I think if you're making a life-sized T. Rex out of anything it's going to be expensive. They're big!

Melissa & Doug offers a 51" plush T. Rex, but the color seems unnecessarily polarizing:Ver archivo adjunto 5206834
Melissa & Doug is known for their wood toys, but they do make nice jumbo plushes. They balance huggability with a firm interior structure--I haven't seen this one IRL but I have no doubt that it really can stand unsupported.
Why does the dinosaur have child bearing hips?
Storage is going to be a big problem, but also very important. You get it wet once, or God forbid a pet pees on it, and it's going to be difficult to clean. Probably have to be at least a partial restuff. Stained fake fur is hard to treat; sun-faded is impossible and you'd end up with a dinosaur Ship of Theseus.

What about a life-sized statue instead? They're designed to be outside and they're just as visually-striking. Easier to climb up on, and all you'd have to do is keep the curtains open on that side of the house to enjoy seeing it all day.

I don't know how much a plushie of that size costs, but I'd be surprised if the statue costs much more at $5k:

Get a little replica for your desk. There are plenty of cool nice looking dinosaur models out there and some of them aren't that expensive. You could get a really expensive one. I have a few of the ones made by Papo because they look like the ones from JP. I have a Rex a baby Rex and 2 raptors. I was going to get the triceratops and stegosaurus because they were also modeled after the JP dinosaurs. But I kind of lost interest. They look good enough to display. You can also repaint them if you want.
 
If it's survived the many years since it's death to now, it'll probably be pretty durable, even to the sun & rain. I do not know how you would stuff a fossil though. They seem a bit brittle.

Is that a cat that has gone full psycho and hallowed out a large plushie bear to wear its skin?
 
I need a plush T-Rex for my bedroom so I have something to snuggle with at night because I'm an unfuckable hate nerd and want to forget that I am exactly that at least for a while. Seriously though I can't imagine it being cheap, but $5,000+ for a statue is insane for most people.
