A buck is a standard body for an action figure. So in this case we're talking about whether a Yellow Ranger would have the "standard" male Figuarts body or "standard" femal Figuarts body. Of course they are never standard, and the buck is modified for each release generally. But it's an industry term which has come to find useage among collectors.

A good example of various "bucks" is the old COPS toy line, which had he same construction as GI Joe only scaled up. That had 3 male bucks -- the standard one, the "large" one for big characters like Rock Krusher and the "thin" one for characters like Dr. Badvibes. All had the same articulation and jointing, but overall different bodies.

Personally, I don't want a skirt attachment or variant for the hypothetical Tiger Ranger, just a straight up accurate one. And the Figuarts guys are generally so thin that it can easily pass as a muscular, fit female body like Trini anyway, heh!
