The character Trini is female and they got away with it because of yellow "traditionally" being more associated with girls/women.

I thought it was because Thuy/Trini was....uuhhh...."right for the part". Always thought it was strange they decided the Asian should be Yellow, and the black guy should be Black. Just sayin'......

Anyhoo, they should've just went the same way as Tyranno/Dragon Ranger. I feel the purists, especially from a collector POV. But most if not all companies see money, so guess this is their way of testing the waters on this figure. This is the first time they've encountered this kind of issue. And willing to bet this'll set the standard for other gender-bent characters.
