Please... please if we start adding in animal heads...
Please include a running posture that's a 4-foot digitigrade gallop. Allowing for further control over the torso and limb length would allow players to include characters that were animal/human hybrids or even just mostly animal heroes.
I would wet myself in joy.

Making new ways to change your body shape, new body sliders would have to be requiring a similar scale of work to making a new body type like Female huge all together.
All of the costume pieces across huge, male and female models would have to be edited to work with new extendo arms, legs and torso and having a new 4 foot run animation for players would be incredibly labor intensive, unless it was like walk where you couldn't do anything but run and jump, no powers from that mode etc, then it'd still probably be a lot of work and who knows how many clipping problems you'd run into with costume when characters are now sprinting on all 4s.
I simply can't see either of those happening. Certainly not new body sliders, the on all 4s run animation, maybe as a walk type thing, an alternate movement mode for movement only and no powers, but even that I think seems questionable as to how realistic a request that is.

In theory a new beast run would be no more work than Ninja Run, although 1) I really don't know how much work Ninja Run was, 2) Ninja Run doesn't come without its own set of problems, and 3) you'd always stand up and animate normally when actually fighting

I think I19 Strike pack will be I19.5 with a few fixes and rare and ultra rare enhancements for the Alpha slot. Free.
The animal booster will be a different thing. Paid.
I have 0 interest in the animal pack if is going to be heads and claws from different animals... This is the third pack I will not buy, with mutant and origins (and of course party pack).

I'm hoping for Monster Heads, Monster Feet, more Tails, Gloves, Upper Arms and Wings, at least. These are some of the categories which have had NO ADDITION to them since CoV. It'd be nice to have a few monster heads that don't suck.

Maybe it comes with a cool options, lets see.

Not every pack can suit every player (even if all of the previous ones have suited me), but if this is true, then I'm just happy to see they're doing something to expand the range of characters we can make, rather than adding in "still more plated tech" for the umpteen bajillionth time.

Nitpick: There have been a few new wing types. Offhand, I recall Mutant Pack wings, 2 types of Valkyrie Wings.

Indeed, I used to love my stripped out Archers loaded down with 4 ER PPCs, Some SWARM LRMS and as many ER Lasers as I could pack in there then chained together. Sure every time I fired the mech would almost shut down but you couldn't argue with the results.

But I'm with you. I'm inclined to think that every communication vehicle should get the same feed rather than rely on players to cross-pollinate.
edit: and FWIW, I think the most interesting thing about the bird-man is that those do not look like monstrous legs to me.
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

I am still hoping for decent looking human feet for a couple of characters who go barefoot. I'm really not thrilled with the boots-with-toes-painted-on look.

I am not entirely convinced it is the angle, the width near the knees doesn't look right for monstrous to me, but you are likely correct.

Hehehe... I'm hoping that this has more versatile pieces than just straight-up animal parts. As I said in another thread, there's not much you can do with a zebra head except be Mr. Zebra Head Guy but I've seen the parts in other packs used in tons of creative ways. But I know a lot of people are just dying to be Mr. Zebra Head Guy so I can't complain too much about it.

I'll get the pack - even though I'll never need any of the animal parts

I'm betting that the new costume pack will not only include new animal heads, feet, hands, but also new running animations. Such as quadrapedal movement. From SexyJay's in game comments that were posted on the boards by a player, I'm guessing that the pack will be limited to wolf and bird types.
But where are the TAIL FEATHERS??
