We have our first official look at the new suits from the upcoming Power Rangers reboot.
The photo was unveiled via Entertainment Weekly and it shows off all five of the new rangers. This comes just a few weeks after the updated Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks) was unveiled by Lionsgate, and in fact her costume looks pretty similar to these suits. This fits with the popular theory that in this incarnation, Rita is actually a former Ranger herself who has turned evil prior to the events of the film.

Reactions among fans on Twitter have been mixed, with one common complaint being how pronounced the breasts are in comparison to the original unisex costumes.
I'm glad the new female Power Rangers have heels and boob armor so we all know they're definitely women.

I'm really mad about the new power rangers costumes. I mean, boob armor? Really? Boob armor and wedge heels? Cripes.

Wait the new power rangers suits have heels and boob armour. Burn it all down. Redoing a 90's property doesn't need to mean 90's values.

In this version of the Power Rangers, the costumes are not man-made. Rather, they consist of alien material that grows on the characters themselves.
“The show was about kids coming of age, about metamorphosis,” director Dean Israelite told Entertainment Weeklyl “These suits needed to feel like they were catalyzed by these kids and their energy, their spirit.”
Power Rangers stars Becky G, Ludi Lin, Dacre Montgomery, Naomi Scott, RJ Cyler and Elizabeth Banks. the film is set to hit theaters in March 2017.
