I'm aware of the 3 variants for the original ring but wanted to know if there was a good way to differentiate them, when MIB? They all seem to have the same artwork... the only difference i've noticed is the white box (Later series??) and the cardboard colored box (original??). Are there other changes?
I had one of the original blue round post rings as a kid but it seems I have misplaced that so i'm trying to replace it. I bout a ring MIB (Dual language) on a white box and although it has the image of the round blue posts I think it may contain the black or blue flat tops (Which I already have) so I would prefer to keep it in box if that's the case. Any way to tell what ring is in the box without opening it up?
Sidebar: Are all 4 rings needed for a full collection? Feel like most collections only feature 3 rings?

I feel a full collection consists of the Blue and KOTR ring only.
But if it makes your collection seem fuller, then have 1 Blue ring with both 4 black posts and 4 blue posts.

There are 5 different rings as follows
Blue ring ( Black round top posts) Blue ring ( Black Square top posts)
Blue ring ( Blue round top posts) Blue ring ( Blue Square top posts)
King of the Ring Yellow ring (Red Square top posts)
Sound box (no on/off button) Sound box (with on/off button)
Have a picture all loose if needed.

There is a blue ring with black round posts? I feel like i've never even seen that one... must be somewhat rare no?
Also, still trying to figure out if there is a way to discern what ring is inside the box without opening it. Are there any distinctions between any of the blue ring boxes that one could use to figure out what's inside.
People seem to claim first edition on certain sites, so I'm wondering how anyone could tell the difference and/or claim a certain ring type?

I can only say that if the box has 4 languages on the back (1991 box), you have black flat top posts with black turnbuckles. If the box is English and reads 1990 it probably has blue posts.

How much is the Blue Ring with Black Round Top posts worth please? There is no set price for any Hasbro item, it's what someone is willing to pay or 2 bidders could both be desperate for the item and raise the price a lot higher than normal. Recently a MOC Sid Justice sold for £92.00 ($122.00) which is mental

Its true, I paid something like £35 for my Black Round Top ring 2 years ago from the US, but they are quite hard to find, and you don't see many of themm but dunno if they are considered a rare Hasbro, maybe they should be the grail or rings as ya more likely to find a KOTR than a black roundup lol

I swear I have never seen the black rounded posts version before. Guess I have a new item to hunt down. I ended up opening my MIB ring only to find Black flattops.... I want all 5 rings!!!

A little off topic, but while talking about rings, anyone ever have luck custom painting a standard blue ring to the yellow and red KOTR version? I want a KOTR version, but don't want to shell out the huge bucks when most of the ones that come up are pretty rough anyway.
