Webmaster's Note:

It was common practice at Hasbro among the toy makers to sculpt action figures to look like real life individuals - including employees of Hasbro.

Sidetrack (version 2) bears a resemblance to and was named after John Boyce, a member of the G.I. Joe design team working for Hasbro at the time of this figure's release. The original version of Side Track bears a different file name.

Versions of Sidetrack:

• Version One (2000)
• Version Two (2002)
