A hat called "red Pikmin" was released today. The item code is $AEB0, and shows up as Unknown in ACToolkit. It's probably a safe bet that the item data (model, etc.) is stored in the save, and could be hacked just like the villager textures.
First official Animal Crossing DLC

If I find time to plug in my Wii I will try putting it through TTI. Someone might dump it soon though haha.
For all the Noobs out there http://tinyurl.com/683wwm please learn something today.
Data for the red Pikmin starts at 0x26F324 in RVFOREST.DAT (or at least in my RVFOREST.DAT). Names start at 0x26F358, with different languages for each region. There's also an ASH0 archive in there, and that's about as far as I can get since I don't have a tool to decompress those... I suppose I could change the item name for kicks though.

Yes, the item name can be changed. DsPet sent me some info on the DLC item a little while ago. I successfully "injected" the DLC content into my save file without having prior seen the item. This means I can probably make an install tool for those who do not have the ability to get this item.
> I don't have a tool to decompress those...
Can you say "DLC_Tool" ???
Work in progress. The "ASH0" recompression may take a little more time. Hopefully coming soon.
Here's the output: http://aibohack.com/wii/dlc_1.zip
Contains textures and palettes in BMP format ready for editing similar to NPC_Tool
Also the 3d model (a "MDL0" file saved without header). Eventually someone will need to write a simple 3D tool. In the mean time hopefully people will be happy with different color pikmin hats and funny shaped leaves...
how do you get the DLC?
So Uh this item isnt already in the game for all of us? how do i get it now?
Get it from someone else? lol :P

In AC:CF you can download new content (AKA "DLC"). You need to download the new content from another player. It can be hacked, but for now (IMHO) it isn't worth the hassle.
For trading of rare items I recommend the regular (non-hacking) BBSs:

(even those folks got quickly bored with it ;-)

IMHO the new 'red Pikmin' hat is boring. It is only yet another new hat. Not worth the hassle of hacking it alone. The name isn't properly capitalized.
The cool part is it opens the door for 'hacked' DLC items. A green or purple or plaid pikmin hat would be something to brag about...
Yea i was hoping to do something like that haha >.> I have a question though, how do you decide what hex value it becomes? and what happens if one person has one thing as a hex value and someone else has another? o.o
