Woooo I found my old Jakks Monster Ring!

Is that about the same size as a JAKKS Real Scaled Ring?

i had both the black (raw is war) version and the traditional one in the pic.
was molded from the ljn ring from the 80's

I still have mine (minus 1 turnbuckle) in pretty good shape. Great matches I had back in 1996!

I used to have that but the ropes got shitty. It was really big and I was happy with it...but then my lovely mother threw it out when I was ten and I've been stuck with a spring ring ever since.

I still have mine. I had the black raw is war ring. I got it for my birthday one year from my grandma. I remember she ordered it through a JCpenny catalogue and it came with a Stone Cold and Undertaker figure as well, plus a couple of these stupid catapult things that you were supposed to set the figures on and it flung them into the ring.

I had the Raw Is War ring but I think I gave it away Regret it now, nice find though ;D,

I miss those days, had some great royal rumbles.

Congrats on the find.

I had both earlier versions as a kid and eventually got rid of them when they were no longer in playing shape. The regular Jakks Monster Ring had a huge crack through the center of the ring and the Raw Is War Monster Ring had been customized so much that it hardly looked like the original.

I went several years without owning one, but I bought both versions mint in their boxes in the last year or two and opened them to put together and display.

I posted loose pics of both rings on the Loose Jakks Database forums; here are the links:

It is definitely my second favorite ring behind the Real Scale Ring, but I have way more memories playing with my old Monster Rings than anything else. Battle royals with my friends were the best, even though the scale was completely off for BCA figures (again, because it was an LJN repaint).

Current Jakks DA figures don't look too bad in them.

Also, there was at least one other repaint (or, rather, version with different stickers) of the Monster Ring released years later (2002, I believe) that came in a K-Mart Exclusive "Big & Badd" boxed set with four 12 inch RVD, Chris Jericho, Booker T, and Triple H figures.

chicago,

Thank you so much for providing those links. I haven't seen those boxes since I bought the ring back in 1996. MAJOR nostalgia bomb lol.

Like yourself, I remember having epic matches with elaborate storylines and characters being involved. Jakks usually included a weapon or some sort of accessory with each figure, so by the time I had amassed the collection I have now of BCA's, I had enough accessories to properly create a backstage area, a dressing room with lockers and furniture and many more places backstage or wherever I could come up with an idea for.

I think RA/CS figures are in okay scale with the Monster Ring, but I haven't had the chance to try using any DA figures in it yet so I wouldn't know about those. The BCA figures were clearly too small, as the top rope was over their heads. But at an early age, I never really minded it. It was the best ring available of its time and continued to be IMO until the RSR was released.
