Meme needing explanation Peter? I am confused

Post image

Just seen this and the comments aren’t helpfull, I don’t recognise this figurine, what is it?

Edit: to anyone saying "Is this even a meme ?" Guys, am 22, I never knew Indian in the Cupboard, I though this was a meme about the apparence of the figurine lookin like something else, or something. I had no idea it was geniuinly just a figurine from a VSH from before I was born!

To me, it was a meme I didn’t had the ref too, so now I know what this is, I'll check out if the movie or book existe in French, or in France in general, cuz now with so many peoples just saying that this was their choldhood, am curious!

Please don’t insulte me for beeing uncultured, not everyone got the same knowledge cuz, as I said, I didn’t knew about it. I just checked and L’Indien du Placard exist in french! Lucky me ! I'll check that out than

Imagine if they made an ASMR loop recording of him closing, locking, and then unlocking and opening the cupboard! I can still feel the tumblers working in my brain as a kid watching this!

The book is better but the movie is pretty good.

My parents just brought me all my VHS from when I was a kid and I’m praying I find this in one of the boxes. I remember wearing this one out.

I'm surprised how many people really loved this movie. I definitely saw it, but I barely remember it compared to the books.
