Toy Ads That Time Forgot: CHIPs

by Paul

This old TV ad needs no introduction:

These CHIPs cops come from the highly popular (at the time) Mego series of figures that spawned figures coming from Planet of the Apes to tons of DC and Marvel superheroes. Mego is no longer with us, but the figures live on in old commercials like this one and within the pages of ToyFare’s Twisted ToyFare Theatre.

On another note, the voice behind this commercial is so baritone that it literally frightens me.
