Hey guys!
So I'm looking to display my figures in my bedroom somewhere but I'd really like to add a ring and some staging with accessories. I know Micro posted a really cool arena a few days ago but I'm honestly not sure how much of that I can find in stores.
I'm new to Mattel and have parted with all my old Jakks accessories, rings, arenas, etc. I've heard that there is an "Elite ring" but I really don't have any information other than it exists.
Any help is appreciate guys! Thank you so much for your time.

The elite ring is the way to go IMO. Great ring. Some say it's way too big but I think its perfect.

i have a ton of parts and accessories, i just dont really have the room for them anymore. i will probably list some stuff in my classifieds soon so they can go to someone that will actually use them.

Like others mentioned, I also recommend getting the Elite Scale Ring if you can get it. It's the best ring made so far and you can still find it online. The only downside is that it requires a lot of space, especially if you want to assemble a full arena around it.
Since a lot of Jakks' playsets are no longer in stores, I suggest looking at the FlexForce playsets for alternatives. For example, the Launchin' Entrance Ring comes with a simple entrance stage that resembles a WWE house show. I know it's not as nice as a full Titantron but it's compact and space-efficient. Another great space-efficient alternative is the Ringside Battle Playset. You get a Basic ring, barricades, lots of accessories, and a collapsible Announce Table. That's the best Mattel product that practically gives you a complete arena setup right now!
I also suggest taking a look at the "WF Figure Feds - Pics!" forum for inspiration. Browse through the shows and you'll find some creative arena setups there; Some simple, some complex. Don't be afraid to think outside the box and create your own accessories, too. For example, want some floor mats to surround the ring but can't afford to get a $100+ RSR? Just get a couple of sheets of black craft foam for $1 each, cut them to size, and score in your own grooves to simulate floor padding! Stores like Michaels and AC Moore have tons of materials and supplies for special crafts.
Finally, if you want to look at all my "Setting the Stage" playset reviews, I recently compiled them all in my new website: Micro's WWE Toy Universe! I put this together to host my upcoming picture fed but decided to take advantage of the site to post all my figure and playset reviews, along with all my animation videos and anything related to my wrestling collection. Just follow the link below my sig and check it out!
(Shameless plug, I know, but I'd appreciate the feedback on it and want to make sure that it works for everyone!)
Well, I hope this helps!

I'm SO glad I got it off of Amazon for thirty-five bucks when Target had it on sale, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to experience its awesomeness. The only thing it's missing is tag ropes, which is easily remedied by some kite string.
