What existing characters already look like Billy and Mentor from Filmation Shazam?

After the holidays I will have some time to work on this idea. I want to make or purchase clothing to dress up two figures for my son to play with. Since he will actually play with them I plan on using real Mego or repro heads. I was thinking Grandpa Walton for Les Tremayne and Cochese for Michael Gray. What do you all think?

I think Grandpa Walton is good for Mentor--You could get a resin copy & sand down the jowls a bit. You could use an AJ safari shirt & belt, and dye pants brown or use Sitting Bull's.

I would use a Bo Duke head with repainted black hair for Billy--not perfect, but better IMO than Cochise. Add a red Dm sweater with new yellow trim & CTVT jeans.

Or maybe Greg Brady for Billy.

Thanks. Those are all good suggestions.

^I'm not too familiar with the Greg Brady head, but it might work really well--younger-looking, & you wouldn't need to retouch the hair.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I was thinking Peter Brady. Oddly enough, the grown-up Christopher Knight would have made a decent Captain Marvel, at least facially.
