How 'bout a white-haired dwarf?

I love the Dwarves :D . In fact, I think they're the greatest thing ever in Castle LEGO. But so far LEGO has only made three beard colors and two molds. Now, I'm not complaining, after all, there's only been three sets with Dwarves (and all in one "wave"). What I'm saying is that I would love to see an older, white-haired dwarf using this head.

This has been probably my favorite head since it came out in the Viking line and seeing it on a Dwarf would only double the awesomeness 8) . Plus, how cool would it be to have a wise, 500 year-old Dwarf to rule.

God bless.

Well, they did make this beard in white. http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/pict/2701 ... 8080_2.jpg
However, this is not in the Dwarven beard "style". You know, the braids and such. That beard isn't very Dwarfish. And I haven't seen them in a while. There was a gray one in Citadel of Orlan from KK2 but other than that... oh wait. In the Advent Calendar and Holiday Train they had those in white on Santa Claus.

There are three colors in the 2008 Dwarf beard assortment; dark brown, black and orange.

In the classic beard there are three colors; old light grey, new light grey (bley) and white.

Don't forget the giant Hagrid hair/beard piece in black.

There are rare color one-off beards out there available on Bricklink. Perhaps this new style braided beard will become available in white.

Personally I want tan, dark red and reddish brown in the braided beard assortment, and a matching hair piece for the beard element.

Yes, white beards would be nice. On the note of beards I just ordered a couple of those black beards on MAGICBRICKS.

P.S. Does anyone knoe if the stuff on MAGICBRICKS is made by LEGO or are they made custom?

They are made by Lego. Usually the parts in strange colours are production samples and mold tests, and were never released in any set, which makes them rare but they exist, and were made by Lego.

If it get us some white hair, I'm all for it.

Apparently, Lego people all die young or go bald...

All of these colours would be nice. I voted yes.

I agree that I would like to see more colours for the existing moulds (personally I'd like to see every element in every available colour ;)), but we do already have white & grey beards, & they work great for dwarfs.

I've used those "older" beards for dwarves (which work great) and wished they had more colors for them too. I agree that there should be more elements in more colors.
