Yes, he'll be fully CG, but most of the other goblins will not be

But even if that's the case, my guess is that they are FINAL concept art, and it is likely that they will look something like that in the films...

Meaning the longish hair on his head and back, is very, very interesting.
For one, it seems to be of human-ish length.
Secondly, and perhaps most intriguingly, it looks to be a lot lighter than the rest of the bear's fur...
Is it possible that Beorn, the man, will be blonde, and that this will also be reflected in his bear form?

Or at least that his face would be.
However, I had not heard that the rest of the goblins would be CGI. Bombadil is the first person to have said that, as far as I am aware...

Isn't anyone else just dying to see the goblins/orcs of this film? We haven't seen any in the blogs except for a few people in prosthetic suits without facial prosthetics. ARGHHHH!!!! Oh well I will just have to wait.
This picture is so freaking awesome though. And I love the look of the Wargs!

But as he is generally backlit, one would think that the dark part of the bear's face would all be dark, long hair and short. Yet even those strands of hair are lighter than his face...
Of course, this is a photoshopped piece of work, and normal lighting need not apply. But as it stands, it looks like slightly lighter hair to me.

Several weeks ago a picture of the production filming outside Beorn's house popped up on Flickr. To be able to watch the big version you'd have to shell out $50 (so I never got a good look). In the picture there was a person with what looked like a big, blonde wig. The picture was later removed.
Blonde hair is definitely possible.

How in the name of all that is holy do you do that? You hack into the EW site, and extract a high res version of the image?
Impressive, whatever it is...

If not, why didn't you say anything? 
In any event, blonde hair on Beorn wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

And I brought it up. Some of us discussed it. I went back to look for it later but it was gone

I'd expect that they may not be relieved (at least in their full glory), until later in the marketing campaign.
Agreed that this may make the scale of the film appear smaller, though we'll probably get shots of the Dwarves fighting or fleeing from something, so we'll still see some frenetic action in various locales.
My Top 5 Wish List for "The Hobbit"
5. Legolas will surf down Smaug's neck
4. Bilbo will be revealed to a Robot
3. Naked PJ cameo as Ghan-Buri-Ghan
2. Use of not only 3D, but smell-o-vision, plus the inclusion of axes coming out of the seats and poking the audience when appropriate
1. Not only keep the claim that Thorin & Co. ran amok in Mirkwood "molesting people", but depict said incident in vivid detail!!!!!

This is amazing... I'm sure someone's pointed out, Elrond has the Morgul blade on his table, and Beorn seems to have hair? Also, is that troll grinning?

Are you implying that the goblin extras are all going to killed?
In any event, I do think the goblins are being saved for some reason. My guess is that they are a new design, and that they are something special.
I hope they are very different, as for the most part, I thought the LOTR goblins looked like a bunch of creeps with masks on.

The elf halls had a bridge leading to it. It's not quite as dramatic or high-up in the book, but it's there. I like it

So I can't see what other bridge it could be... Looks nice to me.
There seems to be a good deal of corrosion there at the base.

And he's angry at the goblins of Goblin-town, who are almost certainly burning large quantities of carbon-heavy coal to feed their furnaces, thus contributing to Arctic melt and forcing him to move southwards.
A modern allegory, perhaps?
