From the Archives: Hamato Yoshi (1990 film)

Recommended music: Chola Orange – The Ballad of Hamato Yoshi

On this #TurtleTuesday post from the archives, we’re heading to 1990. It’s the NECA Toys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Hamato Yoshi!

Although a figure based on the animated version of Yoshi with a different backstory existed, this release marked the first appearance of the character modeled after the 1990 live-action film. It was exclusively available in the “Shadow Warriors” two-pack with Oroku Saki.

The set features well-sculpted, fully articulated figures, multiple weapons, additional hand and head options, and a cage for the two included rats. Yoshi’s pet rat mimicked his owner’s movements and later became the full-size Splinter.
