    Hugo! I got hugo!

    After ten years or so of wanting him, I finally got one!

    I think I paid a bit more than he usually sells for, or maybe not. Let me know.

    He looked very clean with a decent amount of parts, so I grabbed him.

    Bid in a Proxibid online auction to acquire a Vintage Kenner HUGO Man of a Thousand Faces NEAR MINT IN BOX from Pop Culture Connection LLC.


    BTW: Has a MISB one ever come up for sale?

        When I was a kid my grandmother had one one the playroom for us kids, nobody really knew who Hugo was and we were all a little creeped out by him.

          I got one for X-mas. Loved it! Played with him for hours on end. If I remember correctly, the adhesive didn't work well for holding the piece on him or human skin.
          Don't recall him EVER creeping me out. With, or without pieces.
          I heard from older friends that there was a Charlie McCarthy puppet marketed for kids that creeped a lot of them out, when they were young.

            I have Hugo too, (got him from a member here). I didn't have him as a kid, but my cousins did. I'm missing some parts, but he's still lotsa fun to play with. He's made appearances in a couple of my videos w/ my dolls as a carnival fortune teller, and horror movie host "Dr. Shock".

                Oh man, that is a really nice quality Hugo, and with the box too!
                No, I don't think you overpaid, maybe underpaid for that quality. That's a really nice one.

                Man, I love Hugo. Someday... someday. Like you know, when I have money.

                      I still remember the smell of the glue that you used to attach the "disguises".
                      Fresh, not from concentrate.

                        Great score! He always reminded me of that evil midget (Dr. Loveless) off the Wild, Wild, West.

                          I got him today! He looks a bit better in the pictures. The shirt looks super clean in the pics, but has what I am assuming are stains from the glue. If I could get those out, he'd be pretty nice.

                          A lot of the hair parts have the glue on them too. Overall those he is not bad. Does anyone know of a picture online that shows a 100% complete Hugo?
