This is an exhaustive search but I feel like doing it now. This is uber-nerdy but I decided to catalog the different poses the Rangers do. This is more common in Super Sentai and ignored or not focuses on in Power Rangers. In Power Rangers, it is inconsistent. For example, I met suit actor/stunt man Yasuhiro Takeuchi and he did the poses for each Ranger he ever did at PMC 4. These poses are usually in the roll call. Another tradition in Sentai is for the actual actors to do the poses 'de-morphed' in the finale. In the Disney Era, the individual poses slipped in much more (usually at the end of a Morphing sequence) as roll calls aren't common in Power Rangers as they are in Sentai. With early Saban, it was just random poses that were inconsistent from the show itself and promotion. I'm going to cover the Sentai poses and compare to the American. Now I'm doing the early Saban Era: Zyuranger to Timeranger.

Tyranno Ranger/Red Ranger
In Zyuranger, he had legs apart and kind of crouched. His left arm was in front of chest and right arm around head. In MMPR, this varied. Of course, season one heavily focused on the footage so this was the norm. For Zyu 2 footage, they did similar poses. For Season 3, a similar pose was used when calling the Ninja Zords with left fist closed. (Top Second Row Right) Later on, it was different poses. For example, pic on Top First Row Right is from Forever Red, where both arms are in the air. Below pic is a common drawing used in merchandise with legs apart and two fists, one near belt and the other up near the chest. Meanwhile Metallic armor was left arm below chest pointing right and right arm bent pointing left and up and with clench fist.

Tricera Ranger/Blue Ranger
Zyuranger pose was legs apart, right leg bent at knee, right arm bent behind helmet and left arm in fist on side. This was also done for the Thunderzord calling. Similar pose done in Zyu 2 but more crouched down. Pose used for Season 3 to call the Ninja Zords was similar but fingers were shown to the screen. Metallic Armor pose was the same. Common drawing in the 90's was Blue in the air with right arm extended with fist and left hand open.

Even though Tiger Ranger and the Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger were different genders, they kept the same pose for the first season but had different poses in promotion and then later seasons. Couldn't find a pic of it from Zyuranger but his move was similar to what was used in Zyu 2 and 3rd season summoning Ninja Zords, crouched sideways, left arm out and right arm tucked near stomach. Metallic armor, similar pose. In drawings for promos, her legs were stretched out, right leg bent, right arm out upward diagonally and left arm slightly bent in fist.

Mammoth Ranger/Black Ranger
One move was hand outstrched fingers and other arm bent with fist near head. Other pose was left hand on right bicep, used in Zyu 2 but open palm and in Season 3 similar but left hand on chest. For promos, the drawing of him blasting his power axe or another pose was used. Metallic armor pose was fists closed left arm pointing forward and right arm extended out.
