This is a great product overall, and the sheer value is impossible to beat as a less expensive alternative to miniatures. Unfortunately, the 2E Bestiary Box repeats the biggest mistake of the 1E version: Too few pawns of common, low-level baddies (skeletons, ghouls, wolves, etc.). While I appreciate that there are cost constraints in play, a single extra sheet devoted to these guys -- even if it came at the expense of including multiple copies of some of the more obscure monsters in the Bestiary -- would have made the box vastly more useful for new GMs (or GMs just getting into pawns).
The pawns themselves are exactly the same form factor and material as the 1E pawns, but the art appears to be all new. As one should expect, the art is distinctly "2E" style, which makes these slightly less useful for other games (though this is to be expected as Pathfinder continues to develop it's own visual style). The box is about 1/2 inch taller than the original Bestiary Box, in order to make room for what looks like several additional sheets of pawns. The box did get come with bases, including one colored (blue) medium base.
Gargantuan remains a monster size we can't really do with pawns, due to the size.
Is that due to technical reasons?
I have seen actual pawns bigger than huge size and they looked great, but it was a different kind, as they were four cardboards slotted into each other without bases.
Can't you do something similiar as a separate product?
"Bigger monsters" do have a market imo.

How big would a flat gargantuan pawn be? If it's much bigger than (roughly) 8 by 10, it wouldn't fit in the usual box.

A gargantuan pawn is large enough that we'd only be able to fit one on a page. We could fill the leftover space with mediums and smalls and maybe even larges, but that doesn't change the fact that we'd need to put a LOT of sheets in there to cover the number of gargantuans we want to cover. Furthermore, we don't offer Gargantuan bases, so we'd have to solve that problem as well. And finally, the size of a Gargantuan pawn pushes beyond the boundary of aesthetics... it starts feeling weird to some folks for something that big to be represented by a single two-dimensional thing. (I've seen home-made pawns of that size in play and they're unsatisfying looking, in my opinion...)
Would folks really want to spend 20 or 30 bucks just to get a dozen Gargantuan pawns? I'm not sure there IS a market for something like that.
We've been doing pawns for MANY years, and have spent a lot of time considering how to do Gargantuan pawns in a way that's cost effective that won't lose us money. So far, we've not figured that out. It might be a better model for a smaller company with smaller print runs, perhaps. But the realities of production for pawns has, so far, made it a not great option for us.

Not that one anecdotal hand raise is a market, but I'd probably subscribe to pawns again if there were Gargantuan products, and I'd definitely buy a Gargantuan pawn pack before I'd buy yet another small/medium/large/huge box.
I've spent about $20-30 bucks a year every year for five years to print, cut, and paste my own Gargantuan pawns to cardstock, for both Pathfinder and Starfinder and mostly using CUP and fan art. I'm lucky to have a crafts store two blocks away that carries everything I need, down to loanable cutters; most don't.
Having them professionally printed, cut, and pasted would be worth it for me, for sure. A pack of chromatic dragon pawns for $35? I'd use the hell out of that vs. one $35 mini of one kind of dragon that I still have to paint, store more carefully, and repaint when I inevitably screw it up when trying to travel with it. A pawn, I could chuck into a book or binder and not have to worry about it.
One of these bad boys will hold about 4 sets of first edition pawns.
On average each one of my containers (mind you, I've swapped some bins between the totes for sorting) contain the following.
Each compartment can hold:
Small Bin w/ Small Pawns: about 34 pawns to a bin.
Small Bin w/ Medium Pawns: about 17 pawns to a bin
Medium Bin w/ Large Pawns: about 17 pawns to a bin
Large Bin w/ Huge Pawns: About 10 pawns to a bin.
Why not just give the Gargantuan creatures a huge-creature size? And put a * or other sign on the card so people know it is gargantuan, better that than to ignore them entirely... People can just use rocks or other stuff to block out the other space the gargantuan creature takes on the map...

You'd have 1 star reviews that go "pawns printed at wrong size" and people calling customer service that there's a misprint in their box and demanding a replacement as well as peed off store owners because they replaced a box that a customer showed as faulty and the new box is faulty as well.

Then they can better drop the pawns, and just focus on the battle cards.
Charybdis never getting a pawn is reason enough for me to never be interested in them. So I go with the cards from now on.
That seems a rather counter-productive attitude, but as my friend Connie Crete says "ya be ya".

Hm. My very rough count indicates that something north of 5000 pawns were published for 1st edition. That's a lot of pawns - and most of them are probably just as useful for PF2. Won't stop me from continuing to buy pawns, but still...
The colossal size has been cut in PF second edition, which makes things simpler.
But where is the point of offering stats for big fearsome creatures to fight on a 3D Battle map, when there is no way to reasonably represent them?
It's works for real-life creatures as the T-Rex or common fantasy-monsters like dragons to find a toy to represent them, nur cool creatures like the Baomal will never see table-time unless you custom-build them and that can't be it.

Just plomp a toy dinosaur there and use your imagination.
I just use things of approximate size and square usage.
Yeah, i do that too.
I used the D&D Icons Gargantuan Black Dragon for "Black Magga" in the Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition and also as "Roc" in Mummy's Mask.
There are players which have no problems with this and there are others who are taken out of the illusion by it.
In my experience it depends on the atmosphere of the game and the creature represented.
In todays market, where Wizkids is releasing colossal D&D 5e creatures as a miniature, i think that a set of pawns (something in which Paizo is the market-leader) representing truly big creatures is an opportunity.
There is a russian company which makes affordable 3D buildings with moving parts and in which minis can be placed out of cardboard which are in scale with D&D & Pathfinder, so i don't think it isn't doable.
It's just something new which hasn't been done, an innovation.
Well, if anybody hoped that the existence of Starfinder has led to disappearance of robotz with lazors from Pathfinder, they're in for a major disappointment.
It's a scyfy setting heavy on fantasy where Pathfinder is fantasy with a bit of everything. You have dragons in Starfinder and robots in Pathfinder.
Pretty sure they haven't said they won't do robots or other tech stuff in Pathfinder since Starfinder exists, and they're no less important than the thousands of other monsters that also haven't been printed.

Pretty sure the Tarrasque is important.
The Tarrasque is important to D&D it is, I actually hope we get a more mythology-accurate Tarasque this time around.
And less, far less Robots, they should stay in greater numbers in your favorite starfinder.
