| ltrain's Full Review: WWF Attitude Wrestling Ring |
Many people buy a herd of WWF Jakks action figures and then they realize...you need a ring to have wrestling matches! That's where this item comes in.
What is it?:
This is a replica of the World Wrestling Federation ring that is designed for figures 6 inches tall or so. It has the springy ropes and hard mat much like the real ring.
Is it the right size?
My biggest flaw with this ring is the size. As you can see by watching the television program, the top rope is normally as high as most characters shoulders. On this ring it's not unusual to find that it is over the head of the wrestler!
Also, this ring isn't wide enough to do "long" moves like a suplex without manipulating the figures. That leads me to believe this isn't proportioned to the real ring, it's just a square with some plastic turnbuckles.
What do you mean, carrying case?
For kids on the move (going to Grandma's!) this ring does have some additional features. The mat is hinged so that you can open it and store your turnbuckles, ropes, about four wrestlers, and some weapons inside the ring.
Once your items are inside you can fold the handle up and carry this item much like a briefcase. That way the child has everything he/she needs in one neat little package.
Is it durable?
This ring will last for many matches. The ropes don't have a tendancy to break (But they will stretch which causes them to be less springy) and the turnbuckles hold the pressure of the ropes without deforming.
The paint and stickers stay on this ring very well. Even extended play doesn't seem to harm these features.
Is it accurate?
Not really. It doesn't look exactly like the ring you will see on RAW or Smackdown but it is clearly a WWF ring and a close enough likeness that most children will not notice.
Overall:
This is a middle of the road toy. Older children won't like it (they notice the inaccuracies) but younger children should think it is just fine.
