Please fix the Binturong model

Hey just remember. When Sonic the hedgehog movie was first revealed, fans were horrified by Sonics design even Sonics creator was horrified. Because of the outcry and negative backlash, the producer decided to redesign Sonic, the movie got delayed by 2 months and they redesigned Sonic and gave him a more faithful look and he even looked happier. Sure enough the movie was a success everyone agreed Sonic needed that makeover.
would anyone be down with them pulling the binturong to give it a makeover and re add it a bit later?

This springs to mind:

In the main thread, it was mentioned that the species signs for the babirusa would not be ready in time for the pack's launch, so would be patched in later. This appears to be the same situation - the binturong is not ready yet, so the same logic should apply.
I'm not saying that this should become the norm, and that it's fine for them to sell packs based on promises of content that will be added later, but I would rather them take the time to get the thing right, even if that means delays.

I would be perfectly fine if they just release it as it is, and alter the appearance of the Binturong in a later update. IF I decide to buy it.

That Sonic was terrible in every way. I'm not that negative about the Binturong.
 
I think it's fair to say that every animal in the pack is derived from an existing base. Even the sun bear and proboscis monkey were likely built from the existing work of the brown bears and mandrill.
 
I think if they had used the red ruffed lemur as the base for the model while using the red panda rig it probably would have been more anatomically accurate, Particularly the head shape, the feet (with minor tweaking), the slenderness of the body, and especially the tail. I think basing it off the red panda is what hurt it the most. It's not abysmal, just anatomically inaccurate.
