Nintendo 5" Figure Series 01 - Yoshi is an intricately detailed vinyl figure. Yoshi is a friendly apple-green dinosaur with a white belly and clunky brown shoes. Yoshi appeared in Superior Mario World, during which he assisted Mario as a mount. Yoshi was additionally useful in that he had the ability to gobble down various enemy types and would sometimes regurgitate said enemy types in egg-form. Few things suck more poignantly than getting pummeled from Yoshi and being forced to watch him obviously run away.
This figure is bigger than the picture might convey - 5" is no lie. The mold is nice. With a squared stance and fists clenched, tweak his head to the side a bit, and he's ready for his next brawl match. The joints, located at the hips, shoulders, and neck, move smoothly but maintain enough resistance to pose. It seems like the sockets might easily become disconnected if pulled on too hard, though. The paint job is fair, and there are a couple of spots (spikes, saddle) where the clear glue ran, but from a few feet the figure looks pretty impeccable. I bought this just to sit next to the television for decoration, and for that it works amazingly, but this also would probably be a good toy for a child that isn't really aggressive with his things. The price gives this product the extra oomph. If you just want a cool (officially licensed) Nintendo knicknack, for ten bucks, you can't beat this. Five stars.
