I am entranced with my Plush Thorin. He’s the perfect size to clutch to my heart. His blazing blue eyes and angry brows get me every time. I love his fuzzy hair. No braids to wind around my finger, but it’s delightful to ruffle with my fingers. I imagine a very, very young Thorin whose hair has not grown to its luxuriant lengths quite yet (I guess his beard got ahead of it. đ ) His nose also has a ways to go before it reaches its adult magnificence.
I am so glad Plush Thorin finally made it safely across the big pond to me this week.
(And I realized two things after looking at these photos: (1) I really need to touch up my roots again and (2) I mustn’t get carried away with the bronzer beneath the cheekbones LOL Trying to combat wan winter complexion. Ooh, and I need a haircut!)
the armitage effect 
You two look great together đ
Aww, thanks. We do make a cute couple, don’t we? đ
Utterly cute!!! đ
đ
Actually on this occasion I’d say forget the fierce-looking Thorin, how lovely and young does Fedoralady look! The blogger is hot!
LOL, thank you, Milly. My niece did tell me I looked pretty tonight, so I guess for a great-aunt I’m too frumpy yet. đ
You, frumpy? Never! You look great, regardless of what you think you see. But maybe some hair services (coupled with another viewing of TH?) would give you a boost after the trials of this winter.
Yes, cuddle plush Thorin close to your heart. He’ll need all that lovin’.
Well, I try. đ Tonight I looked at how impossibly tall my great-nephew is now–wasn’t he, like, a preschooler yesterday??–and I suddenly felt mystified by how rapidly time is passing.
I am going to have to do something with the hair soon, it’s getting shaggy and the color obviously needs a touch-up. I can trim the bangs as I’ve done before and we can do the home hair color, but the overall trim it needs is going to require a professional.
I love his angry eyes ! I received my plush little Thorin and Thorin Lego two weeks ago. They are on my desk next to my computer watching me richarding ! OMG how silly we are ….
I love rewatching the hobbit ending scene on youtube because I can press the pause button and endlessly admire his beautiful eyes !!!!
BTW Happy Guyday Friday. I love you so much Guy !
The eyes get me every time. Both the real ones and Plush Thorin’s eyes. đ Happy Guyday Friday to you, too!! đ First post is already up, it’s an extra-special GF.
im soooo glad im not the only one who pauses the end scene! I also rewatch over and over when he 1st arrives at Bag End and Gandalf opens the door. OMG i just totally melt
oh, and where did you find the plush Thorin?
An English online source called The Geekest Link. Someone gave me the link . . . http://www.thegeekestlink.com I remember they said the Thorins were tremendously popular when offered for pre-order, more so than Bilbo, Gandalf or Gollum. The guy there said apparently “a lot of people want to sleep with Richard Armitage” đ
Bahahahaha! Thats a classic. thanks for the link, i will look it up now and order one.
I think he was getting quite a kick out of the onslaught of orders from RA fans. đ
Plush Thorin is cheaper on Toy Palace (Germany)

Oh, NOW you tell me LOL I don’t know if I’d have really come off cheaper being across the pond. They had some of the figures at the big bookstores here, but no Thorins. đŚ
The comment by that guy made me want to rush out and order my own furry/fuzzy (?) Thorin, but he seems a little too big to fit under the pillow and I’m not sure what Mr MillyMe would say to sharing a boudoir with the hot dwarf!
I checked for you and he fits under a plump queen-sized pillow pretty well. đ
Looked up the link, too. I think I’m plumping for the Thorin mug. I can have one for work and one at home and blame it on my Tolkienitis, being a literary lady ‘n all đ
Oh, absolutely. đ That’s one thing I don’t have, a Thorin mug. Benny might prefer I save that for next Christmas LOL
I think I could maybe say I was buying it for our son… On second thoughts my husband would never fall for that- think I will get a mug for work too- I’m sure it would be a hit with the boys in my class!
And mugs are very practical. đ
That they are. They hold chocolate after all, another luscious delight.
