;Notes:
*The Winged Pikmin plush is called "Pink" Pikmin; this is believed to be an error.
*A Purple Pikmin plush was "leaked" by Amazon in November of 2016{{cite web|https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfNintendo/comments/5caa43/amazon_listed_a_bunch_of_unannounced_plushes_wave/|Amazon listed a bunch of unannounced plushes (Wave 2-4, 2-5, etc.)|reddit|published={{date|10|November|2016}}|retrieved={{date|10|November|2019}}}}; however, it's not guaranteed to ever be released.

===''Pikmin 2'' plushes===
On {{date|29|April|2004}}, Sanei re-released and re-tagged the first set of plushes to focus on ''Pikmin 2'', as well as releasing nine more plushes. These new plushes consisted of Purple Pikmin and White Pikmin, each with either a leaf, bud, or flower variant, as well as a plush for Olimar, Louie, and a Red Bulborb. The Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Blue Pikmin, Olimar, and Louie plushes are all approximately {{tt|17.8 cm|7 inches}} long, while the Purple Pikmin is around {{tt|22.9 cm|9 inches}}, the White Pikmin is about {{tt|15.2 cm|6 inches}}, and the Red Bulborb stands at roughly {{tt|25.4 cm|10 inches}}.

===''Pikmin'' 2013 plushes===
In 2013, Sanei re-released the plushes from the ''Pikmin 2'' set, except for Oilmar and Louie. The only notable distinguishing features between the 2013 set and the plushes from 2004 are the tags sewn onto the 2013 plushes, which were changed, and the rebranded square paper tag on the plushes. This re-release had multiple variations for the tags that were seen sewn onto the plushes, with a large rectangular tag and a taller but less broad square tag being known to exist for plushes from this re-release. Both tags feature a ''Pikmin'' logo made from leaves.

===All Star Collection===
On {{date|10|April|2018}}, Sanei released a brand new set of Pikmin plushes. The "All Star Collection" contains re-designed versions of the three primary types of Pikmin. Excluding the Purple Pikmin and White Pikmin, the set now consists of a Rock Pikmin and Winged Pikmin instead. The Red Pikmin has a leaf, with the Yellow Pikmin having a bud, while the Blue Pikmin, Rock Pikmin, and Winged Pikmin all have a flower, matching the colors of how said flowers appear in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Hey! Pikmin''. These five Pikmin are also accompanied by updated designs of the Olimar and Red Bulborb plushes from the second release. Olimar's suit, rather than being covered in vinyl, is now a softer, felt-like material and includes a few more details that the original didn't have, whereas the Bulborb only received minor adjustments, like the eyes and white spots on the back no longer being stitched on but instead what appears to be more felt. The Bulborb's legs are now also partially covered in red, similar to how it's seen in-game. 

On {{date|11|August|2021}}, wave 2 of the "All Star Collection" was released. This wave included plushes of Louie, a Purple Pikmin with a bud, and a White Pikmin with a flower. The Purple Pikmin and White Pikmin are nearly identical to their ''Pikmin 2'' counterparts. Louie's suit has been changed similarly to how Olimar's suit was changed, and his backpack is now a life-support system. 

On {{date|16|September|2023}} two new plushes were added to the "All Star Collection", those being Oatchi and an Ice Pikmin with a flower. Followed later in February 2024, by a new plush made out of glow-in-the-dark fabric, this being a plush of the Glow Pikmin from ''Pikmin 4''. Sanei announced that in June 2024, a plush of Moss will come to the "All Star Collection".

===Keyring plushes and plush containers===
In 2013, Sanei released a similar lineup of smaller {{tt|12.7 cm|5 inches}} plushes that also function as a keychain. The set contains a leaf Red Pikmin, a bud Yellow Pikmin, a flower Blue Pikmin, a bud Purple Pikmin, and a flower White Pikmin. Alongside these keyring plushes, they also released three Pikmin plushes which also acted as containers. These include a flower Red Pikmin attached to a grassy box, a bud Yellow Pikmin clinging onto a cup designed to look like a log, and a leaf Blue Pikmin holding a mug, with the word "''Pikmin''" written on the side.

==Taito ''Pikmin'' withdrawal plush mascots==
These Pikmin plushes, made by [[Merchandise/List of companies#Taito|Taito]], were only released in Japan. The set consists of a flower Red Pikmin, a leaf Yellow Pikmin, and a bud Blue Pikmin. The plushes, when placed into the dirt blocks, stand {{tt|12.7 cm|5 inches}} tall and come with a metallic loop, allowing them to be hung up. They can be pushed into and partially pulled out of their dirt blocks, allowing them to be "plucked from the ground".

;Note:
* Though the Pikmin can be pulled out of their dirt blocks, they're still attached with a string, meaning this gimmick only functions in a limited range of motion.

==Nihon Auto Toy ''Pikmin'' plushes==
Released on {{date|27|May|2002}}, by the Nihon Auto Toy Company, this set consists of a Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin plush, standing approximately {{tt|13 cm|5.1 inches}} tall, with all three being available in every stage of maturity (leaf, bud, flower). There is also a Bulborb plush, which is around {{tt|23 cm|9.1 inches}} tall. The Bulborb's mouth acts as a sort of small pouch, allowing Pikmin to be put inside, among other things. The Pikmin plushes are made of a silky fabric, while the Bulborb is more felt-like, with actual hard buttons for the white spots on a Bulborb's back. These plushes were never made commercially available, but were rather given out as free gifts, presumably as prizes at Japanese amusement parks.
