Bifur has now officially been added to Weta Workshop’s The Hobbit line of 1/6 scale sculptures. The sculpture shows Bifur in a very dynamic pose ready to throw his halberd and all of the details are absolutely stunning. Other dwarves that Weta has released are Balin[3], Dwalin[4], Kili[5], Fili[6], Thorin[7], Nori[8], Gloin[9], Bombur[10], and Bofur[11]. All that’s left now are Ori and Dori!

A veteran of the Orc War, Bifur the Dwarf bears the scars of battle, including the remnants of an enemy axe lodged in his skull.
Rendered incapable of speaking the common tongue by the injury, Bifur barks only gruff utterances in Khuzdul, the secret language of the Dwarves, and is prone to acting on sudden random compulsions. He is sometimes turned around or entirely absent of mind, staring off into the distance where some abstract notion has lead his thoughts to wander, or captivated to exclusion of all else around him by the intricate workings of the toys he crafts for his keep.
When his cousin Bofur joins the company of Thorin to retake Erebor from the Dragon Smaug, he brings Bifur with him, as much to keep an eye on the eccentric old Dwarf as for the sharpened boar spear he wields. Wayward in wit he might on occasion be, but Bifur is a fearless warrior.
