OMG Bears! (Of The Druid Variety)
OMG. . . Bears! Look at all the pretty bears in the picture above, makes you kinda drool. What you see above is the regular skin plus five new skins that Blizzard will be adding to Tauren Druid bear form in the upcoming World of Warcraft patch (3.2). That's right, the oft requested unique skins for both the cat and bear form models for both druid races (Tauren and Night Elf) are slated to be included in the next major patch to the game. Currently Blizzard has only given us the above image of the six Tauren Druid bear form skins, but they plan to unveil the the cat form model and both Night Elf models in three future installments.
Blizzard also announced the manner in which players can change the skins for their models. All you have to do is go down to your local barbershop and change you characters hair color if you are a Night Elf or your character's skin color if you are a Tauren. Each hair or skin color will correspond to a different skin for your cat and bear form, with some obvious overlaps due to there being more than six colors of skin and hair.
I have to admit this is pretty exciting for anyone that plays a druid regularly on World of Warcraft, it might almost be enough to get me to start playing the game again after a year of sobriety. I can pull out old Desruption and be the prettiest bear tank on the (ice)block of Northrend. I'll keep you all updated when the other model pictures are released.
UPDATE: Added the Night Elf bear form skins released today below. Enjoy!

Wow... i may actually start playing again! It only took blizzard 4 years to realize they should offer druid customization options! Seriously though, as someone that played a druid from launch until WOTLK I really question why they were so reluctant to include different animal form models. Beggars can't be choosers...well now i guess they can :)
