Hey, it took a while, but I'm back on the dwarves from The Hobbit again! Thanks to Bastila,Deaditor,and Staley for keeping me inspired and forcing me to junk my figures that I wasn't putting full effort into.

Ori was probably my least favorite dwarf from the Hobbit,but once I started working on the figure, the design really grew on me! I still don't love the character,but this figure might have overtaken my Balin as my new favorite dwarf custom.

The recipe is:

Coronation Gimli body
Ori armor Samwise arms
Marvel Legends Coulson head
Lots of sculpt and fodder!

Thanks for looking and I've got a Dwalin, Bofur, and Gloin in the pipeline and nearly finished.

Thanks so much Hamlet!! I truly appreciate the positive feedback. PM me about an commissions. I take them on a very limited basis, but I'm trying to get my feet back under me after some serious family real-life stuff has knocked me back. So, message me and we'll talk. Thanks again!

Solid Custom of Ori! Ori's continued adventures with Balin back to Khazad-dûm would be Great to see in a film! If you ever get the chance, a great accessory for Ori would be the Book of Mazarbul.

Thanks for commenting Red Wolf! I gave him a little book like he carried in the movie, but you're right, a Book of Mazarbul would be great!! I'd love (and hate) to see a movie about the retaking of Khazad-Dum. it'd break my heart to see my lovable Balin die. But it would make a great film!

Agreed, a movie with the fall of Balin would be sad but Lord Balin and his Dwarves didn't go down without a fierce fight. Seeing Ken Stott reprise the role of Balin would be Awesome. Plus I would love to see the Axe of Durin found by Balin in Khazad-dûm would indeed be the same Axe that Gimli picks up after the Cave Troll destroys Balin's Tomb!

I love it!!! The details are amazing!! Ori's outfit is proving to be particularly challenging for me, but you make it look easy. Great work!

Thanks so much! I was so intimidated when I started, but once the "lightbulb" went off, it came together pretty quickly. I was surprised that it was as simple as it was. I forgot to mention that the scarf is Gandalf's, but cut, reglued, and adhered.

Thanks Edgy!! He turned out to be much more fun than I imagined he would be. The design just didn't speak to me.. at first.

Hey, Grinmankey ! Haha, I don't know how to say it in english, but the question here is : "who is inspiring whom ?" Great, that you're back in "the game" ! I love all your figures...and your Ori is no exception !
Can't wait to see all your dwarfes together ! CHEERS !

Thank you so much Staley! You said it in English perfectly. I believe we're all inspiring each other and it's so fun. So, get working on some more Hobbit/LOTR figures, man!! I'm actually starting a Battle of the Five Armies version of Bard as well...
