A real Bandai novelty, not a toy knockoff
Salaryman Unko is part of Bandai's official Unko Suru Days Clay Model Kit line, a genuine Japanese novelty craft series, not a plastic model kit. The character is a poop character dressed as an office worker. It's a light, honest gag item, and it's licensed Bandai, not a copy.
This one's for anyone who wants a five-minute creative break at their desk, a gift for someone who'll actually laugh when they open it, or a low-pressure first sculpting project for a curious kid (with an adult keeping an eye on the small parts).
How this kit actually works
This is a hand-sculpting kit, not an assembly kit. There's nothing to snap together, no runners to cut, and no cement. You shape the included paper clay by hand over the plastic mould piece, following the shape and dress-up detailing Bandai has already moulded in. There's no wrong way to do it and no build skill required.
What the materials actually are
The clay in this kit is paper clay, not resin, not polymer clay, and not standard air-dry sculpting clay. It air-dries at room temperature. No oven, no kiln, no heat gun. The plastic mould piece gives you the poop-character base shape and the salaryman dress-up detailing to build on, so you're sculpting a character, not starting from a blank lump.
What makes this kit different
-
Paper clay, not a plastic build: no runners, no cement, no paint. Everything is shaped by hand.
-
Genuine Bandai Unko Suru Days line: officially licensed, not a generic novelty import.
-
No baking required: the paper clay firms up at room temperature.
-
A head start, not a blank slate: the plastic mould piece gives you the base shape and dress-up detail to sculpt onto.
-
Zero setup: no tools, glue, or paint to buy before you start.
-
Genuinely different from a Gunpla build: a short, low-pressure creative session rather than a multi-hour build.
What's in the box
- One plastic poop-shaped mould/base piece with moulded salaryman dress-up detailing
- One 30g block of blue paper clay
- One sticker sheet
Compatible accessories
Not applicable to this kit. Salaryman Unko is a standalone paper clay craft item, not a mobile suit kit, so there's no compatible weapon, accessory, or action base to pair it with.

Fast Australian shipping

What to watch for
Paper clay dries out if it's left uncovered, so keep it wrapped between sculpting sessions if you're not finishing in one go. Sculpt in thinner layers where you can, thick lumps take longer to firm up and are more likely to crack as they dry. The sticker sheet is a single-use application, so plan its placement before you press it down.
Builder tips: work on a flat, protected surface, paper clay can mark timber or fabric while it's still wet. Let the finished piece firm up fully before handling it for photos or display. Once it's completely dry, standard acrylic craft paint can be added if you want colour, though this isn't included and isn't required to finish the piece.
Build notes
No glue and no paint are required to complete this kit. Bandai's packaging lists it for ages 6 and up in Japan; given the small clay and plastic parts, adult supervision is recommended for younger children. There's no fixed build time, since it's freeform sculpting rather than a timed assembly.
