It seems like it's harder than I thought it'd be to assemble a Sentai team

Recently I watched some Sentai as suggested by a friend, (because I watched the Kamen Rider VS Sentai movie and asked him some questions about it, like,
"who the hell is this Capt Marvelous dude?"
),..and I thought it was alright,..I'll definitely finish the series and probably watch a couple more series.
So I started looking online thinking it probably wouldn't be that hard to find 5 or so figures and assemble a little team for my shelf. I was especially thinking since there's (I thought) a ton of Power Rangers toys it should be easy to grab some MMPR toys and just consider them to be Sentai.
And I started looking, and looking, and looking. It's like I find a run that made 3 figures but I can't find the other 2. Or I find a run that (sort of?) looks ok like the Legacy series,...but they're very muscular and don't actually look much like the show at all. Or I find a Bandai Red Ranger Vinyl figure that looks really good and a lot like the show when it comes to proportions,...but then all I find is Red Rangers and none of the other team members. I find some great looking SH Figurarts figures, but not the whole team.
So I'm starting to think I'll probably just buy that red vinyl Ranger that has the right proportions, and the Red Capt Marvelous vinyl (since he was in the Kamen Rider movie I'll add him to my Kamen Rider collection),..and just call it a day I guess.
I do like the full size Red Ranger helmets I've been seeing for like $100. Maybe I'll just get one of those and put it with my Stormtrooper helmets.
I'm not trying to whine (too much?),.. but I was really surprised that it sure doesn't seem easy to build a good looking, accurate, Sentai team.
I'm not giving up the hunt, ...the hunt is part of the fun of collecting, right? But it amazes me that what I thought would be so much easier than getting Godzilla/KRider/Ultraman,...has turned out to be so much harder to find than G/KR/U.
Starting to think the MMPR Legacy figures Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Black, Pink,....are probably my best bet to get a whole team together though. Is that about right? And just have to accept the proportions are all wrong when compared to the show?
edit: And I'm all ears if some wise ol' Sentai/MMPR Collector want's to go,
