Easily the most adorable addition to Nintendo’s amiibo range, retailers have today begun taking pre-orders for the Yarn Yoshi amiibo.
It is GAME and ShopTo that have so far sparked an early price war, well aware that, coupled with demand already surrounding Nintendo’s successful toy-to-life venture, their cuddly designs will similarly draw in the crowds.
Each retailer has the Yoshi’s Woolly World and Green Yarn Yoshi amiibo bundle, separate Green, Light Blue and Pink Yarn Yoshi amiibo, with GAME throwing in more choices.
The Yarn Yoshi amiibo are priced higher than we’ve come to expect, with the Super Smash Bros. and Super Mario amiibo collections having initially ranged between £10.99 – £14.99.
