All I'm seeing is another take on Witchblade. Not getting a Rita vibe from this design.

They're definitely not being very subtle with the Green Ranger/Dragonzord inspiration for her costume. Which does make sense for Rita honestly.
I'm really okay with the design itself. Just can't say I expected Rita to look like that. But it's fine.

If this overly sexual and "unlikely-to-get-a-corresponding-figure-in-the-toyline" press shot is meant to represent "Rita Revealed", what will the rest of them look like? Will Goldar look like "Goldar" (hopefully without the "made-out-of-stolen-gold" rumor)? Squat and Baboo and Finster (if they're even included), and the Putties? Will any of the old monsters appear and get a new look like the creatures in the recent Goosebumps?

She has boob armor, sure, but I wouldn't exactly call that image "overly sexual". Of course, it's a subjective issue so I guess our frame of references might be fairly far apart.

So I guess they got this from The Wolverine prop warehouse cause as cool and draconian this may seem THIS is not Rita. This looks like a updated look of the green villain lady from The Wolverine movie.
I can see that they are trying to tie it with the whole Green Ranger thing but come on, at least have some resemblance to the source. I am all for toning down the silly factor but really? What's next? Alpha 5 suit gonna be a Garo suit with a disco ball for a head? Design is cool, don't get me wrong. Just a shame that they deviated too much.

The design itself isn't bad, but unless specifically told who that is, I never would have guessed Rita. It's fine with me though, if it is intended to thematically match with the Green Ranger and Dragonzord then it makes sense. I would have liked it to evoke the original design at least a little bit just so it's recognizably Rita, but it works well enough for me.

I think a good fix would be to give her some sort of hat or helmet and maybe put her in a robe or cloak that she could throw off at some point. Rita should definitely have something large on her head, I think that's probably the main thing.

I think another alternative could be this being her so-called combat form and when not fighting have a robe of some sort like you said that somewhat resembles the Rita people are familiar with.
