I noticed the single-packed agent K missing from most pegs as well. I was hoping those figures would be a little more to-scale with joes, K would make a nice secret agent/secret serviceman if his head wasn't so big compared to joes' heads.

Hmm, I wonder who that vendor was? lol so how many Shock Troopers do you have left after that? More than what's on my shelf? Haha and you've seen it too so you know there's no BS from my end ;)

How many shock troopers do you have?

The MIB work well enough, finally found a K in Kingston, and a gambit sinister 2 pk in taunton walmart.

Nice grab on the gambit/sinister. After looking at pics online in more detail, I'd like at least sinister, so maybe I can snag one at a comic/smaller toy shop sometime.

Ever since I saw wave 3 snake eyes and the shock trooper at Joecon, I always imagined in my head that if POC was used as the basis for a live-action Joe show, we'd have some fight scene where wave 3 Snake Eyes is riding up an elevator in some Cobra-owned skyscraper. A whole team of Shock Troopers are stationed on the floor he'll reach. The elevator reaches it's destination, *ding* Doors open, and to the troopers shock, out comes Snake, swords drawn, and he just cuts the guys down while they fall, their guns are firing off target, shooting through windows, walls, and ceilings as their bodies drop. He makes his way to the end of the hall, whips the blood off his swords, puts them back into their scabbards, and all that remains behind him is a wake of silence, smoke, and blood slowly covering the floor.

Hahaha... You and your questionable activities.

Say, where is DS anyway? Anyone heard from him? If you're reading this buddy, I still want those Sea Command sets you're (hopefully) holding for me! Hope he's doing ok, wherever he is.

So... Have you ever seen "Ultraviolet"? "Resident Evil"? ..."The Matrix"? Yeah, there you go.

I was also imagining the Professional.

Of course I have, and they're not original ideas (I see your edit note). Films are always copying or trying to outdo another, striving to be "the next best thing." The whole cliche of "badass hero has an awesome entrance into room full of enemies, kills everyone in a spectacular manner, leaves destruction in his wake." is just what those two toys made me think of at the moment I first laid eyes on them. I'm sure in at least some form of Joe-related media Snake Eyes has already been cast in such a scenario, perhaps more than once.

You could have also used this example, which is what I would have first thought of if I had to come up with a preexisting example:

My point being is that when looking at different G.I. Joe figures, I sometimes wonder "where would they use this guy?" For the shock Troopers, I imagined them enforcing curfews upon civilians in some Cobra-held city or serving as security guards in some Cobra-owned corporate building.
