Now for sale from FOCO is an exclusive Yoshinobu Yamamoto press conference bobblehead, released in recognition of the Los Angeles Dodgers officially welcoming and introducing their latest prized free-agent signing.
Yamamoto’s press conference at Dodger Stadium featured Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes delivering opening remarks on stage, and manager Dave Roberts and agent Joel Wolfe also were among those in attendance.
The new Yamamoto bobblehead has him holding a home white Dodgers jersey in No. 18 and wearing the team’s trademark blue cap. The final design of Yamamoto’s bobblehead is going to feature the outfit he wore to the introductory press conference.

Along the front of a Dodgers-themed base is Yamamoto’s name and the team’s trademark logo.
Also alongside the front of the base is Yamamoto’s jersey number with text that reads “ESTD 1958” for the year the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. The backboard of the bobblehead displays “Welcome” in large text, similar to versions released for Kiké Hernández, Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow and others.
The Yamamoto press conference bobblehead stands 10 inches tall and is limited to 524 total units. It will not be restocked once quantities sell out.
A limited amount remains available of FOCO’s first Yamamoto bobblehead that was released to commemorate his signing with the Dodgers.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto excited to start Dodgers career
When asked if he grew up fond of the Dodgers, Yamamoto said he watched the team and liked them, but stopped short of calling himself a longtime fan.
The 25-year-old nevertheless is thrilled to have sign with the Dodgers for the start of his MLB career.
“I am beyond ecstatic to become a member of this historic franchise and cannot express how much it means to me to be able to call Los Angeles my new home,” he said.
