Editing Merchandise/Keychains

Those who [[Merchandise/Event-exclusive|pre-ordered]] {{hp}} in Japan from the store amiami, received an exclusive set of acrylic Pikmin charms each with mini carabiners and chains allowing one to easily clip them together. The four charms include a Red Pikmin, a Blue Pikmin, a Yellow Pikmin, and the ''Hey! Pikmin'' logo.

In 2013, [[Merchandise/List of companies #Nintendo|Nintendo]] released a set of five Pikmin keyrings exclusively to Europe. These keyrings include a Red Pikmin clinging to an apricot, a Yellow Pikmin lying on top of a strawberry, a Blue Pikmin carrying a raspberry, a Rock Pikmin sitting on a plum, and a Winged Pikmin transporting a grape. These were released via two methods: the Red Pikmin and Yellow Pikmin were rewards on the European [[Merchandise/Club Nintendo|Club Nintendo]] website, and were purchasable for 1700 Stars each, while the other three were [[Merchandise/Event-exclusive|pre-order bonuses]] from a European store called "GAME". The store let buyers choose one of the three keyrings when pre-ordering ''Pikmin 3''.

 

[[Merchandise/List of companies #Takara Tomy Arts|Takara Tomy Arts]] released a collection of keyrings in February 2014 based on ''Pikmin 3''. The keychains are comprised of Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Blue Pikmin, Rock Pikmin, and Winged Pikmin types, each with either a leaf, bud, or flower, bringing the total number of keychains to fifteen. They are designed to clip onto each other from top to bottom so that one can create "ropes" of Pikmin. These were common to find in Japanese dollar stores. In 2021, Takara Tomy Arts re-released the set under the ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' logo instead.

==Takara Tomy Arts ''Pikmin'' keychains and mascot straps==

On {{date|18|March|2002}}, [[Merchandise/List of companies #Takara Tomy Arts|Takara Tomy Arts]] released a set of Pikmin mini-figures attached to a chain and clip. The figures consist of a Red Pikmin, a Yellow Pikmin, and a Blue Pikmin, each with either a leaf, bud, or flower, as well as a red pellet, yellow pellet, and blue pellet and an Olimar figure. The keychain clip would come with either two or three figures, as well as a tag with the Japanese Pikmin logo. Keychain clips that contained Olimar would also come with one other figure, while keychain clips that did not would consist of three various figures.

In July of 2004, these mini-figures were re-released for ''Pikmin 2'' with more variants, and this time as phone charms. The new variants included Purple Pikmin, White Pikmin, and Bulbmin, with leaf, bud, and flower variants, as well as a figure for Louie and the President. The logo on the tag was updated with the Japanese ''Pikmin 2'' logo.

Due to the popularity of the first set of mini-figures, as well as the recent release of ''Pikmin 3'', in June 2013 the figures were released a third time, again based on the first ''Pikmin'' game. Once again debuting as phone charms, they include Olimar attached to the strap, with a Pikmin attached to a new ring on the bottom of Olimar's feet. The set contains nine different keychains which feature Olimar and one Pikmin. The Pikmin with Olimar varies between a Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, or Blue Pikmin, and has either a leaf, bud, or flower.
