• The manipulators can swivel on a ball-and-socket joint.
• The waist can rotate 360 degrees.
• The upper thighs can swivel on the hips' ball-and-socket joints, though the backwards articulation is limited due to the non-poseable rear skirt armor.

Tips & Tricks

• For better results, some or most of the details are needed to be painted/panel-lined with Gundam Markers or Mr. Color paints.
• Topcoat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied stickers/marking decals and if any, painted details.
• If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.

Customizing-based tips

• Two copies of the kit are needed if one wishes to recreate the double Strum Faust.
• The Machine Gun from 1/144 System Weapon 001 can be used on this Gunpla.
• The Bazooka from 1/144 System Weapon 009 can be used on this Gunpla.

B-Club related customizations

• High Detail Manipulator 122 can be used for this kit.
• The c.o.v.e.r.-kit-4 for HGUC Zudah can be used to remodel this kit into EMS-04.

Variants

Reissues of the kit from September 2018 onward will feature a blue-colored Bandai Spirits logo. Later reprints from mid-2022 will also feature an additional Bandai Namco logo.
