The Hobbit - starts filming March 21

Now that's a bucket full of dwarves if I ever seen one.

I found it funny that the scale double for Balin (white beard) is almost as tall as the "real" Balin.
 
Thorin's beard is to short.
Most of their beards are too short. And not one blue beard among them:

'I am so sorry to keep you waiting!' he was going to say, when he saw that it was not Gandalf at all. It was a dwarf with a blue beard tucked into a golden belt, and very bright eyes under his dark - green hood. As soon as the door was opened, he pushed inside, just as if he had been expected.

I wonder if they're going to have the talking troll purse?
 
I take it 4th from left is Bombur?

While it's not a proper beard, that is one righteous set of facial hair.
 
With a couple exceptions, the dwarves look just a bit too slick and polished.
They seem pretty slender...especially Kili and Fili on the right and 2nd from left.

Thorin Oakenshield is described as pompous, with a VERY long beard. I also feel he should be older. Not OLD...but definitely past his prime, with one more adventure...attempt to recapture his youth, which in this case he literally hopes to do.

Also, they definitely seem to be warriors...which these dwarves certainly are...but I am not seeing any ragged dwarves who have been working in mines and scrathcing a living for much of their lives, which I recall the family of Thorin had been doing as of late (IIRC)

I guess it is part of keeping it to some extent in line with the more serious LOTR.

I like the rest of it though...bilbo looks good, Gandalf the grey. I am cool with Legolas...presumably in the 2nd of the movies mostly. It makes sense for him to be there.

Quite hyped...I always liked the hobbit better...just a more fun adventure story.
I just hope they don't lose the pace and fun of the hobbit.
