Jakks Pacific, a leading name in licensed video game toys and collectibles, has officially revealed the 'Let's Go, Yoshi!' interactive figure—its latest addition to the hugely popular Super Mario merchandise range.

This announcement solidifies Jakks Pacific's ongoing partnership with Nintendo, further expanding the assortment of character-based toys inspired by the legendary Super Mario franchise. The new Let's Go, Yoshi! figure stands 12 inches (approximately 30 centimeters) tall and is designed to appeal to both collectors and younger fans, with a recommended age of 3 and up.

The interactive Yoshi toy is set to release in both North America and Europe this October, available in stores and through online retailers, offering fans an engaging way to bring one of Nintendo's most beloved characters home. Key features of the figure include 13 points of articulation, allowing for a wide range of dynamic poses that make Yoshi suitable for display or imaginative play.
