Even though I really want this ring bad, I hope Mattel produces packs that come with difference ring skirts and accessories so we don't have to buy a new ring all the time. I wouldn't mind spending 10 bucks on a pack of ring accessories! Think your sig is big enough?

Wow that ring is amazing, how much did it cost? with overnight shipping and the coupon i had it was $65. It will probably run 50-60 in stores so it wasn't too bad since i won't have to chase it down and i got way before id find it in stores around here more than likely. but if you think of it its quite cheap cause i brought a elimination chamber jakks rsr and it was £100 so i dont know in dollars but i dont use the chamber so its cheap and way more detailed and i really like the idea of removable turnbuckles please can you post a pic of somebody taking off the turnbuckle or somebody holding the turnbuckle pading up please +1 for you kind sir

Thanks for the pics. I'm debating whether to pick this up or make my own ring at a fraction of the price.
I love the removable turnbuckles, but only one set of steel stairs? Boo.

Thanks for posting pics. Mine should arrive next week.
Question: Do you feel that the printed WWE logo on the turnbuckle pads will easily rub/wear off? Also, would you say the turnbuckle pads are a soft rubbery plastic, or hard platics that will crack?

I honestly thought the RSR was a little too big, so if this is even bigger than that, plus the fact Mattel figures are a little smaller than Jakks, I dunno about picking this up. Thank you so much for all the pics and info, it's been really helpful and fun to read.

WOW. My Jakks RSR is coming in the mail. Now I wanna sell that one and get this cause it looks great!!! I was expecting a bigger basic ring with mats but this is a lot better then that! Love the new turnbuckle design looks easy to build. I may have to pick this one up!. Thanks for the pics. And I didn't know Smackdown! was going to SyFy.

Thanks a bundle for the pics. Lots to like about this ring like removable turnbuckles. Also like they havent used crappy peeling off stickers for the logo which dont stick to fabric well. Im glad the ringposts are silver (half of them) and you get steps. Another big improvement is the ringskirt holder, looks like the ring as customisation potential, looks good. The things im not liking are half silver posts, that they are plastic (but its fine since they are apparently strong) and the chunky clips on the turnbuckle pads. Overall, its a pretty good ring, surprised its that massive, thought it would be smaller than the RSR if anything. I probably wont be getting it, as thought intially because of space issues but never say never.

Thanks for the pics. The ring looks great. Sad that I don't have any space for it.

Kollector King, in your opinion is the ring too big for the smaller Mattel figures? You've got your loose Mattel roster in it and they don't even take up half the space in the ring! I like enough room for suplexes etc. but does this ring feel too big?

I don't understand this "too big" nonsense. The ring is scaled to the figures (that's why it's got the word scale in the name, maybe?). The figures are on average about 7" and the ring is 23". In real life, the WWE ring is 20 x 20 and wrestlers are on average about 6'2. It sounds just about right to me. The length of each side of the ring is just over 3 times the height of the average wrestler, both in this toy ring and in the real WWE rings.

Thanks for the pics that Ring looks fantastic mattel are truley awesome I will definetley get this And just a simple question are the mattel ringposts bigger or smaller than the jakks one They are bigger but are also plastic instead of diecast. I think ill stick with my jakks rsr unless it falls through then ill end up getting that You said u had all 5 jakks rsrs, would you be able to take a pic of the mattel ring with the wm2 cage on it and maybe one of the mattel ring in the jakks hiac Ill see what i can do later when i get home i know i can try the cage but the cell i have boxed up so i won't be able to do that one. Thanks for posting pics. Mine should arrive next week. Question: Do you feel that the printed WWE logo on the turnbuckle pads will easily rub/wear off? Also, would you say the turnbuckle pads are a soft rubbery plastic, or hard platics that will crack? The logo shouldn't rub off but im not sure if it would after extensive play but it looks printed on pretty good. Also the turnbuckle is a soft rubbery plastic and should have no problems with cracking. Kollector King, in your opinion is the ring too big for the smaller Mattel figures? You've got your loose Mattel roster in it and they don't even take up half the space in the ring! I like enough room for suplexes etc. but does this ring feel too big? It is quite large but i think over all it works great for the mattel figures as it is scaled to them. I think it is a nice ring and has plenty of space for suplexs, 10 Man Tags, Royal Rumbles, Battle Royals, Tables Matches, and anything you can think of.

The length of each side of the ring is just over 3 times the height of the average wrestler, both in this toy ring and in the real WWE rings. Okay first of all dude, it has been confirmed that the ring is actually 23" x 23" not 22" x 22" like Jakks RSR. Secondly Mattel figures are smaller in size on average to Jakks figures so my question was very legitimate. If you've got shelving or space on a table-top somewhere in your house that's at least 24" wide then that's great for you. I'm concerned about storage and thus far it looks like it's going right under the bed for me. Thanks for the extra insight about the size of the ring Kollecting King, it's definitely informing my decision-making process.

Looks like a decent ring. Still not a fan of the turnbuckles. Does Jakks figures fit well in it?
