I love my ESR (PIX PIX PIX)

[Deleted]

I ordered my ESR from Amazon and got it yesterday (Tuesday the 24th) and I had to go pick it up from UPS because there's never anyone in the office when I have a package coming, but whatever. I got the ring and put it together and YES it is very big and I guess a little too big for a lot of people but I think its just fine NOT PERFECT but it's a fine size and fits on my squared coffee table just fine because of the thick base post under the ring.

Lets just get to the pix.







Of course my cat has to jump on the ring while I'm trying to put it together, not the first time.


I couldn't just put the canvas on the ring the way it was as it was too wrinkled so I ironed it like I've done with my past RSR's.




I noticed how these clips that are suppose to keep the canvas down were pretty useless besides the little engraved look on them that makes them look like a part of a real ring.


My solution to this of course was DUCKTAPE and guess what it works! GO FIGURE...


This is the only problem I ran into which, as you can see, the elastic breaking on the ring skirt. This was an easy fix as all I had to do was sew it back on. A note of advice, be careful when you stretch the elastic on the ring skirts.


Finished but what you don't see, because I forgot to take pix, is that I put a layer of cardboard under the canvas as a noise reducer. Their wasn't enough thickness in the canvas for me to leave it as is so if I'm messing around with the figures late at night no one can really hear the bumps.


I know you guys have already seen one like this but I might as well show it anyway.


Here are some still shots of my figures in the ring to see how they look inside.
















Hope you all enjoyed!

Nice pictures man.. Can't wait to get mine!

Question.. Do Basic figures fit well in there like the Elites?

[Deleted]

The basics and Elites are the same scales so that doesn't matter, their are some excepts but mattel did mess up on a couple of figures scale but nothing drastic. The only difference is the point of articulation between the Basics and the Elites. Thanx BTW

What An Awesome Ring man
But me ill wait for other releases in the future so i'm gonna skip this one.looks better than Jakks RSR.IMO. Is there even a difference between the two?

All i know is Mattels RSR's Turnbuckles can be removed and Jakks can't in my knowledge.

anyways i still envy that Custom elite benjamin..i would love to have one:P

You should post your whole custom collection in the near future hehe.

Thanks for Sharing Bro.

lol thanx well I actually have posted all my customs on a page already so you can probably just search for them. Their is a lot of differences between the RSR and ESR. On the ESR the post are a thicker and stronger plastic and don't bend inward over time, the base post are thicker, unlike the RSR the ESR has the ropes go on the hooks at the turnbuckle instead of just behind the pad, the ring skirts are all connected together and not to the canvas which was annoying about the RSR. So far that's all I can name but yeah their are a lot of differences between the 2.

HAHA yeah I have too and they were obsessed with going inside the boxes the ring came in and Balls (that's the one in the pix name is) used to sleep in my RSR all the time. When ever I'm in the middle of working on something Balls always has to jump right in the middle of it.

Does your cat ever job?

[Edge618]

Even though its bigger i think its more proportional than Jakks, it doesnt seem as big even though it is for some reason.Maybe its the thicker ring posts or something but i definantly enjoy mine and think its superior to jakks in every way

its Eves Apoxy sculpt and I molded around and tried my best to make it look like a real mask, since it was an Elite I HAD to work on the details best I can

[nicholasj1997]

Nice Pickup mate I really want to get that ESR just one question are the mattel posts as tall or taller than the Jakks one

[madd2k]

Nice receiving, thanks for the pics! I really like the new Ring, but I still don't like the rubber pads.

[mattelyayjakksnay]

Well a lot of people have had trouble with the aprons breaking . Glad to see you had a quick fix. I myself am not to good with a needle and thread so I'm waiting on my wife.
