I am thinking about getting a Mattel Elite Scale ring and don't know a whole lot about it. I was hoping someone here could tell me a little bit about the pros and cons to it. I have the Real Scale Rings by Jakks and wondered what the similarities are and the differences. Which do you think is better etc. Any help is appreciated!

RSR Pros:
More variety with accessories e.g. cage, hiac, mitb (mattel have said theyre not releasing anything like that for their esr)
Cons:
Ropes will slack over time
ESR Pros:
More stable and professional looking (turnbuckles are plastic but look better than the cloth jakks ones)
Cons:
WAY too big (most if not alot of members on here who have it, have said theyve been shocked by how big the ring is)

I think they look just fine but yeah, it's kinda big. I wish it was 2 inches smaller per side.

Wow I cant believe its that big, my fear was that it would be to small. Is it to big because the Mattel figures are less bulky and not as big as Jakks were or just all around huge scale compared to figures?

I too have been considering gettin the Mattel Elite Scale ring... anyone have photos of a jakks RSR next to the ESR for comparison
And the ropes thing with Jakks is so true... I have a combination of like 3 different ropes from 3 different RSRs to make up 1 set of ropes... its kinda pathetic lol

My first playset review featured the ESR and I included some comparison pics as well. You can check it out here: Setting the Stage: A In-Depth Look at the ESR!Overall, I consider it an improvement over Jakks' RSR because it's sturdier, the ropes are tighter, the ring skirt is realistically attached as a separate piece instead of being merged with the floor mat, and the turnbuckles are easy to remove for added play value. Yes, it's larger than the RSR but not by such a huge amount, really. The only real pro to the RSR is that you can get more accessories, like a Hell-in-the-Cell cage, Money in the Bank scaffolding, Classic Steel Cage, and an Elimination Chamber. The only drawback is that most of those require even more space to display properly! Well, I hope this helps! |

One thing about the sturdiness -- two of the ring apron stretchy-fabric loops (that go under the ringposts) tore on mine the second time I assembled it. So be careful. I have the ring apron sellotaped on right now, waiting for my girlfriend to sew the loops back together.
