Merchandise
There is also the inclusion of merchandising from two of their shows, Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa Puffy and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Puffy has released books about the show, and Hi Hi went further into kids' items including dolls, play sets, costumes and more, plus DVD releases (in both the U.S. during the time it aired, and in Japan, only earlier this year).

Puffy AmiYumi have released a number of different items years ago, including 'Rom! Puffy! Rom!' (a computer CD plus t-shirt sold in around 1997) and 'Do You Puffy?' (a box containing 8 of their singles released to date in 2000/2001). It is now thought that they are not sold anymore, however...

The airing of Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi was what introduced more of Puffy into the Western world (most particularly in the U.S.), including a parade of the characters at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2005.
