As a small boy, one birthday I received one of my most precious childhood toys, HUGO - The Man Of A Thousand Faces. A creepy little bald puppet (think Vern Troyer - Mini-Me) with an amazing assortment of fake beards, noses, scars, and hair pieces. With a little dab of the supplied (stinky) glue, you could change Hugo's appearance instantly. The best part was Hugo's disguises fit on small kids faces to! I loved walking around as the 7 year old with a goatee and fake nose.
The strange little toy seems to have a real cult following on the web. Thank god I'm not the only nerd with a penchant for smelly makeup glue, and fake sideburns!
