I ordered on amazon awhile back and was shocked to see it was delivered today. I hear all the complaints and agree with them but the total package transcends the short ring posts, seeming overpriced etc. The ropes are cheap. I'm gonna replace with rsc red white and blues ones. The Goldberg figure is ok. It's not great but it's not botched like recent surfer stings I casually measured rope to rope. It's 17.5x17.5 which I love It is possible for Mattel to release taller ring posts which would solve the shortness problem. I want blue ring posts with blue turnbuckles with an old school apron.

Thanks for the pics... I didn't even notice the scale of the ring posts until I saw it mentioned on here... And seeing it now makes it worse How's the lightup feature?

One button on the top of a ringpost controls the post lifts and apron lights. You can set it to flash or stay on permanently until you turn it off

Can you tell us what the ring mat is made of? Is it the same as the real scale ring with that horrible figure slamming sound?

It just looks way too small. Not for me.

If a guy got thrown into the ropes, he would flip over and die. Can you take some more pictures of Goldberg please?

One great thing about the ring post construction--they are so thick, seems like they'll never cave. Here's the bottom:

That Goldberg has one new part and it's a huge head. Goldberg has been signed roughly a year and all they do is put a Goldberg head on a Triple H body and pack it with a horrible ring and sell it for 100 bucks. that.

I never realized how low the ropes are on this ring. That's the final straw on this camel's back. I was on the fence for a few months. No way do i see the value at $100 even $50. I will grab this at Big Lots on clearance for $20 in a year. I feel like that's inevitable.

Theres a plastic piece that pops out to replace ropes. And even if there weren't I could cut and tie. But with the piece you can use the looped and fastened rsc ropes Hmm Appears the Ropes don't look removable so I dont know how you're gonna put those Red White and Blue ropes on unless ya somehow Cut the plastic in the turnbuckles

After seeing those photos I must say that Goldberg is the worst ever WWE Mattel figure. The heads too big and the body looks skinny too which really throws it off.
I will say thought that I like the ring. It's not perfect but the light up feature seems pretty cool.

The DM one had a huge poorly painted head with huge torso and laces boots initially. The green basic is super short with the giant head. The bash at the beach 96 one had an even larger head. Didn't even think that was possible. Get the new toys r is orange one. That ones great
