Not really American (Aussie),, not really vinyl (plush), but Cupco has some wild swamp creatures up on his Etsy site. (He also has a suicide bomber, but $$)
Golopolis is an alien invader with hideous skin folds and dermatologial infections which surround a heart full of gentleness and real warmth. He comes to destroy the earth to take us away to a better place, within the confines of his stomach and intestinal tract! The suicide bombers are the best. I have one in a different colourway. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5495782
