I would like to eventually see a re-vamp of the bear model as well. And plus, some of the items on the bear don't fit, look awkward, or are hidden inside of the character (such as necklaces, eye glows, etc.).
Oh, and one idea I have for all the new playable models- What if each species had it's own specific action? (such as the wolf howling, or the bear being able to stand on it's hind legs). Just a thought.
