Wave 2 Kingdom toys

Whilst I'm disappointed that they seem to be going for a larger size for the minibots seen in Warpath and Huffer, I must say they look awesome and I will definitely pick them up. Dinobot and Magnus look great too, while I will probably skip the latter since I like my Siege Magnus.

One of the things I've noticed is why are the Deluxe boxes so big when the toys inside barely fill it, feels like a waste of space and more deceptive considering that the clear windows are smaller now (apart from looking more impressive in store shelves of course). The figures look great though.

Cool, wasn't expecting an earth-mode Ultra Magnus.

In terms of space, you can comfortably put four or more of the same toy (in alt mode without plastic tray for presentation) in a WFC box. IMO, you're right about the boxes being a certain size for presence on the shelves. Many of the size classes are smaller than what they used to be. The boxes, from a Hasbro's marketing perspective, probably help to justify the cost of the toy.

I'm wondering how much remoulding has gone into the Earth mode Magnus.

The front cab and bumper are definitely new - it will be interesting to see if there is an engineering change here to have the pivot point higher in the figure or whether Magnus's inner robot will have a boxy body
The shoulder pieces are missing the 3mm peg which indicates that they are a new moulding (detail unclear to see whether it has a flatter design without the "vents" of the Siege mould
The red chest of the outer robot has been remoulded to be more square and consistent with his animation design

Other people note that the head seems to be a little different too, with more material around the jaw, but this could just be the photography

Looking forward to Inferno, but would have really appreciated Beast Wars Inferno.

Having skipped Siege Magnus, I am curious to see how this new one looks. Airazor has me interested, as does Huffer. Bring on PIPES I say!! I think I'll be skipping the boney-bots. I was never THAT big a fan of realistic beast modes, so missing the meat isn't really doing it for me either. (robo-beasr? HELLS YAH).
But yeah, thems thar boxes be ... I dunno. Nice big artwork though.

I've never been into Transformers emulating organic beast flesh but find these skeletal toys enticing somehow. Definitely will be getting some and wish I could know what they all are in advance.
