1 - Never said he had to be big as in tall, just big as in muscular. Beast has been depicted as varying in body type, true, but he's been shown as bulky even as far back as the pre-fur days, bulkier than the Jackal body that everyone and their mother is trying to push.

2 - "Some new artists"... you do realize that, even ignoring the differing art styles, he's been pretty consistently drawn with a broad, muscular physique as far back as the late 1980s, right? Given that we're now in 2018, and he's been around since 1963, that's close to half, or even over half, of his entire existence. Sure, some current artists might be drawing him more exaggerated, I don't know. I haven't seen him in more than a guest appearance in a book for a while now (aside from young, pre-fur Hank in X-Men Blue). But he's been drawn for around thirty years as a lot more muscular.

Look, ya scalemonger, I'm not saying there's not room for both versions - in fact, I encourage it - but the style that a lot of people, including non-comics fans, are more familiar with is the bulkier version. So I'd figure that Hasbro would be inclined to go that route.

I was more basing it off of evidence rather than stated intent. Sure, there's outliers, but there's more supporting it than not.
