Pikmin 3 keyrings
Nintendo released a set of 5 Pikmin keyrings exclusively to Europe. These keyrings included a Red Pikmin on an orange, a Yellow Pikmin on a strawberry, a Blue Pikmin carrying a raspberry, a Winged Pikmin carrying a grape, and a Rock Pikmin on a plum. These were released via two methods. The Red and Yellow Pikmin were rewards on the European Club Nintendo, while the others were pre-order bonuses from a European store called GAME.

Pikmin 3 character collection
Takara Tomy Arts released a collection of keyrings in February 2014 based on Pikmin 3. The keychains are comprised of Red, Yellow, Blue, Winged, and Rock Pikmin types, each with either a lead, bud, or flower, bringing the total number of keychains in this series to 15. 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.

Pikmin keychain collections
In March 2002 Takara Tomy Arts released a set of keychains which contained a few Pikmin figures and a clip. The figures consisted of Red, Blue, and Yellow Pikmin, each with either a leaf, bud, or flower, as well as red, blue, and yellow pellets, and a Captain Olimar figure. The keychain clip would come with either 2 or 3 figures as well as a tag with the Japanese Pikmin logo. Keychain clips that contained Olimar would have Olimar and one other figure, while keychain clips that did not would have 3 other various figures.
In July of 2004, these figures were re-released for Pikmin 2, which they then added on to the number of figures. Purple Pikmin and White Pikmin and Bulbmin, with leaf, bud, and flower variants were added, as well as a figure for Louie, and the President. The clip was replaced with a strap, and the logo on the tag was replaced with the Japanese Pikmin 2 logo.
Due to popularity in the first set of keychains, 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. This time the figures featured straps again, with Olimar attached to the strap, with a Pikmin attached to a new ring on the bottom of Olimar's feet. The series contained 9 different keychains which featured Olimar and one Pikmin. The Pikmin with Olimar varies between Red, Yellow, or Blue and has either a leaf, bud, or flower.

There were 6 different types of keychains, which consisted of a Red Pikmin, a Blue Pikmin, a Yellow Pikmin, a Purple and White Pikmin, and a Flying and Rock Pikmin, as well as a "secret" variant which was actually a Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin together.
