    HUGO!!!! Man of 1000 Faces!!!

    So who else had one?? I remember scaring other cars with it on the way to Florida for vacation every summer. My mom still has the little creep at her house, but the glue stuff is shot, any replacement for it?

    I had one for years --- 10th birthday present from my aunt... I remember wearing the sideburns and goat around the house and it drove my dad nuts...

    I'm surprised no one has tried to revive the concept, what an icon of the 70's this guy was. I never had one but I knew kids who did and the puppet alone is worth it just for the creep factor.

    I keep meaning to grab one...several have passed me by at a very cheap price. Toys...$15 total for your wrestling case, and also, hats off on the Dolls reference...VERY underrated Brit film with an EXCELLENT 'moral'.

    Anyone seeing Dr. Evil from Austin Powers?

    One of the few non-Mego toys I HAD to buy on eBay. I still have it hidden ina box somewhere waiting for the right time to spring it on my wife.

    I am sure I told the story in greater detail back on the old forum (remember the old forum?), but essentially Hugo met his demise acting as a lampshade. I left him on a lamp with a bare bulb one evening. I got called down to dinner, which was rudely interupted by the smell of hideously burning plastic flesh. Needless to say, it was not a toy replaced by my parents, and I had plenty of time to enjoy the long lingering smell during an extended grounding. I don't think I slept well for a week.
