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. First I'll start with Gaoranger (Wild Force) to Go-Onger (RPM) which is considered the Disney Era. Some pics thanks to Hedgen GSentai.
