yup. To pull a doggie cruger on all of them, when they wouldnt do it on Smokey/Jenji, is looking really doubtful. It would probably cost too much of their budget.
Again, do we even know if these are going to be in the show? These might just be toys and nothing more. We cant just assume they will be in the show. But if they are in the show; The kensei costumes could still show up. Who knows, maybe they just wanted them to have a ranger form. Speculation is endless on this subject, that's for sure.
The kensei costumes are nothing special, but I dont think they're that ugly. Smokey was dumber looking than them, anyhow.
