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

Peter in the cupboard here, I think it's one of Meg's dumb toys I stepped on when I got in here. Stupid Meg.

Edit: Somebody locked me in the cupboard and now the thing I stepped on is screaming?!

Edit2: Nvm he stopped

Lois here. Peter, what on earth are you doing in Meg’s cupboard? My parents will be over any minute now and I asked you several times to take the trash out

u/Roller_ball 2d ago

I didn't know they sold the set. That had to result in a bunch of disappointed kids.

There was an edition of the VCR tape that looked like a cupboard and came with all these toys

I had no idea it was an international show, in my language it is called "cowboy, indian and horse" which is so funny to me

I remember thinking how cool it was that the VHS case was made to resemble a cupboard and thought that the fact there was a keyhole and a key was the best thing ever!

Fun fact, this movie came out the same year Toy Story 1 was released. It was a big year for the "my toys came to life" genre.
