View Full Version : Favorite Spy Troops Figure?

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

What about Scalpel? Finnally a true Cobra Doctor, that was not a freak (ala Dr. Mindbender)

He sorta was a freak....his file card depicts him as sorta a sadist.

Scalpal would be one, the Blue and Black Alley Viper or Night Force Duke.

I missed alot of those , as I wasn't really liking GIJoe at the time, however since then I have decided to catch up and so far my favorite is Destro. That was the incarnation where he looked like a take no prisoners badass. He was built like a tank and his weapon was a friggin shotgun, simple yet evil.

I liked Blackout. A failed JOe turned Cobra/ Awesome idea, and long overdue.

Crosshair became a HUGE favorite of mine, not just his character, but his figure sculpt was FANTASTIC. I liked him so much I ended up getting all the different versions. Personal favorite is the Tiger Force repaint from Valor vs Venom (which also included a great repaint of Alpine, assuming you didn't get the orange one)

CG's with removable helmets, too bad they did not do the same treatment to the troopers/vipers.
