The last thing I need is another Real Scale Ring. I can't remember if I got the one with Goldberg or Jinder, but I got one. I had to buy a Home Depot XL Moving Box just to store it because it was the only crate/box large enough. And now, I going to buy another one. I'm a sucker for Ultimate figs, and that Ripley is the best version of her to date. I have to pull the trigger, I guess. I could wait to buy her separately on the secondary market, but who knows how much I'd actually save, not to mention I want to make sure I secure one. Man, they got me.

Goldberg was Raw and Jinder was Smackdown. Those LED rings can be disassembled, you know. I’ve got 3 of them. They’ve all been disassembled repeatedly.

I'd have to pull it out of storage. Yes, they can disassembled, but it's a pain, and still cumbersome and large nonetheless. Not to mention, if you have one, what's the point of owning another RSR? Still, I want that Ripley. I guess it's the plight of being a collector... |

I refuse to pay that much for a ring that I will never use for a great figure. I did it with AEW and Aubrey but least they never gave us that figure again but we all know Mattel will give us this Rhea repainted down the line. Playing the long game and her elite will hold it down till then.

I had to do my best to repaint the white stripes to make her look like she hadn't gotten mustard all over her shirt. |

The first run of her was yellowed, they’d allow you to exchange her with proof of purchase but wanted you to ship your defected figure to them first and I was paranoid about the USPS losing mine so I passed. Think the second run they corrected it but yeah bummer to pay a premium for a flawed figure |

Still, I want that Ripley. I guess it's the plight of being a collector... The ring you have isn’t scale. The width is perfect, but the height is the same as or close to the basic ring. From the floor to the top of the apron is too short and from the ring mat to the top of the post is too short. The new Ultimate rings are pretty spot on in terms of scale. They definitely take up more space. I’m a ring freak and have a ton of scale rings. The Ultimates are my favorite after the Jakks scale rings. |

And considering that $140 ring with Rhea is the #5 best-seller on all of Ringside, I am sure you are not the only one!

I want the Ripley figure, but I'm going to wait until it's closer to release if still available. I don't feel like having $150 on a figure I won't see until late Jan. |

If you can find one, the Walmart Ruthless Aggression Eric Bischoff makes a good stand in for 1998. If you have a spare X-Pac 2002, you could put the sleeveless nwo shirt on Eric. |

Also, despite my prior comment I did give in and order this. I cherry pick only a few figs most of the year but these deluxe sets w exclusive figs and first time rings I’m always a sucker for. |
