I think I preferred the tauren bear facelift more, if only because in their understandable efforts to take cues both from the original bear and from the color scheme that informs the starter areas of each race, you get a much warmer, livelier palette from the tauren whereas the purpley blue night elf colors tend to dull the look of the bear.
The badger-like white stripes on the face of the black one are nice. Not sure I'm liking the Crazed Old Man Ear Tufts sprouting from [in front of, it's true, not inside] each ear. If I wanted Crazed Old Man Hair I'd play an undead.
All I know is that the new cosmetic forms are activated in the Barber Shop, and that they are based on your hair and skin color.... That is how I understand it at the moment.
I hate to be off topic. But I've seen the PS3 birthday post, the Wii birthday and the WoW birthday. Hell there was even a Dreamcast birthday post. But where's the 360 birthday post? It's especially important because it's the dreaded 3rd anniversary, also known as the "no more warranty" anniversary.
@Mister_Jack: They were originally going to make it a sentient ice cream cone with explosive bladder problems, but then some schmup in the marketing department said that "bears were cute" or something like that, and everyone ate it up.
@Bagelmobile: Not on my server. Each of my characters has one. Weird. Well it is account bound, so once you memorize it you can mail it to your other char.

Anyway, how do these new skins work? Does it randomly choose how you'll turn out when you shift or are you stuck to a different new skin?

And considering I am the only one on staff who still actively plays World of Warcraft...
