RARE! Large GILA MONSTER Plush Realistic Shiny Scales Claws Spike 26" L x 12" W

Dimensions: approximatley 26.25" long x 12" wide x 5" tall Colors: black, red, tan, muddy olive green, brown This reptile plush is so fricken cool! At over 26" long and 12" wide (from outer claw to outer claw) and weighing more than 2 lbs, this lady is substantial. Her scales are very detailed and are shiny, just as they are on real reptiles. Her underbody is gray. To me, she looks like a Gila monster with her rounded head and big claws, but as far as I know, they don't have spikes on their back, so I'm not sure if she's based on a real lizard or something more imaginative (if anyone knows the answer, please comment). The body and legs are filled with something heavy and somewhat firm. This is a plush but it's not squeezably soft and it's clearly not a toy; the claws, the tail and the head have beanbag filling. There are no tags so I searched online but I can't find anything comparable. I have no idea who made her or how old she is. She may be an art piece. Whatever her backstory, she's fantastic! This big mama would look amazing displayed on a fireplace mantel or sitting across long shelves, chilling on a coffee table or getting cozy on a bed. Condition: The claws on the left side are not as stiff as the claws on the right side. They're floppy. The spikes on the back mostly stand upright but lean to the lizard's right. Some are starting to lay flat (see photos). There are no rips, tears or odors. This item is in very good condition. Crosslisted.
