      I similarly upgraded Gandalfs staff, trying to replicate how it is in the Lego game. Unfortunately though it required blue tac for the diamond to sit on top of an inverted stud lol.

    For the dwarves, I recommend giving them all mid legs. They're smaller than men but not as short as hobbits, plus all of the available colors exist too.

    The Lego Viking from the CMF is excellent for adding riders of Rohan and customs
    I also made Eowyn shieldmaiden with a Padme head, wavy princess hair in light yellow, a gimli torso because I had a ton of him, and legs with some mail details
    Plus a dark green cloak (I think it’s one of the shorter ones from Draco Malfoy)
