12" figures! Mantaro, Kevin Mask, Terry Kenyon and JAEGER!
New 6" figures! Wally Tusket! Scarface! Checkmate in centaur mode! and BONECOLD!
Sadly there is a downside, they look like they have action features that will eliminate some articulation.
None of them have the excellent chest articulation of the first wave, but more problematic (if you prefer articulation to action features) is they look like they will have very limited hip movement. They look like they have v-crotch hips.
Judging by Bandai USA's past Power Ranger stuff, if they use a leg squeeze combined with the v-crotch to activate, that means that one hip will not even be able to rotate! still the arms look decent.
BoneCold looks like he will have a button activated swivel waist, but may or may not have elbow joints in both arms (hard to see the right elbow in the pic.)
Still, awesome character choice. Wall is big enough that the lack of full articulation is not so bothersome, same is true of centaur form Checkmate.
I would have prefered regular articulated Scarface and Bone Cold, but hey, any new Kinnikuman is good Kinnikuman!

The 6.5 Checkmate looks REALLY lame!
The new colors on the 1.5's are sweet, and the poster? YES!

NOTE THIS IS MY GUESS ITS NOT OFFICIAL!!!!
Wally has a clubbing action with teh fish,
checkmate is just the horse leg add-on,
green-guy up and down action with sword thing as it looks as if there is a tab there,
Big Kev. i presume both arms wail up and down,
as for the other 2 i got no clue. REMEBER ITS JUST A WILD GUESS!!!!
What i am currious about is taht the ring has hooks on each of the turnbuckels, "wuts up wit dat?"

Anyone else catch the commercial for the toys this morning? It was on toward the end of Foodons. There was a really clear shot of a cool painted Meat. The commercial said that "there are over 100 mini figures to collect". There are only 60 currently available, if they're advertising more, I bet the new series hit the shelves soon.

The 40 pack is going to rock! Great packaging and it has some new colors and clear figures. Thumbs up to that.
Yay!! A poster of all the micro wrestlers!! Great idea. I love it.
The wrestling ring for the micro wrestlers is so f'n cool!! That is a must have item. I also dig the fact that they made spectator stands to set around the ring.
The good thing about the second wave of 6.5" figures is that they have MUCH better paint jobs than the first set. The downside is that I much prefer excellent articulation instead of action features. Eskara, Wally and Kid Muscle all look good. I don't know why they are giving us another Kevin Mask figure instead of a Dik Dik figure! The Gren Turban guys doesn't do much for me. And I love Checkmate, but that Knight figure is kinda lame. They should have done a Checkmate figure in Rook or King mode. It would have looked cooler.
I love the 12" figures! They have crackin' good articulation for such big figures. Plus, size does matter. A 12" Kevin Mask figure will be sweet.
Overall, I am very happy with the new Kinnikuman toys that Bandai has planned.

Damn, I missed the commercial, again. Of course, I avoid Fighting Foodons like the plague. I watched TMNT after UM, but didn't see any ads.*drools* 40 pack *drools*

On the top left corner, it says Series 9 - 12.
I thought these were series 5 - 8 figures. That's a series 10 pack. I guess we're gonna see 5 - 8 very soon, If they gave us a taste of series 9 - 12.
OH MY! OH mY! Oh my MY mY!
