Not sure if it's the way they've been lit/retouched, but they look well weird. Great, but weird.

Agreed

they look like plastic

The wierdnes seems to me a way to distinquish them from one another.
13 different Gimlis would probably make my head ace.
They are now fresh out the wardrobe now. The plasticness will wear off. :)

Oin and Gloin are up on Facebook now - they look a lot more like Gimli than these rather high-fashion gents...

Maybe I have a dwarf fetish after all.

It seems depressingly inevitable that I will develop one over the next two years - you can't cast Richard Armitage and Aidan Turner as dwarfs and expect me to remain immune. I don't even *like* beards usually. Sigh.

Hope some more pics start coming out soon. It's a long wait til 2012.

They've clearly had some touching up in photoshop (which probably has little to do with Jackson) but I suspect they'll look much better once we see the footage.

Yeh if they were put next to some mountains it would look better

Im a little disapointed! The dwarfs (although not completely visible) looked awesome in the pic with Martin. I hope its just the background. The fact they look like Warhammer doesnt help either.

You do know that Gloin is Gimli's father right? They should look alike. As for the others, I like the individual looks. They can't all look the same. The plastic look is hardly surprise since this picture is pretty much a photoshoot and is not serving the context of the film. The images are just for showing their look. Film isn't even out this year, so I'm sure they have time to add any touch ups.

Yeah, I think I might have heard that somewhere...

Fili and Kili pics are out now. They look a bit Elvish, so it's a different look for them. Maybe because they're the youngest of the Dwarves. Wonder how Thorin will look. Anyway, nice short beard on Aidan. I will not have to become a beard fetishist after all. I am a VERY happy girl.
