TIME is the lucky beneficiary of exclusive photos today, as it seems Warner Brothers is slowly distributing exclusive photos to all the major news sources one day at a time. I believe that is a very shrewd approach to drumming up interest in the project.



Description of the two characters:
"Dwarf Lords in their own right, Balin and Dwalin are close relatives of Thorin. Beyond this, these brothers are two of his most loyal and trusted friends. An old warrior, Balin has lived through hard times and fought many battles, yet he harbors doubts about the wisdom of the Quest to retake the Lonely Mountain. Dwalin has no such forebodings – his belief in Thorin’s leadership is unshakeable. A powerful and bruising fighter, with a natural tendency to distrust anyone who is not a Dwarf, particularly anyone who might be an Elf, Dwalin is not someone to cross lightly."

Loving the designs of these dwarves - especially the armour.

Hard to get any real sense of proportion or context though. Can't wait to see them in locations and standing next to hobbits, humans and Elves.

I hate these damn ads with the audio on them. Those create lag and are a real pain for those of us who visit here while we're supposed to be working. Please quit accepting these! They're as annoying as those damned popups in all the pictures.

As for the dwarves, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. LOL to ClarkKent. WWF indeed! Maybe a tag partner for Hornswoggle?

Since most of the Dwarves will likely not be as "main" as others, I think PJ chose more distinct looks to bring them out. Perhaps the more Dwarf-like will have the greater workload on screen. These two look fantastic!

Maybe they should all look like "dwarf women"?

Some are never happy, unless they are complaining (sigh)

Is this all fo them then? I think they have all been revealed. I also think they will look better in real life than in these pictures which are obviously highly photoshopped.
Jackson and his team make sure to out so much great detail that in real life they we all be great Im sure...

Glad to see they're giving each of the dwarves his own look. With 13 of them (and lots of rhymey similar names) we're going to need all the help we can get telling them apart.

In Peter Jackson we TRUST. I wonder if they will do a Theatrical re release of all the other films a week or two before they release pt 1 of the hobbit??
