Description
Thorin, lord of the Ice Dwarfs. Ice dwarfs Live high up in the mountain ranges of Several different regions, unlike their cousins who like typical dwarfs, live deep underground. (its unclear if I'm giving him a bionicle story or otherwise) As a dwarf Thorin is a bit taller than most of his kind. It is joked that in a crowd of dwarfs one can always pick out the members of the king's line by who's head is farthest from the ground. Thorin is equipped wit his blizzard axe and gauntlets, both of which are created trough a process the ice dwarfs have mastered where they fuse ice and crystals. They simply call it crystalice It is very durable and easy to make. It is also joked that "if an ice dwarf made it, only and icedwarf can break it." The name Thorin was taken from the Dwarf leader in J.R.R Tolkien's The hobbit.

This figure was very difficult to get to work right. His head was very non-cooperative, but after a lot of messing wit it I finally got everything to work out. And with his head I utilized the actual shape of the strakk Mask and glatorian head piece to pretty much hold everything together on him. I also got to utilize 1, my chain pieces as his hair and beard after initially coming up with the concept on The suffering and 2, many of my light blue pieces that mostly came off of my Superbattle droid set, which is where I got those metallic blue parts seen on my alien space ship , and 3, those interesting "ice" parts that came from strakk. I wish I had more ice parts from other glatorian sets to fill this look out, but alas, strakk was the only ice glatorian set I ever got. I think the fact that I was able to get tis good of a result from a first draft shows that my skills as a MOCer are improving. Really, you guys over estimate my skill.

Update
sent me some Parts and in them included the snowflake shield pieces. from Agori Metus set. I told him if I got them I'd put them on Thorin so I did. I also updated his shoulders, legs and hands from the previously pictured version, and added some small pieces to the back of his feet. His hands are even stabler now which is good cause I don't like flimsy builds. The Metus shield pieces also keep his hair from flopping all over the place and getting tangled up in the rest of the MOC when handling him.
