Edit: I forgot to mention that both files in the download need to go in your Downloads folder in order for this to work.



Had a little trouble getting this one completed. Been looking for the tutorial by shaklin for ages; with no luck. Finally got tired of searching, and said 'WTF- maybe I can figure it out myself.' Had a working toy a bit later, but it would override the original in the catalog. Finally discovered a post from Echo that had a working link to the tute, and found out I needed to make a controller NPC to get it to work right. So now I'm able to share. Hope you get some giggles out of it.
Mother approved

Kids like it too

Pets, not so much

Known issues:
As noted above, I don't have a fully working basegame version yet.
It bugs me a bit that the toy really doesn't do much but zoom around. Once the BG problem is fixed, I'll work on getting some animation overlay so his fingers can wiggle while running.
Only one recolorable subset.
Attribution:
Texture is Eaxis statue texture, recolored in GIMP 2.8.2
Mesh by me, adapted from EAxis statue "What you lookin at", using Blender to articulate the fingers and slightly remap the UV
Technical Info:
Catalog location: Buy Mode>Electronics>Entertainment
In-game price: 151
Polygon Counts:
Toy: 140
Controller: N/A
Additional Credits:
Thanks to Tashiketh for this site and its great community
to Quaxi and his team for SimPE program
to Numenor and RGiles for the CEP that makes recolors possible
to jfade for the Compressorizer
Special thanks to shaklin and Echo, who so graciously shared their knowledge and hard work so others like me could learn to do this.
This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

About Me
I don't mind if you include any of these meshes with your lots**, as long as you provide a link to the original MTS page for the mesh. Posting my mesh on any site by itself, or claiming it as your own work, would be considered rude and a breach of my trust and love for you as a fellow simmer.
**Above policy does not apply to Remote Control Thing - it contains an NPC that could possibly corrupt a neighborhood when removed, and I doubt that downloaders would appreciate something like that hidden in a downloaded lot.
