    Some helpful advice needed for custom project.

    I wanted to put together a custom set of the characters from the tv show The Mod Squad,
    something outside of Trek and WGSH for a change.

    My only question is whom to use for heads? I was going to go with trek Scotty for the captain
    LJN Rookies Terry with a flock for the Lync character, for the girl, played by Peggy Lipton, I was checking
    some of the FTC female heads and there may be one that might work, finally for the Pete character
    I'm stumped on this one, only POTA Burke comes to mind.

    So if anyone is familiar with the show, and can offer advice for heads, it would be greatly appreciated,
    this is going to be something of a kit bash project, so Mego/FTC heads would be easiest.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Well I know you've seen Daz's customs. As per my post over there I had to google Mod Squad before commenting because I've never seen the show!

    I think his use of Launcelot works well, but I think your POTA Burke would work well too.

    As for the captain, there's a publicity shot I saw and immediately thought '66 Dick Grayson.

    But do keep in mind this 'helpful advice' is coming from someone that's never watched Mod Squad

      Thanks Riderfan, any advice is very helpful, so greatly appreciate it, I never thought of 66 Grayson for the
      Captain. I did see Daz's customs and liked them very much.

          You're more than welcome.

          To me the Capt would be the easiest of the group. '66 Dick head with AE Bruce Wayne suit, done. But in the photo I saw while his jacket was grey his pants were a dark color, so maybe mix & match some stuff from CTV's 'custom dress suits' page for a more unique look?

          I have a surplus Burke head, lots of rubs so hair would have to repainted. Would only want actual postage + $1.00 for the padded envelope. PM if interested.

            Thanks for the offer Riderfan, I may go with Burke or Lancelot, pretty much a toss up, I think either would work.
            I already have a Lancelot head, took him off a custom Trek redshirt, I'll have to check out Zica for the girls head,
            or use the ctvt blonde girl and straighten out her hair, I kind of like the LJN Rookies Terry with a flock for the other guy,
            and will probably go with 66 Grayson head for the Captain. Hoping to do this project but don't want to be a copycat
            from daz71 set, I also think custom cardbacks would look nice.
