Love that you are shedding light on this ring. I love the real scale rings by Jakks. This was the first one and it was a game changer. I have so many fond memories of this and I also have had no issues with the rings. Interesting enough i still have my original ropes and have sagging of the white one as well.
Do you remember when RSC advertised it? For the longest time it was advertised as a modern Smackdown ring. I was pleasantly surprised (having pre orded it myself ) when it arrived as a classic ring.
I was one of the lucky few whose pre-order for the original Real Scale Ring was selected at random by Ringside Collectibles to receive earlier than scheduled.
That took place roughly 10 years ago this week.![:o](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/shocked.gif)
To commemorate the occasion, I thought I would share all of the photos that I took of my brand new Jakks ring on that day.
Luckily, I never ONCE had an issue with the turnbuckles caving in. Only in recent years have I noticed the ring ropes sagging more than usual (in particular, the middle white rope) when I decide to set it up. I consider myself very fortunate to have avoided many of the issues that plagued others with the initial launch of the RSR.
I used to run my own WWE figure fed in the mid-2000s, and I distinctly remember using this ring for the very first time at my version of WrestleMania 21 on April 17th, 2005. In the main event, Shawn Michaels became my second-ever World Heavyweight Champion when he defeated Triple H in an instant classic. Elsewhere, The Rock retired Stone Cold Steve Austin in a two-out-of-three-falls match, and I inducted all of CS Series 5 (which I received for Easter that year), as well as CS Series 3 Ultimate Warrior, into my version of the Hall of Fame.
The Real Scale Ring V1 was my ring of choice for many years while I still played, and to this day I consider it the best ring that I've ever owned.
So, without further ado, take a trip back in time to April 2005 when my 16-year-old self couldn't have been happier with the ring of my dreams.![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif)
