Resizing characters

I made a complete character for a little animation with lots of switch layers, bones, etc.
My plan was to make new characters with little modifications to the head and resizing the whole body. But when I horizontally streched the main switch layer with the scale layer tool, I noticed that when I move a body part, it is only streched horizontally (it reshapes atutomatically, which is not what I wanted). Well, this behavior is logical, but this technique seems to be the only, that doesn't envolve resizing the bodyparts individually and adjusting the bones, whitch is a lot of work, assuming the big number of characters I have to make this way.
Is there a nother quick solution for this problem?

Instead of using the Scale Layer tool, use the Scale Points tool on the actual vector shapes.

Well, I could, but my character consists of 4*48 vector shapes, and I have to make like 4-5 scaled copies of it, so it would be too much time consuming work...
