For me, they're kind of a mixed bag.
I have Dragonranger, Kibaranger, Kingranger, Time Red, Beet Buster, and Kyoryu Red.
Of these, Beet Buster is the clear winner, as far as overall quality and screen-accuracy go. Dragonranger, Kibaranger, and Kingranger are also extremely solid figures, even though I wish their proportions were more in-line with what we see on-screen.
Time Red and Kyoryu Red are... fine, I guess.
Visually, I think the armored characters, and those that don't just replicate the standard male ranger mold, are pretty stand-out pieces. Unfortunately, the non-armored, standard rangers leave a lot to be desired. I think the armor tends to cover up some of the unsightly exposed joints and proportion weaknesses, and without those embellishments, the base figures are not as seamless or realistic-looking as I'd like them to be.
Poseability-wise, I think all of the figures have their struggles (some joints are way too stiff while others are way too loose; and the way their torsos twist and bend is a little disturbing), but again, the non-armored rangers just feel a little... odd... with their joints so clearly exposed.
I also don't think I've seen any improvements or evolutions in the line at all. The newer figures are pretty much carbon copies of the older ones (except for the ones that deviate from the standard molds, obviously). I don't really see Hasbro learning and adapting to criticism. Maybe these figures just aren't popular enough for further R&D. I don't know.
So far, I've stuck to the male rangers mostly because I deeply detest how the female rangers' arms look in proportion to the rest of their bodies. That said, I'll probably be picking up Oh Yellow when she comes out. I'll have more to say about those later.
I'd give the line, overall, a 3/5... but there are some 5/5 entries mixed in.
