Pandaren Special! Character Creation and Emotes!
A lot of people are interested in the pandarens, here's a special news just for the panda lovers out there.


  • Character creation is definitely a work in progress, and so far only the females have the red panda + tail variation. We'll track any update in future patches.
  • Emotes are also in progress, the female is still missing a lot of them but it's perfectly normal in early stages of the beta. No dance yet.

You should definitely check the emotes video at least, the art work on Pandaren animations is pretty impressive and look like they will be a refreshing change.

    I couldn't agree more, these animations are incredible compared to the rest of the races, save for perhaps worgens & goblins

    Dat animation.And I thought the vanilla races looked outdated enough already.

    The eyes! Holy carp, look at the eyes! Fantastic. On the female especially, they look like they're rolling around like real eyes in there - no more floating pupils and glowey bumps! Whatever you might have to say about the general look of the models, you cannot deny that Blizz has kicked the quality of the models up a couple notches here. My poor tauren weep for polygonal justice.

    They really should take some more time and release the upgraded models of all old races at launch of expansion. Compared to this, its really going to suck to play mains of old races. But they are probably splitting the update to old races between patches as a move to keep people interested through the life of this expansion."Patch 5.2: New Raid Tier, New Arena Season, Character Model updates to Nelf and Belf!!!!!!"Its all good though ^^

    If the females really do get caramelldansen, with the size of their booties, it could prove deadly to the rest of us.

    Not playing wow anymore but these animations are rly awesome! And the dances will have a traditional asian/chinese/japanese theme, 99% sure.

    Holy mother of god, the animations and expression in those models is simply...woah. But, that's why we need new Tauren models RIGHT NOW!

    That's quality work right there. I hope the model revamps are as awesome as this.

    That's been called countless times by people when Pandaren were first announced, myself being one of said people. :P

    And I'm going to do that dance on your grave, then. xD

    Strange... brown female pandas have a tail, black don't have one. Maybe the tail length will be one of the other character creation buttons which are currently unassigned.

    The character creation screens look promising... hopefully that will be for every race, not just the pandas. The animations and expressions as a taste of things to come... I am impressed. Now, blizzard... give us 25 or 50 slots per realm, and I'll be very happy to play!

    Because the brown ones aren't supposed to be traditional pandas, they're more reminiscent of red pandas, which are kind of like the love-child of a raccoon and a panda.

    In a lot of Samwise's Pandaren art, the females are typically red pandas while the males and children are tubby Giant Pandas.

    I'm strongly hoping for the Truffle Shuffle.
