Hahaha that is pretty funny. and i think the revised size is pretty good. I think it works out much better, though we will need the orbs placed on him to complete the look. But we can understand the limits of animation if becomes too difficult to work with all that detail.
Also, remember the anime scene when Guyot walks up to a poor confused mook?
He pops up.
----
looks pissed
----
mook notices
----
Gets bigger
----
and Bigger
----
AND BIGGER
----
and finally mook soils his pants as he's killed.
Also consider the camera angle is still making the mook look bigger in comparison than he actually is.
