I had this Hugo toy and loved it, but I think the reason it wasn’t more successful was because they made it so tedious. You were supposed to put the pieces on with glue stick and then wash them off! What kid (or parent) wants to keep doing that? Still, Hugo is and always will be a classic!

I had a Hugo and LOVED IT! You could stick the disguise stuff on your own face, too! I need to se if it’s still buried somewhere at my parents’ house…

Hugo is profoundly disturbing.

If I had a kid, and he wanted this toy, I would've forced a Catcher's Mitt in his hand and told him to go outside.

That would have so creeped me out if I had one. Glad my parents never got me one though. Yikes.

Yeah, the Hulk pilot.

I watched it a while ago, and, yeah, it still holds up.

However, would a scientist really wear a sheer shirt that should show off her nipples (except for the pockets on the shirt)?

:D

2XL was awesome. His signiture “Hmm-hmm-hmm, whistle-whistle-whistle” sound is tattooed into my memory banks. When I got older, I played my sister’s old 8-tracks on them. It was odd, hearing Jethro Tull blaring from his little circuits . . .

2-XL!!! Vlad’s love for his 8-track playing robot knows no bounds! (I still remember residents of Vlad’s castle being none too happy when Vlad played 2-XL VERY VERY LOUDLY early that Christmas morning long ago.) 2-XL shall help lead Vlad’s Hugo Army to victory!

I can’t get enough Hugo! Mine lives next to 2-XL on my shelf. They are married, but the state does not yet officially acknowledge their union. But one day their love will be understood!

After oceans of time had passed and long after the comic book ads of Hugo, Man of a Thousand Faces had been burned into Vlad’s brain, I finally came to possess Hugo. In fact, I am modeling my midget monster army on Hugo. The dead eyes! The face, a canvas for many a disguise! Hugo shall be legion!!!
