With the new 2.0.3 beta patch, skins and animations were added to the rewards menu. Here are screenshots!

Animations (They are all dances so far, but perhaps they will be adding non-dance animations at some point?)

The skins so far are for units and buildings, not the whole UI.

Terran skins

Zerg skins

Protoss skins

These pretty cool additions, I think!

I assume there will be a feature for disabling viewing of other's skins at some point, (for readability) but maybe they'll do a good enough job with them that they'll feel they won't need to add it. I don't see it any way to disable viewing the skins of others in the UI currently...

Bonus feature: They renamed the menu screen background options from "Zerg" and "Terran" to "Kerrigan" and "Planets".

Edit 1: fixed bonus feature.
Edit 2: Added link to Ultralisk skin video

Unfortunately I don't have any of them unlocked, and I'm not sure what the level or achievement requirement is to unlock them. If you're a higher level (as in experience points-based level) player or otherwise have the new skins unlocked, please post screencaps!

Epic! Can't wait to see them.

I think that this is really step in the right direction, as long as the skins aren't too "distracting". I would love to play with Swarmlings in the Multiplayer. :D

Blizzard is doing now a great job in SC2 and I think is for the "pressure" made by LoL and Dota2.

Also I hope they also add new models too .

At the begining I was wondering why protoss only have 2 skin. Then i tough the third will be the collector edition when LotV will go out.

The skin will probably be the skin of the mercenary in WoL campaign for terran and mutation in HotS for Zerg

This sounds like a lot of fun. I'd like the option "both" for my skins, so that my Zealots, for example, vary randomly between the two possibilities.

I hope they do more animations. I'd pay cash money, for example, to make Infested Terrans do the Thriller zombie dance as an idle animation.

Hahaha... that would be great.

I really like what they are doing with the skins and animations. I'm looking forward to them and hopefully even more in the future.

Well im maxed out on Zerg Level but i dont have any of the skins unlocked. The ultralisk says it needs HotS collectors edition, while the other ones dont say anything when they're unlocked.

The achievements for the skins aren't live yet, i don't think. Guess it'll get added later today/tomorrow.

So can I use the Ultra skin already if I pre-ordered the CE?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
