Next, for your viewing pleasure, we have some new items from Hole In The Ground Productions. We have featured multiple items from this store in the past. We always look forward to their new offerings and their latest releases sure don't disappoint!

Archway

This archway matches the height of their other wall panels and 7.5" wide. It is 1/4" thick and not free standing.

$15

Starship Doorway

The Starship Doorway is the same width as the Starship (center column) wall. The doorway comes with decals.

The Starship door is made to fit on the doorway. It does not rest on the same level so it must be glued into place.

If you want to use the doorway at the end of a corridor, it would make the corridor narrow, so for a wider corridor, they have wall extensions.

$15 Doorway

$6 Starship Door

$5 Wall Extensions

Debris piece

This construct can be used for almost anything. (perhaps a stadium for a flea circus!) Unlike their other kits that are resin cast, this item includes two pieces of cut PVC tube and a series of precision cut interlocking plastic parts. The assembled part is 4.5" diameter and 1.5" tall.

$20

CLONE WARS "MAUL SUPER COMMANDO" created by Darth Daddy

This action figure was created for an action figure swap with a friend that you all may know as Star Wars customizer TheRealMarch4th.  We already had a version of the character in our own collection that was created by Peak-OB1 Custom Creations.

The figure was mainly a repaint of the Clone Wars Death Watch action figure with an addition of horns and spikes fabricated from some old rubber Jedi robes that could absorb impact if the figure was ever dropped to keep the embellishments intact.

We really liked the way the figure came out!

STAN ADDED TO "CUSTOMS I WISH I OWNED"

Stan has done something that we have been wanting to accomplish for a long time, fill in a Mos Eisley Cantina and Jabba Palace display with many of the unreleased characters that were never turned into action figures. He even took some of the characters that had been released and improved upon them by adding articulation and more screen accuracy.  We have been slowing adding some of these figures to our collection and hope to fill in our shelves as well as Stan has with his collection.

We had the pleasure of becoming friends with this Star Wars custom action figure artist earlier this year and we are really impressed with his creations. Recently, he started making some head casts of some of his original sculpts and sent some samples to some of us in the customizing community.  We were big fans of the Tzizvvt and Atheloe head sculpts that we received, and we highly recommend following this artist's work as he continues to create his noteworthy contributions!
