Andy Warhol Banana Plush

there are 12, 24, and 36 inches sizes and each one has zippers that people can pull back to see its inside. The price of these bananas in 36 inches is about 110~120 dollars. So these 36 inches bananas are like expensive designer plushs. btw, There's another called Andy Warhol Sam the Cat Blue Pillow.
