Take a look at the Classicsverse & G1 Comparison thread for a bunch of photos comparing contemporary Classicsverse toys with their G1 counterparts. In some cases the G1 toy is smaller, but in other cases they were bigger. It all depends -- but have a look through that thread and you'll see lots of side-by-side comparison photos.
I know, I somehow expected it to be bigger. They are still quite awesome.
