This is likely made by the same company. It looks a great deal like Draco-Lich 1.0. This Draco-Lich 3.0 'decoration' is between 24-30 inches long! In true 1/72 scale, where one inch equals 6 feet, this model is 144 scale feet to 180 scale feet long! For 2e AD&D, this is in the ballpark for an Ancient Great Wyrm!
It will require that the screw holes be filled in, with White E6000 Glue, or some other filler (spackle?). Once the holes are filled in, the model can be washed, preferably with a dark brown paint, or urethane stain. The wings can be covered with white paper, stained, or painted, an appropriate color. If you use just the brown wash, you can then press this monstrous model into service as a Draco-Lich of any type needed (the wings are faded, after centuries of un-life). The tail of this model, is bendable, and posable.
Where can you find this Draco-Lich? Jo-Ann Fabrics stores! If you are lucky, you might find it on sale, or you may find a coupon to reduce the price.
The price tag shows that they realize they have a marketable 'decoration', which likely will attract an audience beyond just Halloween fans! This Draco-Lich model clocks in at $39.99USD! Looking at fantasy model figures, this is still a sweetheart model! This thing is HUGE!
The wings are hinged, like Draco-Lich 2.0, however their range of motion is more limited. This is a massive beast! The jaws are hinged. The model is entirely bone, except for the ears, behind the eye sockets. I would recommend painting these to model leathery, mummified skin.
My Draco-Lich 2.0 is still a work-in-progress. I now have two such Drago-Lich models in my collection. I can't justify a third model, and with its humongous size, it would be a stretch to incorporate it into my 2e AD&D RPG games, as well as my 2e BattleSystem games. It is rare to find such a large dragon model, which accurately demonstrates the 2e Dragon sizes of an Ancient Great Wyrm!
I still hope to run a Council of Wyrms RPG, with PC Dragons. This is really the only way that I could justify getting this model. If you have a desire for a huge Draco-Lich model, this is the largest I've found yet. To be honest, anything bigger would be too big for the 25mm-32mm figure scale for such a model. Cheers!
