==Sanei Pikmin plushes==
===First release===
In 2001, nine Pikmin plushes were released by the Japanese Company [[Merchandise/List of companies#Sanei|Sanei]]. The plushes consisted of the first three Pikmin plushes each with either a leaf, bud, or flower.

===Second release===
In 2004 they re-released and re-tagged the first set of plushes to focus on ''Pikmin 2'', as well as releasing 9 more plushes. These new plushes consisted of Purple and White Pikmin, each with either a leaf, bud, or flower variant, as well as a plush for Captain Olimar, Louie, and a red Bulborb. The Red Pikmin, Blue Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Olimar, and Louie plushes are all approximately 7 inches, while the Purple is approximately 9 inches, the White is approximately 6 inches, and Bulborb is approximately 10 inches.

===Third release===
On April 10th 2018 they released a brand new set of plushes to presumably focus on ''Pikmin 3'' or ''Hey! Pikmin''. This set contains new versions of the first three types of Pikmin; red, yellow and blue. Excluding the Purple and White Pikmin, it now has the Rock and Winged Pikmin. The Red Pikmin has a leaf, the Yellow Pikmin has a bud, and the Blue Pikmin has a flower, the Rock and Winged Pikmin both have the new purple flowers introduced in ''Pikmin 3''. Those five Pikmin are also joined by a new version of the Olimar and Bulborb plushes from the second release. Olimar's suit is now a softer, felt-like material and includes a few more details that the original didn't have, when as the Bulborb has minor adjustments like the eyes and back spots no longer being stitched on but instead what appears to be more felt - also there's now a little bit of red on its legs.
