While doing research for this website i started looking into the fact that Stephen King wrote the filecard
for a G.I. Joe named 'Crystal ball' and in thanks, Hasbro gave the real name of Sneak Peak the same name as Stephen
King's son, Owen King. While looking at the illustration of another GI Joe named Crystal Ball i noticed an uncanny resemblance to Vincent
Price. So then i started to think that maybe the reason Sneak Peek looked so strange was because he was modeled after
someone also. I looked at pictures of Stephen King and he didn't seem to match, so then i thought that maybe they
modeled him after Stephen's son, Owen; it was his name they used after all. I tracked down a photo of Owen King and
i have to say....no match. So my quest failed, maybe someday we'll find the answer or maybe Sneak Peek's likeness
isn't modeled after anybody at all. I do have to say though, i bet Owen was pissed when he saw the figure they named him after.
