Looking for carnegie brachi review that talked about gaits

I thought for sure there was a review on the DTB for the old carnegie brachiosaurus, but I can't find it. I remember reading a review of this figure that talked about the gait being incorrect (the fact that on one side, the front and hind limbs are angled towards each other, and on the other side they are angled away). Does anyone else remember this?
My living room smells like old plastic dinosaur toys... Better than air freshener!

Took me awhile to find it as the contents section does not seem to be working tonight. It mentions that the posture of the legs looks "uncomfortable".

Hmm, it must have been something different that I read. I remember it was also mentioned that many museums also make the same mistake, putting their quadrupeds in incorrect "walking" poses.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I've been working on a fix or the broken contents page. Basically, there are now so many reviews that the memory is exceeded for that contents plugin. eek!

EDIT - fixed by increasing the memory :) So now, the best way, at present, to find a specific DTB review, is to consult the content page. It lists all the figure reviews in alphabetical order: http://www.dinotoyblog.com/contents/
