Well, John and Ponch are trivia questions and making Eminem cameos now, but they were immortalized in Mego plastic and fabric. Forever young, yet their heads often suffer from fading and bleaching out. Eric Estrada isn't dead yet, but his corpselike face can often be found in discount bins at toy shows...

The popularity of the show sold quite a few of these things for Mego between 1978-82. (Remember trying to ride your bicycles in formation?)

You get a lot of cool stuff with your Mego CHIPS figure. Gun belt, sunglasses, insignia stickers, watch, gun, helmet, cop-boots, and baton.

Tom provides us with shots of the CHiPs motorcycle, no Mego CHiPs figure should be without their mad wheel. Those smiling faces would sure get alot of bugs in their teeth...

Mego Ponch and Jon MOC, Mego actually had sculpted a Bruce Jenner head to replace Ponch when Eric Estrada walked off the show(Photos courtesy of Tom) There were no villians in the 8: line although Mego had proposed adding Chopper from the Starsky and Hutch line, buyers balked.

Sarge was a later edition to the line which initially just featured the principles.Carded CHiPs figures are still easily had, finding minty examples is another story (Sarge courtesy of Micheal Farence)

Original Mego CHiPs line artwork for the 3" line.

Carded 3" Mego Chips Jon, note that the back also promoted other lines such as Mego Pocket Heroes, Buck Rogers and Black Hole. In the late 70's Mego was trying to cross promote their 3" lines much of this was the appeal to the 8" line.
