Spirit is the only obvious one that I've noticed.

I would agree. I think this is part of what Hasbro meant when, during several Q&As, they mentioned looking at popular culture, among other references, for inspiration. Obviously, these films and games are part of popular culture. Pretty well inspired, IMO.

Shadow Tracker is thought to look a little bit like a Predator. Recondo looks like Blain (from Predator).

I only think the Cobra Shock Trooper looks like the guys in MW2 that try and stop you at the airport. Sorry I'm not seeing it. I don't like that Spirit TRU can keep both of those exculsives I want none of them.

i agree the use of these popular franchise by hasbro is a very good move and in my opinion a leap foward in the joe universe,and of course spirit being the most obvious,but also cs firefly and beach head as well as the incorporation of the pulse rifle and smartgun from aliens and to me the look of the 2011 duke kind of reminds me of and choped down uniform of the colonial marines or at least some elements of it.and the flight pack from skydive ver M.G.S. like in design.and of course the newest storm shadow looking like ryu hyabusa.all good stuff.

This can only mean 1 thing. We are getting that much close to a Carl Weathers action figure. No more pretending with 'The Fridge' for me!
I kinda see where your coming from. At least with the following PoC Spirit = Billy Jungle Viper = Predator PoC Recondo = Jesse Ventura PoC Duke = Animal Mother from FMJ But, the one thing Predator and GI Joe have in common is the blending of military and Sci-fi with the leaning that much heavier on the military side.

When we first got the image of Recondo I said he looked like Blaine from Predator
