Earlier this year we told you about a budget range of articulated Nintendo toys that are already available in North America, some of which are rather charming. The higher quality equivalents - the Figuarts range - are more detailed, however, and the most recent images of the upcoming Yoshi figure are pretty darn cute.
Due in Japan in May 2015, it's a stylish toy with some excellent poses. It also has a saddle that can be used in conjunction with the Mario and Luigi toys in the same range, which simply adds to the appeal.
This one will cost 4,536 Yen (about $37USD) when it launches, and we're certainly hopeful that this full premium range will make its way to the West.
We shall see, but let's just bask in the simply joy of Yoshi and the Bros.

Looks pretty cool, apart from the price
I wanna put him on my shelf
It looks awesome for the most part, that jaw line (between mouth and cheek) is really an eyesore though, and makes yoshi look more robotic. I get why thats 2 pieces, but that gap.
@KirbyKirbyKirby I don't know, the price seems pretty fair to me.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I WANT ONE <3
Awesome, but am I the only person that think that it makes Yoshi look old.......
To be honest the articulation of the Figuarts leaves a lot to be desired.
He looks too fat too me. What's he go in his cheeks?
The World of Nintendo Yoshi I bought for my nephew is more attractive and offers good articulation, even if it's not as much.
I want that Yoshi made of yarn that they made for the E3 showing.
I'd buy one. The price isn't too bad, but I may only be saying that because I was expecting it to be equal to $100 or something.
I'd prefer a Yoshi bobblehead that makes noise when you shoot it.
@JoshdahYosh Oh wow, it does! Five Nights at Yoshi's.
Luigi look very robotic. Yoshi ain't bad, but I prefer the plush we got from CN.
How does the retractable tougnue extend beyond the body?
Also these are neat. I have the World of Nintendo Bowser toy but IMO I'd rather have a solid sculpture as they display nicer.
@StarDust4Ever I'd assume that the extended tongue is a separate piece that can be plugged into the mouth.
Remember kids, if you're going to buy this, invest in some resealable food bags to look after the swappable parts.
I'll be ordering one, but mostly because I have the Bros to ride on Yoshi.
I like it.. But his arms look a little funny
The saddle is an amazing addition! I've been quite tempted to order Mario and Luigi, this isn't helping my resolve.
@ChessBoardMan exactly why I like static figurines: no parts to lose and they look nicer to display without the opposable joints.
I love the pic of Yoshi and Mario together! My 2 favourite Nintendo characters!!
