Not planning on racechanging my hunter--Magli's all dwarf, and after all these years I can't see her as anything else. Heck, I can't even change her hair style without it feeling off.
My #2 these days is my druid, and that's obviously not going to change.
I'll probably run some kind of panda through the starting zone, though, in order to see it. And for the opportunity to punch Wrynn in the face.

I might race change my shaman, still debating on it though (she's currently Orc). I do plan on my Monk to be a panda though. Never my hunter she's staying the same race forever

I don't think I'll be race-changing any of my current toons, but I've got placeholders waiting for future pandas.

The pandas never interested me. Sure they have great models and animations, but I cannot see myself playing a panda.

You know what, depending on when, if and what the new human model looks like when revamp it, I would could be very tempted
Yay!
Lots of conditions there, but yay! xD
Just throwing it out there, since I too went from elf to human and it somehow magically worked.

There are 2 things about human females that make them especially cool in this game (for me):
1) They are rather small - not so's you'd notice right off, but when standing next to a pet, it causes their pet to look larger
2) Unlike most (all?) other races, their weapons are scaled for males, e.g. they don't use a smaller "female" scale - so even greens often appear epic(ish) on them

True and true. Human women are actually pretty close to blood elves in terms of height, but because they're more rounded than the elves, they feel more substantial next to their pets.
Regarding the weapons, I definitely notice that many (most!) of them are huge. I especially notice this when wardrobing crossbows. Unfortunately, this also means that I don't feel compelled to use many of them, simply because they're TOO big.
To steer this little sidebar back to pandas, I haven't actually studied the pandas' weaponry to see how it stacks up proportionally. There's a lot of potential for interesting visual combinations with the rounded pandas and more squared-off weaponry (Final Voyage, anyone?).

Might be changing my blood elf hunt main to a panda, starting to really like the females. Not sure yet though lol.
Defenitaly rolling a female panda monk though.

I really wish I could afford it. I have a lot of Blood Elves and would love for my BE hunter to become a Panda hunter! But it's going to be a while before that happens sadly.

Don't care for panda shooting animations. My panda monk and panda warrior will do. Although now I'm missing a goblin and I'm out of slots on my server.

As far as race changes go, I don't see any of my toons changing.
My Main Astratia, I wouldn't change her if you paid me

Heck, I can't touch any of her features such as her hair or markings, because it just wouldn't feel like her.
My Druid, Alethina well, obviously can't be a panda. Besides, I like her as a NElf as well. I enjoy my twisted Worgen warlock too much, and even have a background feel to her, so that's out.
The only consideration for a while was my baby Worgen warrior. However, I play the warrior class so little that it's not worth the change. Plus, I'd much rather want to start a fresh Panda rather then change a low level toon I rarely use.
Thus, I may be making a Panda Monk, and am even tempted to create another panda hunter and reolve her stables around a few Chinese Themes.
