Eaton's Canada Christmas Catalogue 1970

Eaton's Canada Christmas Catalogue 1970 - Cover

At Eaton's Christmas is for people, so the cover of the Eaton's Canada Christmas Catalog for 1970 shows. I had thought that the only Eaton's catalogue with MMM was the 1968 (I had verified that 1967 and 1969 are strangely absent of Major Matt Mason items) but then stumbled on this from the 1970 catalogue:

Eaton's Canada Christmas Catalogue 1970 - Page 46

1 Major Matt Mason-now with exclusive voice command flight pack. Says five phrases while flying on space cord. Removable pack may also be used with other Mattel astronaut figures.
27-R 3080 - Includes decals and instructions...5.77

2 Matt Mason star seeker. Glides forward on path predicted by the 11 control pegs on the revolving memory guidance system. Simply fit each peg into one of three positions-right, left or straight.. there's endless combinations. Star seeker completes your mission and turns off automatically. Upper control deck is protected by movable tinted shield. Fits all Mattel astronauts. 11" high.
27-R 3076 - Uses two "D" batteries-not included...11.99

7 Matt Mason XRG-1 re-entry glider. Launch it and watch it come back into the atmosphere. Well balanced for high flying and soft landing. Comes complete with Matt Mason outer space friend Calisto- the alien with the bellows action space sensor.
27-R 3078 - 18" long, 16" wide...3.49

John's Notes:

Nice that we get Zeroids on the same page. Interesting that the XRG-1 comes with a Callisto figure (probably on a separate card).
