Notes
[edit]- The 2003 G.I. Joe figure Switch Gears was given the identity of Jerome T. Jivoin, presumably in his honor.[1]
- When Jerry Jivoin was unable to attend BotCon 2005, a 12-inch G.I. Joe toy dubbed "Lil' Jerry" stood in for him.
- Jivoin appears in an inset on the cover of Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 46, holding up San Diego Comic-Con Bruticus.
- Jerry and Ramon's "Showdown Collection" subline went through some noticeable changes from their initial presentation to market, evidently dropping the unifying branding and picking up several more combo packs.
