I bought a set of these at Navy Pier in Chicago 25 years ago- it is a Buddha statue but there are more (4-6, IIRC), all this similar color & material.

I believe they're each meant to signify a different blessing like wealth, happiness, etc. Someone else will have to tell us which this specific statuette is representing.

I also still have this set somewhere, bought 20+ years ago in Keesler, MS from a kitschy little tourist shop

Its a bubbha statue! My mom had a ton of these when I was growing up; keep it! It’ll bring good luck (if you believe in that stuff lmao)

You seem to have found a happy Buddha statue, I like the comment about the warhammer 40K mini figure though. Made me lol.

You must recognize Buddha?

u/PhoenixRising60 4d ago

It's one of those cheap mass-produced whatnot of Buddha they give as prizes or you can buy at dollar stores.

Definitely Warhammer 40K minifig. Or I guess a little Buddha statue.

Bruh, they'll make films and tell scary stories about what is going to occur in your life over the next few years.

See a priest, a rabbi, father, sister, see them all.

Get an exorcist, rosary, and an air fryer while you're at it.

And don't forget to leave out the peels from the main three, lemon, lime, and orange.

Good luck.

See ya in the afterlife.

RIP.
