FOCO is selling a new Yoshinobu Yamamoto bobblehead that portrays the Los Angeles Dodgers co-ace with a bighead and in bust design.
Yamamoto is wearing the home white Dodgers uniform and in the action pose of throwing a pitch. The scene includes a thematic base that features Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles cityscape, palm tree accents, a movie reel and Griffith Observatory replica.
The Yamamoto bobblehead is limited to just a quantity of 48 units and won’t be restocked once sold out.

A Yamamoto bobblehead also is available in FOCO’s field stripe design that includes turf on the base that has a cracked dirt design.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto update
The 25-year-old remains on the mend from a right rotator cuff strain and is making progress in a throwing program.
“Yamamoto is stretching it out a little bit more beyond 100 feet,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I think close to 125, something like that, 130. But until he gets off a mound, we really don’t know a whole lot.”
Roberts added the Dodgers medical staff had informed him Yamamoto is not dealing with any pain in his right shoulder.
“So now he’s just trying to strengthen his arm by playing long toss,” Roberts said.
The Dodgers transferred Yamamoto to the 60-day injured list earlier this month, which made Aug. 15 the earliest date he can be activated. A realistic timeline doesn’t have Yamamoto returning until late August or the beginning of September anyhow.
