clay character

Hey there, I was just wondering if anyone could help me out finding the best types of clay or other medium to make stop motion figurines. Thinking of working on a stop motion piece in the further. Thanks in advance! :)

My clay animated version of the bible story in which Jesus kicks the bankers/merchants out of the church. We gave it a more modern setting and made a clay figure of a banker from a well known board game. Can you guess which one? This version is meant to be a little funny and cartoony so don't...
