facebook page. I would like to see better versions of the Nori and Thorin pictures though well you know, the pictgure itself isn't captured from facebook, the real minifigure was somewhere when it got pohotographed. The actor seemed very happy about being made into a minifigure, wich is fun to see!
RaincloudDustbin Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I'm not keen on these dwarves...
Bilbo Baggins Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 According to FBTB the picture came from the actor's Facebook page. I would like to see better versions of the Nori and Thorin pictures though I didn't knew that TLG gave minifigs to the actors before their official release
Pumpkin Pie Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Wow! Oin looks great! I'm so excited! Hopefully the rest of the minifigs show up soon.
Ceroknight Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Nice! Hopefully there is a different one like in the Superheroes one
