Their names are Thorin Oakenshield, Bilbo Baggins, Dwalin and Balin, the dwarves. They are all mini Lego minifigures and by that I mean that they are shorter than normal Lego minifigures. They are the same size as Yoda, from Star Wars Lego sets. (See previous Yoda post)
Thorin is the king of the dwarves and comes with a sword and a small axe. Dwalin also comes with a sword. Bilbo, however, comes with Sting, his elfin-made sword, and the one ring to rule them all. Balin comes with two giant hammers, that are even bigger then he is!
These characters feature in the Tolkien books and in the recent Peter Jackson movies. They are on a quest to slay a dragon - or at least to have their own kingdom returned to them.
Thorin Oakenshield, seen above on the far left, has a rare hairpiece as does Dwalin next to him. Bilbo comes with a regular hobbit hairpiece and looks quite like Sam in this regard, from Lord of the Rings. However, Balin, on the far right, is hairless - he is bald and has tattoos.
These are great minifigures - a real must for all Lego, Hobbit and Tolkien fans.
