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 Goldberg head size isn't as offensive in person. It's a little big but doesn't bother me and I'm a huge head size freak. I like the ring. It's like a kid ring that MDT pumped up. Which is the least I've been asking for so I'll take it

I was thinking of getting this, but after seeing pics showing up here and on Instagram I'll pass. I do want the Goldberg, but I don't like the rope height, the lack of being able to change ring skirts and rope limitations. In fact, the only thing I REALLY like about it is it's size. I think the ASR ring is too big, but I won't be buying this unless I find it for WAAAAAAAY cheaper than what it's selling for.

I wasn't going to get it anyway, but the ring just looks very...cheap? I don't know how to explain it. I just don't see how that ring is worth $80, after you take away Goldberg and his $20 inclusion.

I like how goldberg has a different neck peg system... he can tilt his head back and look straight up... if you look under his chin (inside the head), you see brail-like dots. it's awesome so you can crouch goldberg down and still make him look up
Surprised to see no one mentioning that

After seeing your pics I'm happy I didn't find it today. Not impressed at all. Taking away the ability to customize makes it a step down from the ASR. I did want Goldberg but I'll wait until next year for a single release.
edit: or I'll wait until they end up on clearance

It seems the people who have the biggest problems with the ring & Goldberg are basing it only on pics & videos. I've never understood basing a purchase that way. I'm looking at the figure right now, and have no idea why people think the head is too big.

Do you have a ASR to compare the height with? That bottom rope is the problem. It should probably be a full inch higher.

You're right it's great. It's not a massive change like he can't do a flight pose but ya he definitely has increased movement up there

Like I stated in the other ring topic, the low rope design was probabaly decided for access and playability for kids.

That Goldberg is just too skinny, with a big old mongoloid head.
It really looks like Mattel just slapped it together fast, and stuck him in with this ring as a quick cash grab. And that's not cool at all.
I could be wrong, but it is pretty damn underwhelming.

Pass. Will wait for big lots. 100 is too much for this.

Here it is next to a rsr which I remember being about the same height as the asr New ring top rope comes up a little past the second rope of the rsr. That sucks haha Souring on the ring.....

Thank you for all of the comparison pictures.
I'll probably skip purchasing this. I want Goldberg, but not enough to drop +$100 for him.

Is there a way you could cut a red square Lego into 4 and prop up the corners that way?
