Actually, she looks like a cross between a giant panda and a red panda.

I love it!!! I can't wait to roll (and roll, roll, roll) one!

Or a red panda

That is the 'Red Panda' version maybe a little but the black and white concept art definitely looks like a panda.

Need to see her in action. Body type looks very similar to female dwarf; I was hoping for closer to the female Tauren, or maybe a 50/50 tauren/dwarf split. This looks like a 90/10 dwarf/tauren combo. Maybe if they just made her a wee bit taller and stretched?

Definitely much better than the female worgen though

The one from the header pic looks better. I jumped to the cut right away and missed it. Looks better on the Blizzard site - No offense Wowinsider! Just seeing her move I guess. A perma grin is better than a perma snarl. Just looks too feline in the face and nose. Probably being overly critical at first blush.

Red Pandas are related to Racoons in real life!

Does the red panda scream bear to anyone else more than panda? I'm talkin "Heeyy Yooogi!" That was my first impression, and a tail... kinda..kinda confirms it, even though the tail I'm sure is differen than a bear tail.

@Khristalyn: I take it you've never seen a red panda. They have long, bushy, almost fox-like tails.

Considering that racoons and pandas share so many characteristics that they were long thought to be offshoots of the same species, that isn't as unusual as you seem to suggest.

The only thing 'raccoonish' about it is the eyes. Raccoons certainly do not have 'bear-like' snouts like that. Raccoon's snouts are more pointy. Like an opossum.

It'd be nice if they put a raccoon tail on her instead of the current RED FOX tail that the current model has. Seriously Blizz, have a reference photo when making skins for models. Red pandas have red-orange and peach alternating rings on their tails, like a raccoon. Why the fox tail? http://wow.joystiq.com/photos/female-pandaren-customization/#4911689

I find it weird that people have posted videos and the red panda Wiki page up here and nobody has noticed that it's the wrong tail. lol Please change the tail so that it is the correct color. But, don't change anything else!
