So I have a jakks ring and i've had it since the christmas of grade 4 and I just finished grade 11 the turnbuckles are starting to fold in and it really makes me hate putting wrestlers in, yes i'm 17 and I still play with them. I also am setting myself up a arena soon for displays, anyways I can't afford a mattel real scale ring, are the plain mattel ones good? are they bigger or smaller than a jakks ring, just some questions about the basic rings and what one is the best to get?
Thanks guys it would mean alot!

I'm not gonna judge you for playing with your figures. Lord knows I've caught myself doing it.
The Mattel rings IMO hold up better than the Jakks rings, they're good for basic display of your figures and the turnbuckles won't cave in.

I honestly prefer the Jakks real scale ring. The posts are real solid metal. The ring is smaller but more in scale than the Mattel version. If your turnbuckles are caving in, you can always fix it by getting new ones on ebay. Or you can get new custom ropes, posts, and other parts for it from the member on here who sells amazing parts for both the jakks and mattel versions. Google ring skirts and its the first one that comes up.
The basic rings are cheap and flimsy. As long as you have the base of your current ring, you can always fix it up to your liking without breaking the bank on Ebay for crazy scalper prices. Just my opinion though.

Think you could modify your current JAKKS (Hardcore?) Ring with Mattel Basic ring post's? The Mattel Ring posts (Elite or Basic) are MUCH more Sturdy & the ropes are a lot tighter as-well, Mattel Basic rings downfall is how damn small they are. Maybe even try making your own ring?

I'm 26 and still "wrestle" with my action figures.....that's why we buy em ain't it??
And for a ring any of the scaled rings work great but if you don't have the cash for them then I would suggest another Jakks ring. I'm not the biggest fan of Mattels basic rings or playset rings but the Elite Dcale Rung is awesome as is Jakks Real Scale Ring, even if the post tend to bend a bit.

 Here is a pic of my Jakks real scale ring with custom touches. The only thing Mattel are the turnbuckles that I got from the actual Mattel store. You can see for reference that its quite sturdy. |

The Elite Scale ring is the best of course, but yeah, pretty much impossible to come by for a regular price. I'd say after that, one of the bigger Jakks rings is your best bet -- if not the "Real" Scale one, then the next size down are okay. They came with some playsets (TLC Raw Arena, Punjabi Prison, Money in the Bank etc). The playsets tend to be quite expensive, but you can probably find the rings on Ebay quite cheap. They're bigger than the spring rings and they have a light blue mat rather than white. Here is a pic of my Jakks real scale ring with custom touches. The only thing Mattel are the turnbuckles that I got from the actual Mattel store. You can see for reference that its quite sturdy. That looks great! What's the formula for that custom cameraman? Looks like Austin legs, Cena shoes. |

I have another camera man and a custom referee as well, I use guys that are not on the current roster. And I put a black or gray t-shirt on them =-) |

They're bigger than the spring rings and they have a light blue mat rather than white. I own one of the playsets that had that particular ring,"The Cell". The ring is quite good if you can't find a Real Scale or Elite Scale Ring. But from personal experience, the post that come with the ring will eventually start to bend forward, which is one of the problems that OP addressed with his JAKKS ring. The Mattel basic ring is quite small, a little bit smaller than the Stunt Action ring, but the material is much stronger than the material for the JAKKS ring. Since OP mentioned setting up an arena, I would recommend that he consider the original Ringside Battle Playset, which came with the Mattel basic ring, announcer's table, the barricades, ring bell, steel chair, stop sign, and other weapons. However, the price for it may be steep for a basic ring; Amazon has one of $70. |

IMO the mattel bassic rings are quite small for the figures but the construction seems quite nice.
