I had a Dutch G.I.Joe Toy Catalog booklet in the A5 format from 1988 which had cool dio pictures with armies of Hydro-Vipers, Astro-Vipers, Iron Grenadiers & Toxo-Vipers.
I was amazed by those catalog pictures as a kid. So many of the same figure, it looked really awesome. I always thought only the toy company could have something like this for their dio's as the figures were a rare find in the toystores. The Joe display in toystores in the Netherlands only had like 20 figures at a time and there were barely any extra armybuilders for sale from what I remember.
If there were more armybuilders for sale in the stores I visited back then, it would have changed my view about collecting armybuilders early on, but I wouldn't have had the funds for it anyway. lol
I wonder if the same catalog was released in the US. I hope I'll find the old dutch catalog back that I once had.
