This isn't really a PoC Easter Egg, but take off Beach Head's vest, swap jungle Duke's head onto him, and tell me that wouldn't make a great Solid Snake figure with the addition of some gray paint.

As for the Predator homages, if I could get an Ah-nold...er, I mean, Dutch figure, and a figure of that pencil pushing son-of-bitch Dillon, I'd be really happy.  Bench Press could probably be made into a pretty decent Jesse Ventura knock-off...

So you're saying that Duke is in fact Liquid Snake?

Like I said, it would take some gray paint & you'd have to paint the hair brown...and a leg swap with, say, Firefly probably wouldn't hurt either.  Plus there's just a bit of an issue with Duke's head fitting loosely, but that's easily solved.

I'm gonna have to make me a Solid Snake custom, apparently ;D

Recondo's hat could be used for Blaine.  Heavy Duty's weapons for the mini-gun.

Funny you would say that.
Recondo's hat and a few other parts of him were originally designed for a Blaine figure much like the Predator parts and wave 1 Duke's Dutch parts.  Blaines mini gun is going to show up with the 2011 Destro connected to a steady cam contraption originally designed for a Colonial Marine figure's chain gun.  2011 Duke will be sporting a Colonial Marine design complete with a Pulse Rifle from Aliens.  Snake Eyes wave 2's armor vest was actually designed for a Colonial Marine figure and SE's chest mold is actually the Predator body.   The Predator and Aliens figures were original concepts from Kenner that were never produced.
This was touched on at the US Collectors Convention by the Hasbro design team panel and another GI Joe board's Hasbro Q & A

This is so exciting!!! PoC figures are not only great looking but we can make Solid Snake figure and Predator Figures!  PoC is hard enough now to find when this info hit mainstream it may be even harder to get them.

Its a great way for hasbro to sell multiple of the non troop builders too since people will buy 2 just to make a new figure.

I've always been a sucker for build-a-figure gimmicks.
