Bandai Clay Model Kit Animal Unchi Set 1 Cat & Bear

Two very silly characters from Bandai's Unko Suru Days line

Bandai's Unko Suru Days is a real Japanese novelty toy line built around cartoon poop characters living out ordinary lives, and this set is the cat and bear entry: Animal Unchi Set 1.

This isn't a plastic model kit dressed up as a joke, it's a genuine sculpting set. You shape real paper clay by hand, press it into the included mould, and finish it off with the supplied sticker sheet. It suits anyone after a five-minute, low-mess craft session with a punchline built in, from a Gunpla builder wanting something different on a slow night to someone after a proper novelty gift.

Build difficulty

This is a craft kit, not an assembly kit, so the usual nippers-and-runners skill scale doesn't really apply. There's nothing to clip, glue, or paint. You press the included paper clay into the mould by hand, shape the character, add the sticker details, then leave it to air-dry at room temperature. Bandai lists a recommended age of 6 and up, and the hands-on part takes well under half an hour. This mould is sized down from Bandai's mainline Unko Suru Days figures, so treat it as a desk ornament rather than a display centrepiece.

Technical highlights

The set includes two 15g blocks of paper clay, one white and one brown, which air-dry naturally without an oven, kiln, or heat gun. Paper clay holds fine detail well and shrinks very little as it dries. There's no paint in the box: colour comes from the two clay tones themselves, which can be blended by hand for shading, plus the sticker sheet for the cat and bear's facial details.

What makes this kit special

  • Genuine Bandai Spirits novelty line: Unko Suru Days is an officially licensed Bandai Spirits product, not a generic craft toy.
  • Two-tone paper clay: 15g white and 15g brown, enough to mix your own shading rather than following one fixed colour.
  • No glue, no paint, no baking: everything needed to finish the piece is in the box.
  • Compact, pocket-sized mould: sized down from Bandai's mainline Unko Suru Days figures, built for a quick sculpt.
  • Sticker sheet included: gives the cat and bear their finishing facial details without needing any painting skill.
  • A genuinely different gift: lands somewhere between a craft kit and a gag gift.

What's in the box

  • Poop-shaped mould, used to shape the cat or bear character
  • White paper clay, 15g
  • Brown paper clay, 15g
  • Sticker sheet, for the cat and bear's facial and character details

No paint, tools, glue, or cement are included, and none are needed.

Compatible accessories

This is a standalone novelty craft kit, not a mobile suit or a part built to attach to one, so the usual Compatible Accessories section doesn't apply here.

What to watch for

Paper clay is forgiving but it isn't magic. Press it too thick in the mould and it can crack slightly as it dries, so aim for an even layer. Overmix the white and brown clay and you'll get a flat grey-brown rather than a shaded look, so blend gradually. Bandai doesn't publish an exact cure time, so treat "dry to the touch" as the starting point and leave the piece flat and undisturbed for at least a day before handling it much. And because the mould is on the small side, this one's a desk ornament, not a shelf centrepiece.

Builder tip: keep a small bowl of water nearby to smooth the clay's surface as you shape it, and work on a flat, non-stick surface so the piece doesn't warp while it dries.

Build notes

No glue, cement, batteries, or paint are needed for this kit. Recommended age is 6 and up; younger builders should have an adult on hand, as with any small-parts craft kit. Hands-on time is short, well under half an hour, but budget at least a day for the clay to firm up before it's moved around much.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level.1. Most adults & children can assemble Skill Level 1 kits with little to no difficulty. Very basic hobby tools are recommended including a pair of nippers, a hobby knife, but are not essential. No Glue is needed for these kits. Kits are all snap together and most parts can be removed by twisting and pushing without the need to snip with nippers.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are a snap together assembly and do not need plastic cement to complete. We always recommend having some plastic cement handy as a part of your modeler's tool kit. If you prefer to fix your model in a particular pose then plastic cement will work. Plastic cement is also perfect to use if a joint is loose. Apply plastic cement in a single thin layer and allow it to dry completely before test fitting. Re-apply more cement if necessary.

Gunpla (plastic model kits) are designed to be built and displayed without the need for painting. Kits are molded in different colours replicating the colours of the actual mecha from the Mecha series. A technique called colour separation, where multiple parts of the model are molded in different colours on the same sprue is also used. Mecha kits often include stickers or water-slide decals that can be applied to the model to enhance its appearance. Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.

Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail. Painting allows for more creativity and personalization, enabling modelers to achieve unique effects, weathering, and colour schemes that may not be available out of the box. However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit need to be baked or fired in an oven?

No. The two included paper clay colours (white and brown, 15g each) air-dry naturally at room temperature. No oven, kiln, or heat gun is needed.

Is paint included, and do I need to paint the finished piece?

No paint is included and none is needed. The finished character gets its colour from the two clay tones, which can be blended by hand for shading, plus the included sticker sheet for facial and character details.

What's actually included in the box?

One compact poop-shaped mould, 15g of white paper clay, 15g of brown paper clay, and one sticker sheet. No tools, glue, or paint are included or required.

Is this suitable for kids?

Bandai's release lists a recommended age of 6 and up. As with any small-parts craft kit, adult supervision is a good idea for younger builders.

Can I use the mould to make other Unko Suru Days characters?

No, the mould and sticker sheet in this set are specific to the cat and bear designs. Other characters in the range, like Salaryman Unko, come as their own separate kit with their own mould and parts.
