I have never been one to play anthropomorphic animal characters, but whether I ever do or not, I'm impressed with the heads and legs shown in the trailer. I think they really look good.
Kudos to whoever made them.

Gleeeeeeeeee!
This is the kind of thing I've been hoping for since I signed on. No more making vague approximations and covering "muzzles" with Reaper scarves and rebreathers; my animal characters can show their faces!
The 23rd is going to be a glorious day; My SG is even starting a static animaloid team the week this comes out. ^.^

Cool tiger head. And pawed feet. I won't be using any of the photo-realistic animal heads or anything, but if there are over 60 parts I'll be able to find use for something. If nothing else I want it for the beast run so my monkeygirl can run around on all fours for laughs. |

I know it probably wouldn't work...but if Beast Run worked on Khelds in dwarf form, that would be so badass I would weep.

Where are people pulling this 23rd date from?

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
I've been camping the Facebook page in hopes of an announcement today. I had hoped it was the release of the pack but this is almost as good! I really hope it releases sooooonnnn! Looks awesome!

Really looking forward pack.
Actions speak louder than Vets.
New emotes, costume change emotes, beast run...
The new heads and tails looks awesome.
I hope we can add details, and hairstyles to that new heads.
Btw, I dont see any costume piece, like belts, chest details, shoulders...
I hope they add more than heads and tails.

Same here actually. My hope is that this pack sells so well that they do more Animal Packs with other animals (sharks, fish, amphibians, reptiles, etc.)

Sooooo I'm watching this trailer, and I'm loving what I'm seeing...until I come to the fight between the cats and the spiders.
The tiger is using Villain Claw style 2. Should we take this to mean that you guys still didn't manage to make beast claws for the claws powerset?
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
Really sweet! So far the only avian head mentioned is the eagle head. Hopefully more varieties will be available in future Animal Packs in the event those in the video are all we will be getting for now.
I'm just wondering how many magical girls are suddenly going to have talking animal guardians/mentors...
And if this is an Amerikatt approved product....

Lame. Probably the first expansion I will not buy.

I suspect they'll toss out a few free codes on their Facebook page and whatnot, like they do for most packs. Maybe they'll even have some of those this week...

Personally I wouldn't be terribly surprised if a pack with this much 'stuff' in it cost more than $10. I'm not sure it will, but it wouldn't surprise me either.

Thanks a lot, it's really cute and stuff and I can see a rush of Thundercat toons being created in the near future. |

Unleash the savage beast you've always wanted with OVER 60 new costume parts and patterns! Prowl the streets of Paragon City as a ferocious cheetah, stalk your way through the Rogue Isles as a bestial wolf, soar the skies of Praetoria as an eagle or lumber your way around as a monstrous minotaur. With new customizable heads, details, patterns, legs, and tails, you can go wild with possibilities! The Animal Booster also includes new emotes, new auras, four costume change emotes, and the Beast Run travel power, which will let your animal alter ego leap and bound through City of Heroes on all fours! We'll be shedding more information soon, but for now check out our latest trailer that should get you howling with anticipation! |
Pity it's all predators, feline and otherwise, and one mythical creature. Was pining for a rodent head. Ah well, guess I'll have to make do with what there is for my 14 rabbit/hare toons.
Nice work as always guys!
