…but, where are the bright cloaks? Why is Kili not smiling? Why does he look like a mini Man, and not a dwarf?
I’m guessing that the next promo released will either be Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur or Balin and Dwalin, saving Thorin for last. I’m really interested in the promo pics of Thranduil though, as he’s the only character from TH I’m really interested in…and then the White Council members (and please let there be Cirdan. Please.)

…Is it just me, or is Kili kind of…you know…sexy?

I must agree with Lady Brooke, they do look Mannish to me. The one on the left reminds me of a Rohir, and the one on the right of Túrin (why is he *slim*?). I am more or less okay with the general ourtifs they wear, but I’m realy not a fan of the too small beards they have. 🙁 Nor of the butcher-knife-like weapons they bear; a skilled Uruk might make a weapon of this shape, I was hoping to see a non-‘barbaric’ shape for their swords. :/
These guys will surely get fangirls as someone in the team undoubtedly purposes, but do they look like actual Tolkien dwarves? Not to me…

Kili definitely doesn’t look like a dwarf to me. Fili… I suppose he could pass for one. At least he looks short enough. I guess I’m okay with the outfits, though I would prefer the colorful cloaks and hoods described in the book. So far, everything has been black, brown, or grey. And I do think their swords resemble orc-swords too much.

I truely hope that’s not the look they’re going for. They look like dwarves from Dragonlance and not the dwarves that Tolkien envisioned. I think it’s highly impractical to be carrying all that gear and weaponry all the long journey to the Lonely Mountain even though they supposedly were going to get rid of Smaug. And I agree about the swords, they look too orcish and not dwarven. Dwarven weaponry tends to be with axes and bows and not as much with swords or whatever it is they’re carrying. Long knives.
And Fili and Kili, I’m sorry, but Fili looks a bit ridiculous with that hair and Kili looks like a man. I agree, where are the colorful cloaks? Where are their beards and cheerfully dwarven personalities. I had high hopes for these movies but now I’m getting a dread rock. I thought we were going on an adventure not into battle.

I’ve never drooled over a dwarf before, but Kili, well… Fili, on the other hand, looks a bit too jolly to me.
I agree on the weapons. Fili’s in particular look quite brutal. Kili’s are… passable, I suppose. I like the bow and arrows, though the bow looks like it might be too small, and the sword is what I think a dwarf-sword would look like – it reminds me somehow of the architecture in Moria.

Kili is for the girls. It’s a shame that Jacksoon feels he has to do that. Well,at least he dies at the end.

Well we’re doomed.
I’m sorry, but those are not dwarves. What were they thinking?? Where are their beards? Arghhh!! And I don’t care if they look “sexy”. They’re not supposed to!
They are going to destroy my most favorite book. =(
