Not quite like I pictured him, but close
I imagined him to be more man-like; a longer face, but I think the fingers on the figurine are a bit too long, and I can't see any toes which are long. Here's the description from Book 3, Chapter 4:

His face is very simlar actually to a troll in moria. They should look alike they are very closely connected.

He looks like I pictured him as well, though I agree that the finger seem to long.

Pretty much what I imagined. I don't think the fingers are too long.

Everyone who read the book must have an other picture in his head, how this ent look like - my opinion is, he must like look like a great oak, hundreds of years old, thats not very "hasty" - but i´ve not seen him in a trailer.

Well, true, Sween, the Ents SHOULD look like trolls, because if you remember from the books, ents were taken and broken and twisted by "the Dark Powers" [Morgoth] into trolls. Good of Jackson to keep this resemblance....
I think I have an idea where the Entwives got off to. I bet you a dollar to a donut hole every last one of 'em were captured by Sauron and sent to the breeding pits.......can you spell Olog-Hai?

Hmmm . . . the skin looks right, but I pictured him as having more bushy, twiggy hair, like the beard.

Of course not. You should be able to predict my feelings on this matter!

'that ent was made for fighting that ent was made for fighting'. It is now clear to me we are going to see the attack on isengard.
The fingers are the clue they would not be so long if they were not obvosly the wepon of the ents. dont forget all the Ents are diffrent looking so we are in for some more fun.

Is this what Treebeard will look like in the movie? It doesn't look like him in the trailer (from what I've seen). I checked the source and I believe it is a toy of Treebeard. I really really hope so.
