Is it just me, or are the monsters bigger than they used to be?

Salutations and denigrations, fellow hunters! Something that's veen nagging at me since my first encounter with Rathian and Rathalos (at the same time, wearing bone armor. Oy.) At first I thought it was just adrenaline, but I could have sworn they looked bigger than they did on the 3DS, and not just because it was a bigger screen. Then I got to Teostra, and i was dumbfounded by just how...**BIG FUCK HUGE** he was. Maybe it was the fact that I was surrounded by exploding magma death, but I don't ever remember Teo making me feel so miniscule. (Side note: I was screaming about how badass Teo felt now, especially once He started glowing with internal heat. Great job capcom). I booted up 4u this afternoon trying to see how high I stood next to that version, and I definitely feel he used to be smaller.

Has anyone else noticed this or am I nuts?
