Your poses (the camera angles) need work, but this set is absolutely incredible. Can you tell me what's hanging from your roof? Its my basement. SO pipes, and stuff that i hang from them for different arenas. Blue curtain, flags, banners, lighting, ladder match stuff, etc.

These belts aren't too bad. I actually like the concept behind the "TV Championship." I highly doubt Mattel will ever allow spam to sell just belts, but I do like the fact that they do have the Jakks ones, and I just ordered a set of Toy Biz TNA/NWA belts earlier this week. BTW, I notice you mentioned in your review that the old school crowd control barriers are too small. Are they at least as tall as the barriers that came with the Mattel Ringside Battle Playset? I want to start working on an old school display and I thought about ordering a bunch of these to go around my Classic RSR. I believe they are tall enough but not long enough. Also they fall down easily unless you modify them.

Not saying this thread doesn't belong here, but aren't these belts actually made by Jakks, not spam? I know spam is the only place you can get them, but the straps are pretty obviously made by Jakks and the plates are done in a style that Jakks would do. I don't think they are released by Jakks. Just posed here as i saw someone asking if they fit on Mattel and someone replied that they don't Wanted to share pics to show they aren't too bad on Matty figs.

nice review, couple of follow-up questions though: Has spam every done the real classic looks? Like the WCW Championship introduced in late '91 or the US or TV titles used in the late 80s? Is it possible to switch plates onto Mattel straps? And if so, any Mattel straps you'd recommend to hold certain plate shapes? Not that i am aware of. I don't think they legally can. They do however sell NWA and WWE belts that were released in the past (Jakks and Toy biz belts). All of these plates are the same. You may be able to fit them on other Jakks belts but They would probably stretch or rip Mattel straps.

Hi WF As you may remember my old photo hosting site folded and i lost many of my set up images. So over the next months I am working on taking pics of my set ups and sharing them again for the WF community. This month it's NWA with corny wrestling magazine style captions. Jack Brisco locks it in on Terry Funk Piper introduces the Hammer to the steps Piper chokes Valentine out with the camera cable The American Dream delivers a vicious elbow. Funk piledrives Flair on the table! The Road Warriors personify intimidation. Knife edge chop by the Nature Boy Stinger SPlash! Flair gets caught upstairs. Sting tastes the rail. I know many have inquired about my guard rails. Here is a pic. It is gondola shelving brackets (much like you see in store endcaps) with spring loaded clips from home depot. Brackets can be purchased here : www.mfried.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=gondola+fencing It is called gondola fencing. And a behind the scenes look at my Wrestling Cave: Let me know your thoughts. And if you like these pics check out my entire collection: sites.google.com/site/ringskirts/ringskirtphotoalbum

Hey guys. I saw a post a week or so ago asking what the spam figure belts are like that they offer and how they fit with Mattels. Well i got a batch of these for Christmas and decided to show some pics on both Jakks and Mattel figs and do a review on my thoughts of the belts. I take a look at the: TV, Intercontinental, SOuthern States, NOrtheast, WOrld, Cage, Six man tag, and US belts. Let me know your thoughts: sites.google.com/site/ringskirts/reviews

I would love this. Hopefully Mattel is open minded and gives this anotehr chance down the road. I think for more success they should mix up the line to be split between old school guys that the classic collectors like me will chomp at and current guys as past gimmicks or attires. Perhaps this would create more crossover.
All debating aside I really hope we get more old school even though it will make me poorer. I miss the days of Classic Superstars. The news of signings, the hunt, the chase.

I agree that it is too big. The Jakks RSR was perfect as far as size goes if you ask me. Of course the esr is miles ahead of the basic rings.

Yes this was the first used for WWF LJN Bendies. It was later used for a boot legged ring in the mid 90's superstar broadcast wrestling ring. SO it's interesting that it has been used by WWF, WCW, WWE, and non brand.

Well technically the Brown mankind was also done by jakks bca, and bendems. But i agree. In the newer figure lines this version is often over looked. Would love a more articulated version of the deranged one.

thanks to all for the comments - had a look on naparos website and will definately order a custom one (just need to decide which). Naparo - while you are here can you tell me wether you sell the ring canvas and skirts sewn together (ie: as per the real scale ring original) as i would like to do a complete swap? Cheers I make them as 2 seperate items much like a real ring. So i make a canvas like with the elimination chamber RSR and seperate ring skirts.

do you only make them for the RSR? As I use the old Hardcore ring and would like to add some new skirts for that. Yeah i can make them any size. Just need to tell me the measurments you want before ordering. If you have questions send me an email ringskirts@gmail.com

You can proably get a good price lotting out the MVA set loose for parts. I know the baracades it came with used to fetch a pretty peny on the bay
