I was thinking that we need more rings. So how about a build a figure line where the figures accessories were parts of the ring. The idea came from the build n brawl figures.If you got all 4 figures you would get an accessory for the ring like a cell/chamber for a basic ring

I suppose it would. I am not quite sure about it though. Great idea!

This is a terrible idea. How exactly would it work? How would you break down a regular sized ring, ring posts/turnbuckles/ropes, and aprons to fit into a four- or six-person set that retailers would want on their shelves? You can't very well break it down into like a 12-person set, that's just not gonna work.

No it would not and no retailer would take it.
How much do you suppose each figure would be $30-$40? If you don't sell every figure as a complete set, you are stuck with a $30-$40 figure that will never sell by itself. The figures would also take up too much space.

not to build a ring, but to build accessories for a ring is fine.
like the WM28 announce table

It's not a bad idea
Make the set people that we would actually want. Include turnbuckles with one, posts with one, ropes with one, for the ring make it a mail away/redemption coupon? Maybe 2 figs make that up ? Make one fig the actual mat/skirts. Maybe a redemption for that too
That would allow Mattel to give us what we want without the box boxed rings failing at retail again
I don't know exactly but it's not a bad idea

I would love updated ring skirts like Jakks used to do. I thought they were great.

I was hoping this thread would be a picture of John Cena.
If that was the case, the answer is 'no.'

The third, fourth and sixth replies nailed it. It's not even a feasible idea. The Build and Brawl ring was tiny for Build and Brawl figures. A Build a Ring for full-size figures would be, too. It'd be about 2/3 of the size of the basic rings at most, it'd be flat, and nobody wants that.
Building accessories like a table or an interview set is fine. But there's no way they could do build a ring/cage/chamber etc at this price point and size without it being some tiny thing.

I think I might be cool to pack classic ring aprons with figs but not charge anymore for the figs kinda like deluxe classic superstars did. In mattels case they could include them in the heritage line.

Who is the market for buying repaints to build a ring that's 10 x 10? Packing parts to build a new suited figure sells repaints of the same old guys to even hardcore collectors who hate Cena, Big Show, Orton, Del Rio etc. I can't imagine there being many "ugh gotta buy 4 figures I don't want to get that sweet smaller basic ring" posts.
