Dwarves of Middle-earth are short, but tough, with a strong but ancient sense of justice and an abiding love of all things beautiful. Typically, dwarves live for 250 years and are known primarily for their innate abilities to smith metal and stone. Gimli™, a proud and strong-willed Dwarf, is a mighty warrior, quick to draw his axes in battle. He is the son of Gloin, and accompanied his father to the Council of Elrond at Rivendell, where he was chosen to represent the Dwarves in the Fellowship of the Ring. After the Fellowship became separated, Gimli™ fought valiantly alongside Legolas and Aragorn in the Battle of Helms Deep. With his unshakable determination for success, he proves a valuable aid to the Fellowship. The helmet design incorporates a series of geometric shapes to suggest the precision and solidity of the Dwarven armor.
