I’m not sure if this question should be directed at Mattel, RSC or a third party, but I’ll cut right to the point.
One of the things that gives our rings and set ups character are the ring aprons. They are iconic in our memories as setting a time and place for an event, a memory, an impression.
What RSC has is, IMHO, a good start. But there is so much more to do.
Every Wrestlemana but the first had it’s unique apron. We only have 2, 20, and 31 to 33. Can we please have at least 3 to 10? A Dream situation would be the ring aprons for all the Manias, but asking for 30 plus may be excessive.
Royal Rumble and SummerSlam aprons are there, but no Survivor Series or King of the Ring to complete the Big 4 or 5. Love to see that classic PPV era completed.
SNME aprons would be cool too, maybe in a two pack with a Main Event apron for those special taping as well.
Silly as it sounds, I could really go for a classic solid blue apron. WWE used it all the time for house shows and TV tapings, love to see it as I remember it.
I imagine it would late some clearances with the E to do all the logos and iconography, but I promise you - they would sell. Because we all love to remember and set the stage in miniature as we remember being bigger than life.

While I don't disagree, someone from RSC said a while back that the aprons weren't selling as well as they had hoped and nothing additional was planned. I'd love to see Survivor Series and King of the Ring to cover all the major PPV's.

Well, I vote with my dollars. Make and I’ll buy as I can. |

I hope they get to make new aprons I have been getting all of them because they are amazing. I recently got the NXT Upgrade pack and some other skirts that i didn't had

I think Mattel/RSC said they werent selling well so I doubt we'll get any more. Which sucks because Id really like to get an Old School Wrestlemania and Survivor Series to at least fill out the big 4. Maybe even just a generic blue one since that's what was commonly used in the 80s

I’m skeptical on buying anymore of them because they always snap on me since they aren’t sewn correctly. I really like them though.

Are you stretching the aprons over the ring posts as opposed to unplugging the posts and sliding them on? I wish we got a classic SmackDown! ring skirt or a New Generation 3x WWF block logos one. |

i actually just bought the nitro, wcw classic and rumble , raw is war skirts.. really digging these. Id like the see ropes/turnbuckles made. I think they price them too high that's prob why, I wouldn't pay more than 2.99 for a skirt. no more than 5.99 for a mat/skirt.
We used to have a guy who made custom skirts here, but he has disappeared and doesn't come on often anymore. Knupdc or some crap.

I think it was the pricIng. I only bought mine when it was on sale, I believe it was 2.99 or so. For me the turnoff for buying a couple were that if I were to buy one, it would be like $5-6 for shipping then tax which means I would have to buy a couple things in order to save on shipping with future purchases. I know shipping isn't ringsides fault, but I wish something could be done so we could get cheaper shipping or some kind of program like a yearly subscription. On the other hand, I really wish ringside could make some turnbuckles in different colors. The WCW ring looks really bland without its red turnbuckles.

Hard thing about a market - gotta price high enough to make money, low enough to sell. I have no doubt RSC is doing their best, but yeah, during these sales, they are flying off. Ring ropes too. In any case, it’s nice seeing the work of others and seeing others who share the love. Keep our fingers crossed, Buy what becomes available and maybe someday...

Anyhow just have them custom made. |

I am with you I bought just about all of these except the WM 32 ring set, however did they really make a wrestlemania 33 apron? Did I miss something? |

I used to make them a few years ago, but I haven't recently because I don't have my ring up on display. But I just bought the one with Goldberg so maybe I'll start making them up again. Here are some older pics of my custom ones for the elite scale ring...  And jakks real scale ring...  And Mattel basic rings:  Don't mind the mess as these pics are from a few years back |

I think they should do more specific combo packs of the aprons. Make a Mania 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, and the other manias seperate. They could also do a pack of SummerSlam, Mania, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series.
I feel like more people would buy more aprons if they were bundles sensibly vs buying them individually.
