Trivia
- The prototype of Jimi Stringer was called "Jimi Riff." He was once referred to as Riff by Mak Megahertz on Hero Factory FM, probably by mistake. Stringer once said "bass riff" in Episode 1: Trials of Furno, which is possibly a reference to the prototype.
- In LEGOshop.com, the set was called "Jim Stringer."
- Some prototype pictures of Stringer depict him as having the Sonic Boom Weapon for his left arm instead of his right.
