Hi, I just got the eastern dragon ring from noble collection, very nice. And sorry, but I can't post pictures because I ordered a size too big so it's being returned. What I was wondering was why the purple helenistic ring isn't gold? Wasn't it gold in the movie? I'm just curious because it wouldn't be hard for them to plate it gold, and it would be more accurate if they did. Anyway, I think I'll buy the skull ring from them, or maybe the helenistic one, so I'll post pictures when they all get here. And I know that this has been discussed, but I don't think that the subject of the accuracy has really been talked about.
 
Yeah, the amethyst ring is supposed to be gold.
And, in most of DMC, that Dragon ring has a greenish black tarnish looking color with a bit of brass showing on the egdes from wear.
The story behind it, is that its one of Johnny Depp's rings and he wanted to use it for the movie. :lol
Same for the Skull ring, only they give a bit more detail, saying that he picked it up from a pawn shop in the late 80's.
They're both found objects, so I kind of wondered why there was so little in the way of info here. :confused
 
I've been considering getting a set of rings from them too... I also wondered about the purple ring. Although I do have the kids play ring and its' quite acurate with a couple simple mods... lol.
 
i was going to buy a set from noble too, only the floral ring seems to be accurate, the purple ring is suppose to be gold, the the dragon ring, the outline of the dragon is suppose to be black/brownish worn out look.


I think MR is going to release these rings soon, similiar to the skull ring they released last year for like $15 or so
 
Well if it's anything like the skull ring they did, I know I won't be intrested. It'd be nice to have a decent replica for under $30 though.
 
I don't mind the fact that they're slightly inacurate in the color department, but when you factor the price into it...then I mind. I do like the fact that they offer different sizes though. Ive thought about buying the Dragon Ring, but I'm going to wait and see what MR does with it.
 
I personally just really liked the design of the dragon ring, that's why I got it. It is really very nice. I hadn't seen any Noble Collection products in person until now, but I'm really blown away. When I get the right size, I'll post pictures, because you really can't see all the detail on the website. I like the flower ring too, I think I'll get one.
 
I received the NOBLE SKULL RING and the EASTERN DRAGON RING -- sent Dragon back because I, too, ordered a size to large, so waiting for them to send me a smaller size. Sent SKULL back in exchange for the purple stone ring.

Here's my take on the rings.

For ACCURACY, the DISNEY SKULL ring (available from Disney Soda Fountain STore and I think Disney World and DIsney Land) is one of the best, but it isn't real silver, so the plating is likely to eventually wear off, but for $20 (retail) to $35 (ebay), they are not a bad deal -- only drawback is they don't come larger than size 12.

If you are looking for something that matches the screen-used ring, the NOBLE Skull ring is way off -- the details on the ring are not quite right and the stone is not flat-cut on top but more pointed -- there is TONS of reference - all they had to do was look at the Dinsey ring for crying out loud. Had they taken the DIsney ring and duplicated it in silver, I would have kept it -- I have absolutely NO IDEA why they made subtle changes in the ring design itself and especially on the stone cut -- weird. So I sent it back to exchange for purple stone ring - yes, I know it should be gold, but at least it looks more like the actual screen-used ring.

The Dragon ring is too clean looking -- it is bright silver from Noble and screen used ring was dirty bronze or brass or gold...but it is a cool looking ring, so I decided to keep it.

Haven't ordered flower ring yet -- it looks pretty good -- I think it may be the closest to screen-used as far as look goes, but for some reason, I don't see wearing that particular ring as often -0- I do wear them to work, but usually only one at a time, and the flower one doesn't seem to work well unless you are decked out in full Jack Sparrow costume. Savvy?

The pictures on NOBLE web site are exactly what you get -- but I'll try to post pics of the other versions of the SKULL ring so you can see the difference. I MAY have a SMithCamero Skull ring SIze 13 that I might let go as I just picked up another custom one on ebay that I liked. I'll post pictures of both -- maybe by this weekend if anybody is interested in seeing what else is out there that is fan-made.

SOme things I get anal-retentive on for accuracy, and Skull ring is one of them -- I hadn't heard about MR doing a line of rings...maybe I should have waited on t he NOBLE ones.

Anyways, my 2 cents. I will say that the presentation boxes Noble includes with the rings are very nice...just wish they would pay more attentiond to design details and make rings that look like their on-screen counterparts.
