Giant/Jumbo Tokays?

I went to the big show in San Diego today and one of the vendors was offering a freakishly large tokay; she had labeled it as a "jumbo tokay" or something to that effect.

I realize that tokays are already among the largest geckos, but this thing was unbelievable. It had the size and heft of a large adult bearded dragon or, put another way, it was the size of a large Calcedonia gecko but thick enough that I couldn't have wrapped my hand all the way around the body. It retained the typical blue/orange tokay coloration.

Does anyone have any information on these? I can't seem to find any information online, but the size/shape leads me to believe that this must be a separate species or subspecies and not just an exceptionally large individual. Any thoughts?
