Hugo (Kenner)



Hugo (AKA Presenting Hugo Man Of A Thousand Faces)
Kenner
1975

What a horrific puppet, in a Dr. Evil sort of way. I can't believe children of the 70's actually wanted a Hugo puppet.

Hugo's claim to fame was that he was a "Man of a thousand faces." However, unlike toys such as, Mr. Potato Head, Hugo didn't sport peg holes to accommodate his many facets of head and facial hair, noses, glasses, moles, etc. Instead, children of the era would need to utilize stick glue, or some other form of adhesive, to add the pieces to his face. "Hugo can be anything...make him into villains, heroes, comics and spies."

Look, call him what you will, I think Hugo is terrifying...and somewhat racist with his Asian looking disguise. Hugo is a man of many faces. In particular, the number of printed Benjamin's faces it will cost you to procure one. Mint in the box ones have sold for as much as five hundred fifty dollars. Personally, I won't be adding one of these freaky things to my collection - Regardless of how much it costs.