Chocolate, coffee, tea, milk . . . they can hold pens and pencils . . .
And medicinal toddies to combat the evil upper-respiratory threats….
Exactly.
It’s a great entrance for the older Thorin. đ
Hi bechep, could you please inform the link to access to the scene where Thorin first arrives at Bag End ? I assume it is on youtube as well ? Thanks.
Mmm. I know what you mean about time passing. And I know my hair needs a professional trim, at least 3 cm off the ends. Like you, I can do the colour at home, but I need a pro for the cut and I have to ask friends where to go. The lady who did it before retired.
It’s so hard to get in to see the lady who normally cuts my hair–she’s cut back a bit on her hours–so I may have to either wait longer than I want to or get someone else to do it.
If Thorin wasn’t also in the picture i would suspect you were posting a ten year old photo of yourself.
You do make a lovely couple – although you are so much fun, i’m not sure how long he will be able to keep that grumpy face up.
Oh, gosh, thank you. My back is killing me at the moment (I guess that’s what I get for wearing high-heeled boots to the memorial supper, although the 100 percent humidity and below freezing temps don’t help) and I will take all the compliments I can get. đ I am hoping I can coax just a wee bit of a smile from the bonny little lad.
Can’t wait till I get mine! You two are adoRAble together!!!
Oh, thank you. I was having fun with the wee fella. đ
I got mine a week before Christmas! He’s so cute!! My friends said, “Let me see Richard!” Then they snickered over how small he is! I said, “Well he is a dwarf after all!” And he makes me smile!!
I don’t know why it took mine that extra time, I was beginning to worry he was lost . . . anyway, I am just glad he arrived safe and sound. I think he’s simply sublime just like the CReAtor. đ
So cute… đ
I also have received my Thorin plush and I love it. I have also the Lego Thorin and recently, I have found in a toy store the Gandalf plush. So, Thorin plush is not alone, lol.
Lovely! I wish I had a plush Gandalf, too. I saw him in the bookstore and he was very cute. đ
Gandalf plush is the cuttest of all “The Hobbit” plushes. đ
đ I really need to add another item to my collection like I need another hole in this old head. But Plush Gandalf is awfully tempting. đ
Verryyyyy tempting, lol.
Oh, you vixen, you. đ
Me ??? Nooooooo…. I am a very good and nice girl lol.
Yeah . . . . riggghhhhhhhhttttt. đ
Ok, let’s say that I’m a very bad girl and I need to be punished. So, where is the sexy guy in black ? lol
*grins very, very naughtily as he pulls out his smartphone (SMARTPHONE? When the heck did he get that?? I don’t even have a fancy-shmantzy one like that!!) and taps something into it* “So–what are the coordinates for Lady April’s location? So I shall know where to visit her . . .” Good thing the man has a lot of stamina . . . đ
Just give me his phone number and I’ll call him, to be sure that his has the correct address, lol.
I wish you a nice week-end. đ
Let’s see-it’s 334-555-HOTT đ You have a great weekend, too, hon. đ
Lol. đ
You just got yours this week? Ok, I’d been wondering but too busy to track mine down. It’s probably on its way to Wisconsin.
Yeah, I had been preoccupied with other things myself and hadn’t tried to track mine. So hopefully your Plush Thorin is homeward bound.
This Plush Thorin is soooo cute! You look great, Angie! Beautiful pictures! đ
He’s just adorable, he really is. And thanks so much, Thais for the nice compliment. đ
You look stunning and radiant, my dear Angie, and I can’t see anything wrong with your hair to be honest! đ
Ah, thank you, sweetie. The good thing about sticking with the blonde hair color, is it blends better growing out with my natural white/silver than if I used a darker color. It doesn’t scream at you, “DYE JOB!” LOL It’s just becoming more and more resistant to color. I’ve been trimming my own bangs along the way, otherwise I would bear a distinct resemblance to an Old English sheepdog. đ
I’m glad your Plush Thorin finally arrived!
Me, too, I was beginning to worry someone had stolen him!
