Spore Patch #3 is right around the corner according to an email MaxisCactus sent out to Spore fansites.  Best of all, in the 3rd patch, Maxis will release 24 new parts – 12 arms and 12 legs.  She also sent out 5 new images of creature renders that were created with these legs, as well as parts from the upcoming “Creepy and Cute” Pack.  Very nice, especially the GreenGuy and LadyDragon!

Here’s the whole email:

Hey everyone,

A new Spore patch is just around the corner!

We’ve heard your requests for more parts, and we’ll be releasing 24 new exoskeleton limbs for free in this patch! This includes 12 new arms and 12 new legs to make your creations creep and crawl along.

We’ve rendered out five high res creatures that use these parts in case you’d like to post the news on your sites early:
