So they canceled a ring people want and make mini basic rings that are not to scale with any figure and are pointless. Whats going on? Mattel, "Your doing it wrong"!

Meh, I wasn't really big on the ring (space issues). Just give us that Andre and I'll be happy as a clam.

I'm actually glad its cancelled because I really didn't feel like shelling out another 75.00 for a ring, but would hope that Mattel just decides to do expansion packs for the ring, I'd rather pay 20.00 for an expansion pack of classic styled ring aprons and ropes.

I wonder if Mattel will release a legend's basic ring? I know many people aren't fans of the improved SAR but I actually like it. It's a little small but it fit's perfect on the shelf. I think it would be a great display piece none the less and way less expensive to make than the ESR.

After reading about this being cancelled I went and bought the Jakks WM2 ring. Its a shame it got cancelled, but I doubt its anything serious.

it sucks but oh well nice andre figure though They nailed him dead on the first try unlike the other company that took how many trys and never did get it LOL I wouldn't say that is the truth at all. JAKKS did a good job with Andre, especially CS 7. I think Mattel's body was better, but their sculpt was off somehow.

When I first saw it I thought it looked off too but then I realized why. Its because that scan looks exactly like Andre where Jakks looked more like a sculpture of Andre.

I'm sure this was cancelled because of the huge amount of changes that would have been required to make a classic ring. Just think about it...
New ropes. Turn the posts from silver to blue. Repaint turnbuckles.
The costs to do such things would have been astronomical.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not... creating molds, and depending on the price of oil, using plastic to fill those molds is what costs a toy company money. Dyes not so much. They already have the molds for the turn buckles and posts, changing the color is not an astronomical deal. And how costly is the material used to make the ropes really? I don't claim to know or understand Mattel's financial decision-making, but I'm willing to bet the cancellation decision was more affected by the sales of the ESR and the MSRP of a ring WITH a figure than the cost of changing some colors around.

I don't see why some people aren't seeing the dead on likeness to Andre. It is easily the best Andre head ever. The body is just an Elite Big Show, but the head is absolutely perfect. I can see why people don't like the Savage head, but the Andre head really couldn't be any better.
