This looks pretty cool. I'm hoping they'll do some more weapon/power customization so that our claws toons will be able to use their talons.

Still need a name for her, though...

This pack is of no interest to me.... however for the first time in a while it looks like it contains value for money. I'm sure a lot of people will get a lot of milage out of it. 
I'm not buying this one but I know this pack will sell fast! I'll probably start seeing Thundercat clones the weekend it comes out!

I'm kinda trying to keep my hopes up, but I'm pretty sure this is yet another cool pack I won't be able to buy in Brazil. We're blocked from that part of the NC Store and the stupid Brazilian distributor won't update their website to include the new stuff! Last one I got to buy was the Cyborg pack. I can't figure WHY they do that, it't not like they have to pay for shipping or anything...
Off-topic: I can't even buy game time in the NC Store with neither international credit card nor pay pal, so I'm forced to buy them piecemeal every two months and apply the time manually (and they're overpriced, to add insult to injury). Have to be real careful with stuff like the Vanguard Pack, so I don't slip for a day and end up loosing it.
Sorry for the whinning...

Very smooth looking, and quite wonderful news. With the advent of beast run, I,
and many others like me, will now have these animal-themed superheroes on
all fours and begging for scraps at our feet, just as they're meant to be.
I can only hope the emotes complete the circle of biped dominance with
/em spraybottle, /em rolledupnewspaper, and the sorely-needed
/em call_the_cops_on_the_guy_in_the_fursuit
Excellent indeed!
I think I just spilt milk on my lap.
Anyone got a tissue or sock?

One question. Will the Beast Run power come with the sound effects as shown in the trailer? Kind of hoping it doesn't, just curious.

Well, it's not really intersting for me personally, but I'll still get it to support the game, and it'll be fun to see all the new avatars people make with it - that's where the animal pack interest lies for me |

Laugh all you want, I'd buy that - my character Bad Tripster has been wanting a medallion for a long time now. Add a Village People biker-style mustache and it'd be golden ...

They advertise 60 costume pieces? I guess most of them did not make the video. Right now I am leaning towards not getting this pack but will hold off until I see all of the items.
I am a little surprised we don't have shark heads, monkey/gorilla pieces, snakes (including the torsos much like the snakes on the Rogue Isles) and bears. These are all fairly popular and would have been cool to see. Ah well. I am not a big 'furry' fan so I will likely pass on this pack. I really hope we can get back to more superhero stuff in the future packs (I know this pack fits but it is more niche than main stream).

Seriously? Yer seriously right. This needs to come out by weeks end, chrissakes. 60 frickin' costume parts and the long awaited and oft requested 'Beast Run'-cripes that's hot. Me want now. Me need pack now.|

Of course, my existing hybrids/mosters will get upgrades, too. Just can't wait for being able to switch as thematically needed between Beast Run and Ninja Run to mimic parkour.
Primarily on Victory, Virtue, Justice, and Guardian, in that order.
