1979 Palitoy Commander Power Catalog (Super Joe)
In 1976, Hasbro Toys had abandoned the G.I. Joe action figure , the following year Joe returned 4 inches shorter and now in the future as “Super Joe” which lasted two brief years.

Le Dentiste
Found the French version of the Play-Doh Dr Drill N’ Fill (blandly named “Le Dentiste”) in a catalog and I’m still amazed this was a thing. How many kids didn’t just instantly get dark with this?
