An idea for Mattel, I know you said once you weren't going to make anymore real scale ringsets, however, why not have the ring skirts for Smackdown, NXT, WrestleMania, PPV's etc in with the Elite Collection figures. You could have a ring skirt with the least popular figure of that series and then we get the best of both worlds!!!
You could also include coloured ring ropes in some sets too, surely this would save money than making new rings.
What's everyone else's thoughts on this? Or ring skirts in general?

Yeah, it doesn't sound like a bad idea, but aren't there websites where you could buy custom ones?

Kinda like Jakks did with alot of CS figs? Not a bad idea.

It's a great idea.
Personally I would love classic some classic WCW ringmats and ringskirts. Particularly the classic Nitro, Thunder and mid-90s generic ones.

Good idea bro I would love this. They would probably make them like 1/1000 figs if they did it.

I like this idea but instead of being packed with random Elites, it would be better to make them as special ring kits on Matty's, IMO. The kit could be as simple as a ring skirt with a matching set of ropes. I'd give Mattel special bonus points if they even went as far as making some retro turnbuckle pads to complete the look!
I just don't think it makes sense to include them in the Elite line when the ESR is not readily available or supported anymore. What casual collector would want a set of ropes and skirt to a ring that doesn't exist at retail? It'd be kinda like Basics suddenly coming with new 1/1000 belt plates and assuming we have the old 2010 straps for them. It would just become a useless, throw-away item. An ESR kit is really more of a niche collector's item.
That being said, I'd love to see new themes for the ESR like Wrestlemania, Smackdown, NXT, ECW, WCW, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, and retro Raw is War, among many others! I'm disappointed that cool items, like the chase Smackdown & Legends ESR, got scrapped.
