Why it works

Yoshi does something, and that sets it apart from most Mario figures: squeeze the tail and it sticks out its tongue and moves its arms, and with the tongue it picks up the apple that comes in the box. That simple mechanism is what stops it being left on the shelf.

Our verdict

It suits Mario fans aged 4 to 8 who play with figures. If they want it for collecting, the packs of small figures are better value.

They will like it if

  • they play Mario Kart or the Mario games
  • they like figures with a mechanism
  • they have a soft spot for Yoshi

Bear in mind

  • the apple is a loose piece that is easy to lose
  • it is a single figure for a mid-range price

What's in the box

  • Official Nintendo licence
  • Sticks out its tongue and moves its arms when the tail is squeezed
  • Includes an apple
  • Biting action
  • Can be used alone
