Hello, again...I thought that, since I actually have these figures, I'd post a combined review of all the SPD team sans Omega.

Poseability:

The joints are as follows: (Note: All figures have all the same joints)

1. The head rotates around 360 degrees.
2. The arms rotate 360 degrees.
3. The arms can be raised/lowered almost 180 degrees.
4. Ninety degree elbow rotation, all in one direction.
5. The wrists rotate 360 degrees.
6. The legs rotate a little under Ninety degrees.
7. The legs also can be raised/lowered about Ninety degrees, too.
8. The lower legs rotate around 360 degrees.
9. Finally, the knees bend Ninety degrees.

In terms of the figures being able to do the official poses, they can do the first posing part, and all can do their official poses, save Yellow. This is because the figures have no upper-arm rotational joints. In my book, that is not cool, espically considering some other Bandai products I own. *coughGundamVer.2.0cough*

All in all, exceedingly poseable. Though, I have my own problems with them.

Prettiness:

All look like their morphed forms very well, and the girls are a different mold than the guys. Also, Shadow is not a repaint with a different helment. He's actually a differently molded figure. And that is very nice in my opinion.

Also, the light-up gimmick is neat and canonical. Though, with my figures, Red, Yellow, and Pink tend to look like their whole helment lights up.

Weaponary:

In terms of the weapons, you get the Delta Blasters (In combo mode) for Red, and the Deltamax Strikers in combined mode for the rest of the team. They're extremely well-molded, with a lot of detail. Though, they are only in one color, and the holders tend to have problems holding on to them after a while.

Shadow Ranger's weapons get special mention: One, his Shadow Sabre is molded in black, and it also well-molded in powered-up mode. And, you get half of RIC in K-9* Cannon mode. My running theory is that the second half will be included with the Omega Ranger.

*About the K-9: It's how I type it. Mainly I like it since it's a blatent ref to Murphy K-9 from Dekaranger.

Judgement Time:

At the end of the day, I'm going to say this: The figures are wonderful. They are incredibly poseable, and the accessories are great. Sure, they don't have as many joints as I'd like, but they are wonderful. If you can, really get them.

With this, review complete. Super cool! (Yes, I have seen Dekaranger. So sue me)

It's pretty sad that's it's worth getting excited over the fact the girls get a different mold than the guys *remembers flat-chested MMPR Pink Ranger figure fondly*

And hey, have you seen the Digital Camera/Digital Camera software anywhere? We could make some really pretty pictures of your toys.

Super cool!

Nonsense. (OH MY GOD! I'M SORRY!)

Yeah, I shouldn't comment before I wake up. XD
