Was there a running change on flyin Brian?

I remember ordering my first Flyin Brian E47B figure and someone pointing out how out of scale he was. He was as tall as Razor Ramon and the fix was switching with Scott Dawson legs to fix the height issue. Anyways, fast forward to me damaging my Flyin Brian and having to buy another one. Well the new one arrived today MOC, and when I took him out, to my surprise his height was fixed!

Was this a known running change?
