Mega Yarn Yoshi is the latest madcap idea from Nintendo to expand its line of amiibo toys-to-life figurines and this time they've really outdone themselves.
This gargantuan monster stands at a smidgen over eight inches tall, dwarfing its standard-sized Yarn Yoshi compadres who stand at just three and a half inches. As such we felt it our duty to give this giant amiibo the respect it deserves in a number of different ways.
First of all we have your usual unboxing, where this reporter was lucky enough to see this wonderful thing up close and personal, and now you can too!
But that's not all; we also have a special surprise video that we think you should check out just underneath. It's not something we've ever done before so we hope you get a kick out of it.

Yoshilla xD
I kind of want a Yoshilla now and I was doing so well resisting.
whats with the bit at the end with the smoke and somewhat ominus music o_o?
Nvm lol didnt see the 2nd vid.
Mega Yarn Yoshi is a cool idea though. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of parents picked it up for their kids during the holidays. And I hope Toys R Us paid Nintendo a lot of money to get it as an exclusive.
Yoshilla was cute too.
I did get my son Yoshi's Wooly World for his birthday in part b/c of the inclusion of the yarn Yoshi. I don't think he's used it in game yet though as he always plays 2 player with his brother.
The "(Not Really)" in the Yoshilla trailer broke my heart.
@rjejr That was the trophy gallery music from Smash Bros. Brawl. And I have to admit, it made me feel like I was looking at a trophy.
Yeah, but the thing is that amiibo is 60 dollars. That's the price of a full Nintendo game. Most plushes that size are 20 dollars at most, and apparently the amiibo technology is cheap because a pack of 3 Amiibos cards is like 5 dollars.
That plush should be 25 dollars at most, but Nintendo decides to make it 50-60 dollars. That's insane.
I'm surprised you didn't use the mother brain battle music from super metroid for Yoshilla. Its the first thing that I thought of when they announced this.
@Kirby_Fan_DL3 ...It's $40....
Yoshilla... now that's how Nintendo should have advertised the Mega Yarn Yoshi.
Cuteness overload
@Yoshi if you're buying online then 55$ is the cheapest I've found
The prices might be different in store, though
@Kirby_Fan_DL3 If you're not buying from TRU, you're buying from a reseller, so of course the prices will be jacked up higher.
$40 is the MSRP. I think it's a fair price. Come one, the quality is alright!
If you're arguing because of a reseller price, you could as well argue because "Nintendo" is selling factory wrong WRITE YOUR AMIIBO NAME HERE at $1,000 on eBay.
And every one in that City block had their Wii U and 3DS tagged by Yoshilla at the same time.
Welp that was a fun watch Alex!
I have one too. Needless to say, being the Yoshi fan I am, I absolutely love it! It's so adorable, I think I've had enough sweetness for an entire year. Nothing will ever beat these yarn Yoshi amiibo in cuteness. Nothing at all. These things are the absolute definition of cuteness!
Yes, even Yoshilla. Thanks for that laugh, guys. XD
@Giygas_95 "That was the trophy gallery music from Smash Bros. Brawl. And I have to admit, it made me feel like I was looking at a trophy."
Trophy wife maybe. I should probably go back and edit that out now, sometimes I forget my filters.
I must get one of those amiibo. Also Lol at Yoshilla xD
Seen these at the local Co-op here in Norway, they are looking 500 kroner for it, which is a bit steep.
Bought one on day one. The TRU that is walking distance from my house sold out of them in the first hour. So I traveled 30 miles to another TRU that still had 4 left, and I picked up MewTwo along the way.
I really don't see anyone fighting for those Animal Crossing amiibos, though.
