The original "Peter Parker" figure was just a Shazam wearing a sweater wasn't he? Did he have different colored hair or eyes or anything?

It was the same sculpt for Cap and Pete, with different paint apps. Cap had slightly darker hair and "black" eyes, while Pete's paint job simulated a "widow's peak" that wasn't really there in the sculpt, and he had blue eyes. Here's an image from the Mego Museum. The image at the far right is a repro from Doc Mego.

It's typical of Mego's "close enough, let's run with it" attitude that not only was the sculpt a retread, but it doesn't actually resemble either character as depicted in comics.
"You were right again, Batman. We might have been killed."
"Or worse. Let's go..."

I do like the 3D sculpts for Peter TV and Peter Romita

Got boxes, S bodies, heads with paint, and suits so here’s a Ditko and a Eomita Spidey. I wish the costumes were more Ditko, but these are off the shelf.

Finally, from The-Toyroom.com
Either a 2 pack of the twins, or a 3 pack with Spidey ‘67 in the center.
Anthony Durso did a two pack and singles before, so he’s looking for pictures now.

With so many 3D head sculpts, you could make Kraven, Electro, Green Goblin and more from the show. Dan Hayes for the outfits.

Not a fan of Mego, but these are fun and well-done!

Love the Ditko tribute artwork (even though Johnny Romita was, for me, THE Spider-man artist. RIP).

I started my regular Spidey run with Amazing Spidey 94, so until I picked up Spidey #1, I didn’t know of Ditko. Romita’s Spidey seems like college vs Ditko’s high school quirky Spidey. My plan is to make/assemble/buy as many classic villains from the 67 Animated Series that also appeared in the comics.

Me too! Have the DVD set? Can’t wait to watch them with my grandson when he comes of age.

I went with the double box. The heads will take the longest, but FTC/CTVC has sent their stuff.

Had a chance to buy the DVD set for $25 a few years ago and passed. Regretted it.

Raw figure and with tights

The tights and heads were on sale. I like that the twins were named Stan and Lee

Probably one of the easiest and lowest cost figures. If you wanted a mask less face, these are about $5 each at FTC.
