Some new cheap bootleg robots- Macres Valkyrie & V Robot Iron Car

I knew I had to pick these two guys up. I had this knockoff valkyrie in different colors as a kid and felt some nostalgia for it. What I love about it is that they renamed it "Macres" which is obviously supposed to look and sound like Macross. It's called a Battroid Valkyrie but instead of Gerwalk mode, they call it a "Giant Moth" mode.

I love Iron Gear and can seem to get enough of these into my collection. Trying to piece together my original plastic Iron Gear. Almost there. These were easily found in Chinatown in the 80's as a kid for about $2. There were so many different robots to be found back then. Now it's cheesy knockoff Power Rangers/Spiderman figures that are found.
