Why are you making a plastic model of El Dora V? Isn't that kind of weird? It was essentially born from Director Taniguchi and Yamane-san just getting completely carried away with their ideas, you know? Of course, that might not be appropriate for me to say, considering all of the design work was left to me. Can you really make an injection model kit that cheap these days? (We never said it was cheap.) If not, it must have been possible through some wonderous Good Smile Company science? Well then, that is wonderful!

Of course, it's all thanks to the passionate fans. Even if a character (or well, a robot in this case) was born out of impure motives, they are ultimately raised by the fans. I also want to thank Director Taniguchi and Yamane-san for allowing me to be involved in designing El Dora V! I'm extremely grateful for this plastic model adaptation!

Seichi Nakatani, El Dora V Mechanical Designer

I was tasked with refining Nakatani-san's designs for the anime, including El Dora Soul. The director had told me, "This is the end of Brave heroes! Yamane-san, I want you to handle this like it's the last Brave mecha ever." Not only was it not the last one, I had no idea I'd be involved with it for so long... (in a good way.) I think it just goes to show that the spirit of the Brave series is immortal, just like El Dora V.

The promotional video was so great, I thought it was just the same as the storyboard I did for a second. The way El Dora IV's head was recreated was especially impressive! I can only thank the design staff who responded to every single request I had regarding different armaments and weapons. It really is incredible how you were able to get El Dora V to combine...

Masahiro Yamane, Gun x Sword Image Leader

El Dora V is a mecha whose transformation design I had already thought up before its name was even brought up in the product request surveys. I researched all kinds of original design documents trying to figure out how to bring those transformations and combinations into plastic model form.

I told Mecha Smile Producer Hiro-san, "If El Dora V is ever made into a plastic model kit, I definitely want to be the one to create it." I was so happy Hiro-san bought into my passion, and so I put all of my love into modeling this mecha.

There were plenty of difficult aspects, such as storing the head of the Grand Header, connecting the Body Gander and Power Hander, storing the turret of the Nice Footer and transforming the Pink Amigo, but I think we were able to create a product that pays proper respect to the source material while being easy to transform and combine for all of the fans.
