My mother got this large, limited edition Avanti d'oro lynx from a plush toy representative in 1984. She had a children's clothing boutique in Hilton Head, SC. As she related it to me, the rep wasn't supposed to sell the lynx, as it was strictly a 'show' item, but she eventually wore him down & got it for me. I can't find anything like it even mentioned on the Net --first time Google has failed me. Mom passed away in 1997, so I need some outside sources of info to give me an idea of its value.
