  What I'm trying to do is change the pose of the Lego Mario Yoshi but the way it is built I cant see any way of moving anything.

  ### Answer by username_1 on 2023-11-01. Score: 9 | Accepted answer
  
  I finally got around to making an attempt at designing a pose for Yoshi.
  
  I received set [71406](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=71406-1) Yoshi's Gift House as part of [2023 Q2 Activity Support](https://bricks.meta.stackexchange.com/a/606/13390), from which I could have a copy of the original Yoshi as a basis for the task.
  
  I tried to remain faithful to the style of the original Lego version, while still capturing the 'reaching forward' and 'open-mouthed' look of the new pose.
  
  I also kept in mind to limit the additional parts required, and try to use commonly available parts if required.
  
  See my result for yourself:
  
  [![yoshi with tongue out](https://i.sstatic.net/7YAPEl.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/7YAPEl.jpg)
  
  It's a fairly simple assembly, this photo should be easy to follow:
  
  [![yoshi assembly](https://i.sstatic.net/Jz9HLm.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/Jz9HLm.jpg)
  
  Only ~10 additional parts are required. (I didn't own ALL the desired colours and parts)
  These are the ideal parts you'll need to recreate it: *(replace Lime with whatever colour your Yoshi is)*
  
  | Qty | Colour | Part |
  | --- | --- | --- |
  | 2 | Lime | [Bracket 1 x 2 - 1 x 2](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=99781&C=34) (shown here in Light Bluish Grey) |
  | 1 | Lime | [Slope 30 1 x 2 x 2/3](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=85984&C=34) or 2 of [Slope 30 1 x 1 x 2/3](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=54200&C=34) (shown) |
  | 1 | White | [Slope 30 1 x 2 x 2/3](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=85984&C=1) or 2 of [Slope 30 1 x 1 x 2/3](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=54200&C=1) (shown) |
  | 2 | Lime | [Plate 2 x 3](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3021&C=34) |
  | 1 | Red | [Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Open Stud](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=85861&C=5) |
  | 1 | Red | [Bar 6.6L with Stop Ring](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4095&C=5) (shown) or [Bar 6L with Stop Ring](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=63965&C=5) |
  | 1 | Black | [Brick 1 x 1 with Studs on 4 Sides](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4733&C=11) or perhaps another colour |
  | 1 | White | [Slope 30 1 x 1 x 2/3](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=54200&C=1) |
