I'm thinking about collecting some Build n Brawl figures again as I remember enjoying them back when they came out. The only thing I am wondering is what I should use for accessories that will scale well with them. Things of interest in particular includes:
- Wrestling Ring (The actual Build n Brawl ones are too small and are just a flat square. I was thinking of using something like an OSFTM ring with Build n Brawl ring posts if it were possible as the edges look short enough to scale well with the figures)
- Guard Rails (Not too sure about this one, but I'm sure any generic ones would work in theory)
- Weapons (Aside from the few that came with these figures; all I can think of are those Wrestling Federation bootlegs)
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Ring - there was a Build & Brawl ring released that was bigger than the one that came in parts with the figures. I think it was a TRU exclusive and came with HHH & Randy Orton. However, it’s still flat like the build-a-ring. wrestlingfiguredatabase.com/products/buildnbrawl-ring The best ring I found for Build & Brawl scale was the WWE Jakks Havoc Unleashed ring. However, the corner posts suck compared to the actual BnB ones. The best solution would probably be to make a ring if you’re that way inclined. Guardrails - this should probably be the easiest thing to find, as companies sell fencing/guardrails for toys like GI Joe, or farmyard sets in various scales. With a good look on eBay you’ll probably find something that’ll do. Weapons - never been anything perfect, but there is a bunch of stuff. Ladders from the late nineties Jakks mini-rings work well enough, as do at least some ladders from WCW Toybiz. GI Joe accessories will all be scaled right but most of them won’t be relevant to wrestling. The new WWE Knuckle Crunchers like by Mattel is worth looking into - the figures are slightly shorter than BnB but quite a bit bulkier, so the weapons scale okay lookswise, but they are a bit too thick for the BnB hands to grip. |

Thank you for the suggestions. My father actually took one of the tiny rings you build in a set and screwed the fourths between wooden boards to extend it years ago. I might have to dig it out one day. |
