Summon and Interact

[Skitt_Happens]

A summoned model may not take interact actions. The Yokai and Betti both have other actions that make them/an Oni minion perform/take an interact action - so this can't be done on the turn they are summoned, right?

I know it sounds a stupid question, but unless I misunderstood, in Justin's interview on Malifools he seemed to imply the Yokai at least could do so. Just got my models and after reading the cards, I don't think they can.

You can`t make interacts not only in your activation but during the entire turn.

Some actions/abilities can let your models place scheme markers which are not part of an Interact action and this is legal. An example of that is Finish the Job

The Yokai are useful for setting up Interact actions because they can get a free Flicker +1 when they're summoned (which they gain above and beyond the Flicker +1 that they have from Asami's summoning action), in addition to that free 3" placement when their Flicker reduces from +2 to +1.

So if you want to threaten an Interact next turn, you can summon a Yokai without needing to use any markers.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought: just checking their wasn't an errata or subtlety in the rules I'd missed.
