Commanding the corner of Highway 1 and Gimpy Gulch Drive, Big Betsy the Giant Spiny (no claws) Lobster is supposedly the second most photographed artifact in the Florida Keys. Oddly, none of the Rain Barrel Village shops behind Betsy has any Giant Lobster souvenir stuff for sale. According to one of the shop owners, selling memorabilia featuring Betsy's likeness is forbidden due to some sort of copyright issue.

Wow. Gotta give credit where credit's due - that thing is amazing. What detail and appropriate proportions and such. As a prop, that is light years beyond any monster from a 1950's flick.
As for copyright issues getting in the way of souvenir claptrap, "attorneys." Especially intellectual property attorneys. They can suck the fun out of just about anything.
