We've seen plenty of fantastic Animal Crossing: New Horizons creations from fans and players around the world - like a full recreation of Zelda's Hyrule and the most delicious-looking Tom Nook cake we've ever seen - but we didn't expect to come across something quite like this.
Popular YouTube user ClayClaim has gone ahead and recreated his entire in-game island on a revolving empty toilet roll - you just don't expect to be writing sentences like these when you go for the job interview, you know?
It's a seriously impressive effort, with buildings, trees, the Dodo Airlines plane and more all represented. Each little part is painstakingly made out of polymer clay and stuck on to the toilet roll, allowing the island to roll around like it does in the actual game. You can see it being made in the video above - just look at how amazing it all is.
We're pretty nifty at building things out of clay in the game itself, but we doubt we'd manage anything quite like this in real life. Great job, ClayClaim!

hly sh*t... - "Hmm, is that it? Can you think of someting more to say?"
sry that's all I could think of...
That’s why the Gamecube one was the only one I’ve played, I hate the scrolling tube graphics
@stevep Same here. That's why I can't play other Animal Crossing games after Gamecube. I prefer square ground and making the world turn by each step it's annoying to me. I'm sticking to my grand Gamecube Animal version. Best of the best IMO
Guess the lockdown brings out the unbridled creativity in some people.
That's amazing
contrary to what some people above in the comments are saying I find that the cylinder provides animal crossing with an unique charm. Lovely work as well. Looks really nice
@stevep I couldn't get in to the Gamecube version because of the 'grid'. It made me confused and I was constantly lost. Same for games like LTTP. I final the scrolling much easier to understand.
@stevep @Alucard83 If you flick down on the right control stick in this one, you get a higher camera angle that's basically what you're talking about ...
So incredible.
What amazing talent.
I don’t know how much you can make on this, but some people are just incredibly talented.
@TimboSlice
Have a look at this channel

He builds kits but makes it look so easy and effortless, and the paint applications and end results are always amazing.
@KitsuneNight I have one of those kits from my trip to Japan 5 years ago, I'm too scared to attempt it!
@Grandiajet New Horizons is still on the grid. Take a look at the map. It's divided into acres, and this has not changed since the beginning.
That being said I do enjoy the "globe" look but felt like it made more sense in larger places like Wild World and City Folk towns. With the island in New Horizons being so small, it's almost unnecessary, save for consistency with previous entries not including the GameCube version
@nmanifold
Now is the time to tackle it !
@nintendork64 It is on a grid, but you 'scroll' for movement. For some reason that means I can understand my location better than before. The screen movement before felt disjointed and disorientating to me.
Pretty sweet if you ask me. Good creativity put to good use!
The main thing that surprises me is this guy at one point found a toilet roll, joking apart, awesome job.
I'm glad that he didn't go for a different kind of log for this.
Somebody ripped this article straight from the website and claimed it as their own:
https://gamingideology.com/2020/04/18/random-animal-crossing-new-horizons-even-looks-amazing-on-a-toilet-roll/
finally a talented person on youtube. Id pay 300e for this.
I still have yet to play a single animal crossing game. I was thinking about starting with the original and see if i like it. Would that be the best place to start?
@stevep @Alucard83 I felt the same before playing New Horizons, having only played the GameCube episode before but it didn't bother me. You can tilt the camera angle overhead and get the same view as you did on the GC version. But as it turned out I barely use it anymore and stick to the "cylinder" view. I guess it's part of the AC charm now.
The TP version looks cute.
That is seriously impressive work and surprisingly satisfying to watch! How he gets details on things as small as the fence is crazy!
Incredible! As a fan of all things teeny, that's incredible.
@Alucard83 Plus it has a ton of NES games in it.
