I'm pretty sure they have more functionality, or at least more useful joints and articulation than Bandai's version.

I distinctly remember when they were first shown in that fan first thing, and I was freaking out about the megazord having elbows and ankles and a ball jointed neck, which I'm pretty sure no standard megazord toy has had before. Basically Transformers articulation.

(Edit: I completely missed that you already mentioned the articulation. Oops)

Also, I like how they set up the other two boxes. Gives the smaller zords something to do aside from sticking onto the t-rex.

They also have more surface detail, which in this case I really like.

Also the fact that in the five zord combination, you can at least move the sword up more than the Japanese version.

What I do wonder about is "Zord Link" and whether this will be the spiritual successor to Bandai USA's "Zord-Builder"!?

I don't see any possibility of Ryusoulger/Dino Fury designs interacting with the Zords of a future P.R. season, but I do wonder if "Zord Link" could become a blanket phrase used from one season to the next, ultimately referring to that season's interconnectivity as opposed to the cross-connectivity of the old "Zord-Builder" System!
I was wondering about Zord Link myself, but I think it’s just a marketing term to say that the zords have different combinations as opposed to being able to combine with Beast Morphers or MMPR Megazords.

I wonder how these would look with a light wash? Or even just panel lining.

The T-rex has elbow joins at least which is more than the Bandai release has.
It might have knee joints too but it is hard to tell

Check the Amazon Pack which includes all five. The promotional images also give us a better look at some of the alternate formations, including Warrior Formation (Kishiryuoh Five Knights).

Okay, now I'm wondering why every product picture of the T-Rex zord's Megazord mode has that one tiger piece on it.

That Ankylo/Tiger chimeric-looking thing reminds me of the recent Cats movie. :lolol

I think they pretty clearly have completely different proportions, and I think the Bandai ones look a lot better.

Obviously, it's cool that the Hasbro ones have better articulation, but I'm just not sold on the aesthetic. Maybe it's just Hasbro's awful product photography -- I could be swayed once I see these in action -- but so far they just don't look appealing to me.
