Basically what it means is that if you have older figures that keep to true 25mm, when you use them with modern figs they look like children next to their counterparts. Not as bad as, say, using 15mm figs with 25mm did (I used to use 15mm figs for halflings vs. standard 25mm figs for humans), but it is still jarring. Reaper's "Dancing Girl" figures are as big as some early 25mm Ogres!
