I'm probably going to buy this one soon. I'm kind of spergy about keeping separate the characters of different periods, otherwise it's "video game wrestling," as if Texas Tornado versus Kevin Nash of the nWo period makes any dimensional sense other than to squash him in 3 minutes. Different eras, ages, move sets, aesthetics. I'm only confused about Jakks (real scale, I think), Mattel authentic, Wicked classic. I got the cage for the Wicked Toys one that took me forever to figure out. Would that cage fit this in the New Generation ring? I bought that one recently but it has yet to arrive. I looked at the pictures of the Jakks Hell in a Cell. How were people supposed to play with that? Seems like it was only for display, which wouldn't surprise me since Jakks seemed to have the worst QC imaginable I’m with you. As a child, I would’ve loved to have the NWO invade WWF and attack DX and Bret Hart join the Corporation. As a deranged adult I’m like, “That’s not the way it happened! Everything has to be separate!” and thus no fun is allowed to be had and imaginations must be kept running mild. As for the rings, this is where I get real spergy. So, the Jakks Real Scale Ring (RSR) measures at 20”x20” roughly. There are advertising posters that claim it’s 22”x22”, but it is not. I measured mine and it’s 20x20. Chalk it up to classic Jakks marketing being misleading about the final product. When Mattel took over the license they released the WWE Raw Elite Scale Ring (ESR). This was the only one Mattel released. It measures at roughly 22.5”x22.5”. Years later, the company Wicked Cool Toys released the Authentic Scale Ring (ASR) which used the same molds that Mattel had made for their scale ring. There are slight variations between the posts, but they’re mostly the same. And then Wicked Cool Toys released a bunch of Authentic Scale Rings and accessories. Then Mattel released the Main Event Ring which is the light-up modern ring and measures at 20”x20”, but it’s height is too short so it’s not properly scaled to figure height. And now we have the New Gen/Attitude Era Ultimate Scale Ring that measures at I think 21.5”x21.5”. I personally think these new scale rings are the best ones yet. But the Authentic Scale Ring steel cage you got will sadly not fit on these new rings. They’re an inch too big. Wow!!!! Thank you for that breakdown. I was confused for weeks, then ordered the page for whatever it was ($200), only to not get the ring. I was like "What? Who sells the cage but not the ring?" Then it was a question of getting the right ring mat (gray-blue like in the 80's). Found a seller who never responded after 2 weeks. That was $350. Got the refund, then finally got the other one. Thought then about joining the forum because it was really confusing. Then I saw these dumb Target rings that didn't look much bigger than 5 or 6 Mattel wrestlers. They made a WCW ring, but why get that if they can't fit many guys, even if the WCW ring was smaller and shorter than the WWF one (WCW guys were smaller and shorter in general, so a smaller ring made them look bigger than they were) I'm guessing the Hell in a Cell wouldn't fit the Wicked Toys Ring or even the New Generation one. It looked TIGHT even for the Jakks ring, which, as you said, was only 20 x 20 Guess I'll keep both rings since the cage can't be converted without a hack. I could swap out the aprons That's all an abstraction anyway. These figures are HUGE compared to the Hasbros and messing with them just hurts my back tbh, being about 40. I can't really see myself messing with this stuff (for now). Not really sure why I buy this stuff except for characters like Elizabeth, Macho King, Colonel Mustafa, Ultimate Warrior, Brother Love & Undertaker, Jesse Ventura as commentator (GOAT), Powers of Pain, Demolition, Toto's Africa-inspired Akeem, that loser Red Rooster, Acolytes, now Faarooq Asad (looked like Bombaata with that trailer trash chick Sunny playing a post-virginity Princess Jehnna turned Byzantine harlot 🤣) It's an amusing variety show with something for everyone. Rooster is my Kenny from South Park of the Golden Era whose skull gets spike piledriven into the mat when I need heat on a heel, since he's too cute to be a credible wrestler. No grit!! |

Mattel, go ahead and throw our Ultimate Cody Rhodes in with the ring set. (I know they're not reading this, just wishful thinking over here)

As previously mentioned, I don’t need the ring but I do need me an Ultimate Kurt. That or 2018 NXT Takeover New Orleans with Gargano. That one will never happen but I can dream. |

Let's try to keep this on topic please. Thanks I am going to reiterate this and add to it the following... Please note the thread title "Attitude Era ring & Kane shipping". This thread has nothing to do with AEW or WWE wrestlers or the wrestling companies. In fact this board is "Wrestling FIGURE Talk Mattel/WWE". We have specific boards for pro-wrestler/wrestling company discussion. Here are the direct link to help those of you who do not understand how to navigate to them: Pro-Wrestling WWE: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/board/31/pro-wrestling-wwePro Wrestling AEW: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/board/72/pro-wrestling-aewStay on topic or stay out. Very simple. Thank you! JS |
