THE HOBBIT - POP Movies N° 2187 - Thorin (MT)

Meet Thorin Oakenshield with this Funko POP! Movies No. 2187 figurine inspired by The Hobbit. This edition features a metallic finish, which accentuates the sheen of his armour and gives this depiction of the Dwarf king a distinctive look. Funko states that the figure stands approximately 10.4 cm tall.

The figurine depicts Thorin in his guise as a warrior and ruler of the House of Durin, with his long dark hair, beard and intricately detailed armour. The metallic finish particularly highlights the various pieces of his armour and sets this version apart from standard depictions of the character. Funko officially presents this edition as a celebration of the expedition undertaken to reclaim Erebor from the dragon Smaug.

Made from PVC/vinyl, this POP! joins the Funko collection dedicated to *The Hobbit*, alongside figures such as Bilbo Baggins and Azog the Defiler. It comes in the traditional POP! Movies display box No. 2187, allowing the figure to be displayed without removing it from its packaging.

Origin and character lore

Thorin II Oakenshield is the son of Thráin II, the grandson of Thrór and an heir to the prestigious House of Durin. After the dragon Smaug seized Erebor and its vast treasure, the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain were forced into exile. Thorin subsequently became the leader of the people of Durin and harboured the ambition to reclaim his family’s ancestral kingdom.

In the year 2941 of the Third Age, Thorin leads a company of twelve other Dwarves, accompanied by Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey, on an expedition to Erebor. Bilbo is recruited as a burglar to help the company gain entry to the Lonely Mountain. During the journey, Thorin also comes into possession of Orcrist, an ancient Elven blade from Gondolin that is particularly feared by Orcs.

After Smaug’s death, Thorin finally reclaims Erebor and briefly becomes King under the Mountain. However, his attachment to the treasure, and in particular to the Arkenstone, leads to a conflict with the Men of Lake-town and the Elves of Mirkwood. The arrival of an Orc army ultimately forces the Dwarves, Elves and Men to join forces in the Battle of the Five Armies.

Thorin is seriously wounded during this battle and dies after reconciling with Bilbo. His cousin Dáin Ironfoot succeeds him as King under the Mountain and permanently restores the Dwarven kingdom of Erebor. This POP! Metallic No. 2187 thus pays tribute to one of the central characters of *The Hobbit* and to the ruler who devoted his life to reclaiming the kingdom of his ancestors.
