Here's a comparison picture I tried to put together with a screenshot I had from the earlier build:
The distance from the camera fools you a bit, but they look about the same size compared to the player model, I'd say.
I don’t know, to me they kind of do look like they are a tad smaller O_o
... that said, It could be my eyes... I'm not the springiest of chickens these days
That would make me a long-dead broiler
But, to me, those two shots make it look considerably smaller now. I admit it could be the perspective or differences in the model animation positions. But it looks like the player's head doesn't quite reach the second-from-bottom crest spike in the first shot, while it's well above it in the second.
I'm pretty sure they're exactly the same size. It's just that one has a different background, a different Direhorn, and she's sitting in a different spot, tricking the eye because of the comparison of those things. Look at where the Direhorn's foreleg is on both of them. Lower on the screen one than the other. So one's standing further back than the other.

That's what makes me think they're smaller, actually. The red one is standing closer to the camera, and it still looks smaller. Usually it would look disproportionately large.
I snagged another comparison shot for everyone since I had one from the previous build too. I did my best to line them up the way they were in the old picture.
I personally don't feel like they've gotten any smaller. Sorry for one pic being bigger, but the horns on it seem to reach about the same spot around that panda in both. :3
I'm questioning why they put a Triceratops on THE ISLE OF GIANTS, yet is even a hundred times shorter than the tamed Devilsaurs. I was imagining a Direhorn to be up to my Tauren's arm or atleast hand. But no, we're going to send a dwarf TriceraAnkylasaur to death. Ugh...
"The arrogance of man is thinking that nature is in our control, and not the other way around."
I'll note in those last two pics, that Pandaren are very tall--they're easily as tall as a night elf.

Someone on the PTR needs to take the *exact* same Direhorn for a comparison picture. Each one I've seen uses a different colour in the pictures and it can look confusing.

I would if I had any screenshots of unchanged skins before the new build(s) as the only one I tamed at the time was the green one with blue stripes. And even so, (with much regret) I didn't take all that many screenshots to begin with! I really didn't expect they'd change the textures when they didn't look unfinished to me or anything of the like that would've entailed a change.
Not all of the skins were changed, though. Or did the sizes only seem to change for the Direhorns that did change colours?
Sorry for seeming picky or pushy about this stuff at times, but I don't have the time (or patience!) to do anything with the PTR myself. I'm one of those wait-till-live people.
That's the thing though. I used an old blue for the original screencap and then used the new green. Both of which are the only to colors that have changed. -To me-, it felt no bigger, nor any smaller.
It would be rather odd for only certain colors to be smaller/bigger then others, but I suppose we'd only really know if someone had taken a screenshot of every one of them before the change and a screenshot after.
All in all, I really, honestly do not feel like they've changed sizes at all. It's really hard to get good screencaps unless it's planned out ect, because of terrain issues that may cause either the hunter or the pet to not be sitting evenly. Good comparison shots would need to be taken in an area with very flat surfaces, i.e Stormwind, Dalaran, Shattrath. Org is really bad for it as there isn't much in the way of flat surfaces.
On a side note, I've yet to reinstall the PTR on my computer because I'm lazy and don't want it to take all day and drag down what tiny bit of bandwidth I has. xD

That's about my take on it. The only things that changed were the colors of two dire horns and one devilsaur.
If there's not a noticeable difference, they probably haven't changed at all. I see no reason as to why they would change the size so slight that it can't even be seen.

Which also happened to be the three best skins there were
I was kinda 'meh' about the changes. The one I planned to tame was the green Direhorn but I like the old and new version so... I'm not gunna be picky about it.
