I like the lanky quality of your mecha,
sort of stylized like they leapt right out of an
anime cell. They make super cool sets. You should
be able to sell a bunch of these.
P.S. Technically you can't sell a model replica of a "Valkyrie"
or "Zaku" without infringing on copyrights and trademarks
as I don't think these are public domain.
If you name them something else to avoid the trademark
that would be ok, given that copyrights may give latitude for
an inexact copy using lego as opposed to making a plastic
mold from some other model kit - made by a company that licensed
the design and trademark. (Remember how BattleTech got burned
for selling renamed models of blatantly cloned Robotech mecha).
