I'll be perfectly honest, I don't think sculpt is the reason. To me at least at the end of the day it comes down to shoddy wave design/assortment, lack of weapons and requiring you to re-buy figures to get the signature weapons, and the BAF. Yes the proportions for the females are in the realm of exaggeration, but why would that stop a kid? Didn't we all buy the females as kids so we could have a full team, favorite character, etc? Now for us adult collectors I could sort of see it being that we have lines such as Figuarts, but even then we seem to not mind as much.
In terms of the wave design I will never understand why Bandai thought having two teams per wave was a good idea. I don't speak for all of us or really anybody else, but I'd feel safe in guessing a good majority of us would prefer having a wave dedicated to one singular team and moving on to a new team for the next wave. Think about it, it took three waves to complete MMPR. Three. That is absurd. As is re-releasing a team just to provide weapons. I see no reason to re-buy a team you may already have just for weapons. Why not just release an accessory pack (of course this is if the BAF was always a thing from the beginning). Now if six ranger waves/extra ranger waves were always going to be a thing as well I could understand the split to have two three member teams done. But for a full 5 ranger core team? As far as the case assortment goes, yeah, that's just utterly bonkers.
The weapons to me should've just always been included. Yes the BAF takes up space, but while I wouldn't want to pay $30-$35 as was asked on Twitter a while back, I'd at least pay $25 to get what we have and at least a weapon. Then again being that Bandai wants this format just make a weapon/accessory pack for each team. And the BAF, eh I don't really know what to say. I like the idea of having a little megazord, but as others have said for less than an entire set of the figures to built it you can get a bigger and more playable megazord.
