Thorin striking a Heathcliff-like pose. *sigh*
Is it my birthday already??? I want to give Peter Jackson AND Richard Armitage big bear hugs. Stuff is popping up all over the place and my head is spinning.
The smile. The legs. The gorgeousness!!

Swooning left right and centre…Awesome!!
Awesome in every way. *sigh*
Oh, fabulous… Yes, better than Heathcliff any day of the week. Love the relaxed posture, the smile, the bare calves, all of it. “Falling in love again, never wanted to, what am I to do? Can’t help it…”
I love that midnight blue sky behind him. Blue is his color, after all.
That behind-the-scenes photo is delicious, right down to the peek at his thigh pads. 
He even manages to look sexy wearing thigh pads. No mean feat.
The man could be wearing a burlap bag and it would look sexy. It would also be itchy, but it would look sexy.
Hahaha! Exactly!
in Poland we say: ” He (she) would looks good in even in the bag for potatoes”.
Honestly, he can pull off wearing anything–or nothing at all!
After seeing the sexy “legs” picture I’m even more desperate to see him in a KILT!!!!!!!
I think he would look fantastic! 
Of course he would have to learn not to sit like that! Thankfully most men wear something UNDER their kilts nowadays! Good thing! I’ve no idea how he still manages to look so masculine with that long hair but he does!
Me too, Teuchter. I think he’d look mouthwatering in a kilt. We got a teeny glimpse in those B&W shots from years ago. Now I want MORE!
I’m all for seeing him in a kilt again. *sigh*
Looking something like this, ladies? I rather like the one with the puffy shirt and black leather “vest” but he’d look great in any of them I think.

Yes — does he ever have the legs for it. He would be so devastatingly gorgeous.
Never t’was a man better made for a kilt than our RA.
Ha! great idea Teuchter!
knees visible but what with His Highness the butt?? 
Be sure to check out the video on the scotweb kilt site as a guy shows you how to put on the whole outfit. As you can see from the model, a kilt would definitely “accommodate” all his curves, joanna! Spectacular thighs and all.
FYI…the link to the video no longer works. Sounds like the WB asked them to pull it.
Yeah, that’s what I heard, I need to update this.
They even asked bloggers to pull the gifs they’d made. So why did they release it in the first place?
Feeling
because I missed the alternate vlog *sigh* then I come here and what deliciousness greets me! Thankyou Angie!! I love the candid of course, he looks relaxed and happy, with the added bonus of his bare gorgeous calves. Now I’m 
and falling ever deeper too…
Some calves, eh? I’m very impressed by them!
Love some strong, shapely calves on a bloke.
It was buffering so I didn’t get to watch it all, either, before they took it down but I did see the brief clip with Richard relaxing in his Thorin gear. Anytime we get to see his legs and his smile and Richard simply looking happy is aces with me.
Jas has some fabulous gifs.
They are great.
She’s had to pull them now. Drat.
I can’t think of a better way to start my day than with some new Thorin pics! This movie is epic. Bless PJ and casting for choosing our Richard! Today is going to be a good day…..let the swooning begin ladies.
I bet PJ and Company are feeling pretty pleased over their choice for Thorin, too.
Both shots are terrific! Have you seen the one where he’s standing beside Elrond (? on the spelling) and looks tiny!!! I love it! I giggled and giggled! This big, powerful, sexy man, is my size! I knew it was coming… but, oh wow, to really see it! That picture just really seemed to show the size difference better that anything I’ve seen before!! It really made my day.
Didn’t he say he “lost a foot”? (cracked me up!) If he is 5′ 2 there I could look straight into his eyes as that is how tall I am!
To be honest though, I’d prefer to look UP at his normal self – ALL six foot two and half inches of him! I always did love tall men and actually married one! 
I prefer taller men, too, Teuchter (and married one). If I am wearing heels, I want to still be able to look up into his eyes. However, for Thorin? I will make an exception.
Well at 5′ and 1/2″, I’d still be able to look up to Thorin!
And would you be able to tear your eyes away from his azure gaze??
Not too easily…well maybe if he decided to take a bath, with me, I might have to have a peek… ;D
May I offer a friendly advise, Laurie?
Let him take a shower firsth , then allow him to crawl( to climb?) into the tub.
Yes, it’s in my latest post. He looks adorable.
It definitely illustrated how he and the other dwarfs will appear in contrast with the elves and Gandalf.
I saw the video today on Youtube via C19 link……the huge pile of gold looked good
Oh my lord don’t know how I’m going to be able to wait until December! This trailer is awesome he looks so gorgeous and that voice well that left me in a puddle. Who is Heathcliffe anyway lol.
It’s incredible, isn’t it? The whole thing looks fantastic and Richard is just mesmerizing as Thorin.
