Megs did one for DTC, Spy Troops deserves some loving too!
To this day, one of my favorite waves of GI Joe toys is Wave 5 (Which is wave 1 of Spy troops but JvC ended with four waves). The wave had entirely new sculpts and plenty of new Joes and Cobras which the line needed. The wave also included Barrel with the first of many vehicle packs. These packs had one figure and a vehicle but it wasn't at the price point of an alpha vehicle. Barrel Roll was a sniper and a fixed wing pilot (I think. He was a pilot) which made the character just plain awesome.
The figure itself had decent proportions and cut wrists which were still slowly making their way into the line. The cut wrists allowed to him actually hold his sniper rifle. Can't forget about the glider which could either double as a joe or cobra glider since this is Spytroops. If you decide to army build the glider, the Spy Troops armor allows you to create and name your own viper out of the gear.
Also Honorable Mentions: Crosshairs (wave 5), Grunt (Wave 7 or alpha), and Bat
