These are the first two I'm a little worried about, Kili looks downright elvish to me... I'm not going to judge until I see them in action tho

I think (I may be wrong) you're getting Kili's elvish look from his long, straight hair. I actually kind of like it, becuase it's a sort of rebel/youth dwarf look. That might not be the way they take Kili's character, but I'm betting he'll be spirited

I agree, Kili doesn't look very dwarvish at all. But then, should we expect all dwarves to be fat? Aren't any of them allowed to look cool? And I do like Fili's dual swords...

Rather undecided about these...at least Nori and Ori look like caricatures of "Dwarves"... Still, sure they'll grow on me...
I would rather be watching Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" and Ridley Scott's "Prometheus"...it's going to be a long few years.

Okay, now, I understand that Fili and Kili are the youngest of the lot, but...a goatee and a five-o'clock shadow? Appreciate the lack of prosthetics here, but give these kids some beards!

must have done something which Fili found amusing, but ticked Kili off, judging by their expressions

It is definitely the hair and thin waist line but given these are the younger dwarves it makes sense.. the look on Fili's face is priceless

it being the long, straight hair that gives Kili an elvish air. The bow/quiver adds to the impression too.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. It just looks wrong. I guess they all had to be skinny at some point, and these are the two youngest.

Kili looks like Spanish dancer Joaquin Cortez with pointy ears, not dwarfish at all. But they surely look like they'll be the Merry and Pipin of the Hobbit. They look cool though. But that's not too dwarfish.

First thing I don't quite like of what we've seen so far: they don't look like dwarves. Not a problem though, it could be just a bad picture.

that they'll reveal Thorin and Balin last as they seem to be made out to be the two most influencial dwarves in the group

neither being able to imagine the fate which lies before them Does that mean they' ll be killed as in the book?
