r/whatisthisthing - I found this little guy, about six-inches tall, in a charity shop in the UK. Anyone got a clue as to who he is or what he represents? There was a faded, unreadable sticker on the front, but now the only clue is the ā€œJoin Nowā€ wording on the base.

This may be the image of satan?

I saved the image as ā€œfrazā€.
Maybe thatā€™s code for something unspeakable.
I donā€™t have the software necessary for image manipulation anymore, nor the room for it, unfortunately.

So, according to one of the reddit mods, they kept bouncing the image because it wasnā€™t in the right topic.
They gave me a list of more suitable places to post so Mr. Mystery is now posted in r/CulturalAnthro.

ETA: Thanks for the cleanup, this is the image I have reposted.
