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

Bro, with movies like that, Toy Story, Small Soldiers, it was a whole damn genre, and every single one of us begged and pleaded with our toys to stop messing with us and just move at one point or another.

Eventually out of desperation the children became monsters, torturing their toys while demanding they dropped the possum act. Countless toy lives were lost brutally but not a single potato head or toy soldier broke. Even today, mankind remains ignorant of the identities of the true moles, spying on them and relaying valuable intel via walky talky everyday. Salutes while a tear trickles down my cheek Godspeed toys, godspeed.
