The first toy that springs to mind is the Evel Knevel stunt bike. This was, for a short period in my life, the absolute number 1 I Must Have It I Simply Must Item. It was advertised on the telly in a way that made it appear that the toy was actually capable of clearing several real live double decker buses.
The reality of course was much more prosaic: you cranked it up, pressed the switch and then the bike scuttled along the ground for about 18 inches before topping over and then spinning helplessly in ever slower and sadder circles.
