Which pre-Zyu Super Sentai suit designs have aged well?
 

I thought of making this discussion about Showa Super Sentai, but since most of us here aren't that familiar with Turboranger and Fiveman, and quite a few aren't familiar with Jetman, I thought including them would make this discussion more interesting and comprehensive. The cut-off point for most non-Japanese fans would be Zyuranger anyway, since it was the first Power Rangers.

The following are the pre-Zyu series:

1. Himitsu Sentai Gorenger
2. J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai
3. Battle Fever J
4. Denshi Sentai Denziman
5. Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan
6. Dai Sentai Goggle-V
7. Kagaku Sentai Dynaman
8. Choudenshi Bioman
9. Dengeki Sentai Changeman
10. Choushinsei Flashman
11. Hikari Sentai Maskman
12. Choujuu Sentai Liveman
13. Kousoku Sentai Turboranger
14. Chikyu Sentai Fiveman
15. Chōjin Sentai Jetman

As usual, there's this useful poster from Gokaiger which I'll have to link because it's too huge. It's pretty representative except for some of the gender switches.

Which pre-Zyu suits, in your opinion, have aged well? Conversely, which look really bad now?

Jetman, JAKQ, Liveman, Maskman have all aged well.

The only suits that I would say have aged poorly or are just bad suits are Denziman and Fiveman.

Do you mean the designs or the suits themselves?

Edit: I really need to read.

Well, Jetman first of course is nice probably the one that aged the best. I like Fiveman and Maskman and Flashman. (Favorite one by the way)

Jetman to me is the best one that's aged. Even now they hold up against some of the newer suit designs we've seen in recent years. Out of the others, I'd say JAKQ and and Maskman are the other two pest.

Suits that have aged well:

Goranger
JAKQ
Battle Fever J (except for Miss American of course :lol)
Sun Vulcan
Dynaman
Bioman
Changeman
Flashman
Maskman
Liveman
Turboranger
Fiveman
Jetman

So yeah, basically every suit except for Goggle-V and Denziman. :lol

Flashman has a pretty good suit design.

Battle Fever J suits have not aged well at all guys.:lol

Kind of makes the joke in the Abaranger episode of Gokaiger where Ahim was embarrassed to be wearing the Aba Pink suit rather strange considering the fact that she had no problem fighting in the Miss America suit.

Well that probably has something to do with the fact that Miss America is considered an official Sentai Senshi and all.:lol

I like Sun Vulcan, Denjiman, Changeman, Flashman, Maskman, and Jetman.
And Dairanger.

I'm aware of that, it's just that... well which suit would you rather wear?

Trust me when I say that you guys would not to see me wearing either:lol

Please never wear Miss America. :lol

Personally, Liveman. Something about those suits I like. Liveman, and Jetman.

Please.
For the Tokunation.
Take a picture of yourself wearing Miss America's suit.

By all means

You first. :lol

Sweet Madoka, what have I started?

A portal into Nightmare Fuel.

If I do, I fully expect to see you hold your end of the bargain. :p

I'm legit scared now.

Why do I get the feeling you have had a "public speaking in your underwear" style dream in which you were wearing a Miss America suit?

I won't held responsible for any nightmares that maybe caused:p

Id say goranger, j.a.k.q. , liveman, and jetman.

bioman since that was my first sentai series watched it along with transformers

I think Denziman and everything after that look pretty good. I even like most of the Battle Fever J suits.

Most of them carry over pretty well, but the ones that could probably work today without any tweaks would be Bioman, Flashman, Liveman, and Jetman.

Most of them look pretty good. Except Miss America and JAQK. I'd take some of them over some heisei suits (Eg: Gingaman)

Liveman, and Jetman looks sweet.

Maskman and Liveman

Most of them all look fine today, but I would say that the Dynaman, Goggle V, Sun Vulcan, Batter Fever J, and the helmets to Flashman look extremely dated.

I really dig the Bioman ones for some reason.
