It is not wrong in the least. You could always buy it for the SD Gosei Knight and then try to move the core team.

And the reason I said "extra senshi" in this case is only because Gosei Knight is not a 6th Ranger. I don't mind saying "6th Ranger" or whatnot, but he's of that "other" group, like Bullblack and Signalman and the like.

I like it. Not enough to buy it for myself, but my cousin's kid is into Power Rangers to. I think I have his birthday present.

I'd probably just keep the core team around, cause you can't break up a Ranger team.

I don't recall them referring to rangers as senshi either. At least not on any regular basis. I'm pretty sure they just call them heroes.

"Extra senshi" was the term I had always heard in the fandom for the additional members of the sentai team after the core members. No reason you can't use "Extra Hero" or whatever; I think the term is somewhat out of use and "old fashioned" at this point. (I think I first heard it used in like 1998 or so.)

In any event I am glad that Gosei Knight is included instead of the evil minion like in the Samurai SD boxed set. I would have liked the Samurai set a lot more if it had all 6 of the Rangers in it.

Got it in the mail today.

Comes with this card:

Oh, and also....these figures have zero articulation.
