Troll Druid Forms

For anyone who doesn't new blizzard released the finished Troll and Worgen druid forms, for cat and bear. Now personally when i first saw the Troll forms I was a little put off but now that i think about it the only thing i was mad about was that there was no orange one despite them being tigers. Images after the break




Now looking at them most of us will agree that they are a bit gaudy and crazy in the color department but theres a little but of information a lot of people have forgotten.
Description: The jungle trolls' bodies are covered in short, soft fur that causes the trolls to appear purple or gray. Jungle trolls are also unusually lithe relative to other trolls.
This is from the blizzard Troll Compendium meaning you can take it as the canon lore. Looking at the fur colors they are almost exact matches to the "skin" color choices (though each one covers a range of color choices) for troll characters same with the hair colors. In an ideal world you could have the fur color and hair color be independent of one another and match up with the hair and skin color of your character but the current design of the models prevent that, however with the way the worgen create works we can see that it's not impossible. I can pretty much guarantee that my druid will end up with the bear form in the center (Green fur/ Blue hair) and the cat form and the bottom center (greenish fur/blue hair) so I'll probably just give him blue hair, a color combination i haven't used because of the corresponding face paint color (which should be an independent option in its own right and linked with the tattoo color). So no we don't have a realistic tiger which from lore standpoint is a bit confusing, unless all the wild tigers start using the troll druid model in the echo isles, but for the troll race as a whole it works. As for worgen, then look good to me very grounded though i would've like a little more canid features, (a wolfish tail for cat form maybe) but ignoring the S&M leather straps they look good to me and on the bear they look more like badass knuckle gloves.
