I got this ring over the weekend and only have one compliant but it's a big one IMO. The height of the ring ropes being to low. It really bugs me and sours the set for me.
Has anyone come up with any ideas on how to modify the ring post/rope height on this ring? It's a small flaw that makes a big impact. If it could be modded it would make the ring great.

A few pieple attempted it on of the other threads. From memory the light up post is the tricky part. Check out their pics and see what you think anyway.

I've seen some pics taken by other members. I agree, the ropes are very low. It looks like they barely come up to Goldberg's waist. I don't think I'll be buying it. I debated for ages but I think I'll pass.
Anyone know how the old Monster Ring (aka LJN ring) looks up against the Mattel figures?

A HUGE Design flaw from the Mattel Team. Darn shame honestly. I teetered on the fence and the rope issue saved me $108. Hopefully in another 4 or 5 years they will try again. Really great idea with very poor execution. I do think a excuse is coming soon. Did no one catch the rope height at prototype stage? Or even when we saw pics, we didn't notice?

There seem to be a lot of things they don't catch at the prototype phase these days.

This was my main issue with the Jakks real scale ring as well. Sucks that Mattel are now guilty of it too.

Are basic ropes the same height?

The height of the ropes and the plastic turnbuckles (basic rings) was the deal breaker ... and I don't even collect loose. I HAVE setup rings for display, but there's no excuse for the way this was executed.

Hopefully they'll fix it with the $100 Nitro Ring set with the WCW Goldberg.

I love it,rope height is barely noticeable when you actually play with it. Which is what it's meant for..

Which is what it's meant for.. i kiiind of agree, i'll look at the ring from across the room and think man that thing looks awesome and i'll go over to it and mess around with it and have fun and then i'll do something with the figures that reminds me how short the ring is, and i'll think man f*** this ring, but then i keep it because the stupid thing is so close to being perfect

Its a HUGE deal when you look at the price point. At best this ring is $49.99

This single issue is why I won't be getting it
I play with my figures and I hate when ropes are waist height

I think it looks cool and my son LOVES it. He loves posing the figures with the plastic ring post pieces

Rope issue or not, this is the best ring ever made by any wrestling company. Not even an argument.

Is it possible to put the ring posts from the larger REAL SCALE ring on to this ring? Are they similar in design that the posts could be swapped out with taller ones? At this point, definitely not worth $100.

I don't have a dog in this race, but I'm pretty sure this entire thread IS an argument against your position... Saying "No argument" doesn't magically make all the facts (ropes are too short for some tastes) go away. It's like the weirdos who hear a real news story they disagree with and say "fake news". Saying "blue is red" doesn't make it magically true... Just some friendly advice. But it is awesome that you're happy with your purchase. I'll for sure be picking it up once it hits Big Lots in 2019. For $30.

I love his ring and it's only second to the Jakks Hardcore Ring imo.

I was going to buy it until I saw how badly they botched the ropes. I'll wait and get Goldberg later or just completely pass if they choose to not release another. I refuse to buy a botched $100 ring just to get a Goldberg figure.
