This page is part of the merge with Pikmin Wiki, and needs resolving. Please bear with us as we do so.

Before the import, this subject had a page both on Pikipedia and Pikmin Wiki. You are currently reading the Pikipedia version, and the Pikmin Wiki version can be found here. Both versions need to be manually merged together and placed on the current page.

A box of Pikmin figures.

This article concerns Pikmin products that are not video games or used with video games.

Agatsuma Pikmin figurines

Agatsuma has released three volumes of Pikmin toys to promote Pikmin 2. They were only released in Japan, and were produced in randomly arranged sets.

Volume One

The first of the three volumes. These contain three sets of three Pikmin (red, blue, or yellow) with Olimar, Louie, or The President included. There are three sets with red, white, and purple Pikmin in different stages. These include a Dwarf Red Bulborbs in each set. There are also three sets with five Pikmin each, in different stages. Oddly, there are nine red Pikmin, and six of every other type. The Hocotatians used in this volume are also used in volume three. The rare special figurine for this one is a Red Bulborb. The Pikmin in this volume are the same as the ones used in volume two. The figures are not made of the same material that is used in series 3.

Volume two

Volume two has six of each Pikmin (two leaf, two bud, two flower) a Wogpole and Yellow Wollywog. Another set has the Dwarf Orange Bulborb, Dwarf Red Bulborb, and Snow Bulborb. The set of three Purples comes with a Bulborb Larva. The set of three Whites come with a Breadbug. The Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin sets come with three different stages of Bulbmin. Two secret figures are the regular Ship and a golden Ship. The figurines are the same as in Volume one, except instead of three Dwarf Red Bulborbs, there are many different creatures. These figurines are of the same material as series 1.

Volume three

The three sets that contain three red, blue, or yellow Pikmin come with a Pellet Posy of the same color, instead of a Bulbmin as in volume two, or a Dwarf Red Bulborb as in volume one. As always, the set of five flower, bud, or leaf Pikmin don't come with anything. Purples and Whites come with Fiery Blowhog or Watery Blowhog. A set of Olimar, Louie, and President is also available, they are the same as the set from volume one and two. The three secret Items are the Onions. This volume looks much more organic than volumes 1 or 2.

Jakk's Pacific Pikmin figurines

Jakk's Pacific are releasing two new Pikmin figures as part of the 3rd "Legend of Zelda" series of World of Nintendo Mini Figures in April 6th 2015. The figures consist of Olimar and a red Pikmin. Both figures are 2.5 inches tall. Text is written on the back of each box describing each character respectively. Each box also shows all of the characters in the series, the others being Mario, Luigi, Link, Ganondorf, Tetra, and Cranky Kong. These figures are not based off of Pikmin 3, but instead the Pikmin series. The image on the back of the red Pikmin box shows a red Pikmin with a bud as it would be in pikmin 3, however the image of Olimar shows him as he would look in Pikmin 1 and 2. This is odd becuase the figure itself has Olimar's whistle and the extra suit buttons which he did not obtain until the third game.

Box Text

Olimar: "The main character of the game Pikmin. Captian Olimar crash lands on a mysterious planet, he must gather the pieces of his broken ship but the atmosphere o fthe planet is poisonous to Olimar. As a result, he has to enlist the help of the native Pikmin.

Red Pikmin: "A type of Pikmin-which are odd beings who grow like plants yet are as mobile as animals. Red ones are heat and fire resistant and are strong attackers, which makes them valuable when facing dangerous does. Purple Pikmin are also tough fighters, but since it's difficult to increase their numbers, red Pikmin are easier to manage. Red Pikmin have distinct pointed noses.

There are 6 types of Pikmin e-cards, which are the original Pikmin colors and their onions. The three color groups (red, yellow, and blue) unlock puzzle games buried deep in the recesses of Pikmin 2, by using Nintendo's Pikmin 2 Puzzle e-cards (which require the use of an e-Reader).

The three games are as follows:

  • Pikmin Plucking: The player must pluck every Pikmin from the ground.
  • Pikmin Parts: The player controls the Pikmin by moving them in the same direction, and must try to get them into the goal.
  • Pikmin Path: The player moves panels around to create a path for the Pikmin so that they can reach a goal.
