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

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.
