Radagast-Aiwendil Gondor Dec 22 2012, 10:22pm Views: 1379 The most impressive beard in 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' Just for laughs-which character has the most impressive beard in The Hobbit part 1? Personally I vote Gandalf out of a sense of loyalty, but Balin, Bombur, Oin and Radagast get honourable mentions. p.s. Bolg counts even though his beard isn't technically his (a poor Dwarf has been scalped). Reliable Radagast rides his sled of Rhosgobel Rabbits round and round Rhovanion.

Ref Rivendell Dec 23 2012, 4:00pm Views: 858 RE: Radagast-Airwendil Sorry, I couldn't help it - I voted Kili. I'm feeling a tad mischievous today But in all honesty, I'm indecisive as to who has the best beard. I like Fili's and Thorin's facial fuzz for the intricate plaits and rings. And Bombur has an impressive beard/plait too.

Annael Immortal Dec 30 2012, 5:22pm Views: 683 I voted for Fili I don't like beards, but I do like scruffy. I realize that's totally missing the point of your poll, though. So I'll say Balin.

BoromirOfWinterfell Rohan Jan 2 2013, 3:11pm Views: 710 Fili, Bombur and Radagast I love the plaits in Fili's moustache. Bombur's looks like a rope and Radagast has bird poop in his!

ryouko Lorien Jan 5 2013, 5:24am Views: 631 toss up between Bombur and Balin, but Bombur won out by sheer amount. ^_^

Lost_istari Registered User Jan 18 2013, 7:01am Views: 669 Easily Fili for looks. He really looks like someone straight out of SoA so he gets points for being bad ass. Sorry for a double vote, but I also really liked Balin's beard simply for the fact that they left off the mustache which made him look that much more expressive.

sauget.diblosio Tol Eressea Apr 1 2013, 11:45pm Views: 856 Ha ha Kili. 5 o'clock shadow does not a beard make. And why doesn't anyone talk about the fact that he has to shave, or at least use clippers, to keep that Miami Vice stubble? At leat Thorin has enough beard to have to use sheers on his. Balin definitely has the best beard, though. It's forked! Besides, he's my favorite of the dwarves.
