I noticed yours are holstered differently. I had mine where the strap wrapped around the base of the scope - blaster points straight down. I believe if you did that the shear weight of the blaster ruins the thin double layered pleather. I’ll most likely repair/remake my damaged ones at some point.

I would be certainly looking forward to see that.
 
I still hope to find the right material to try that. In my past few hunts for any leather type material thinner than 3-4 mm have come up with zilch. As for now coming up with a fix for this or making belts/bandoliers for other figures is on hold.
 
Somebody had no idea what they were doing.

The guy actually had it mixed in with a bunch of force awakens figures and he claimed he was jus trying to get rid of em all. Glad I looked behind the flame trooper.
Sad thing is, I’m scared to death about the whole Hot Toys deteriorating issues.... you would think as expensive as these damn toys are........
 
How is the pleather problem holding up? Is it spontaneous, or would it be safe to buy a boxed and sealed Trooper? I'm trying to decide whether to buy one of this edition in order to get the Rogue One base or the Mandalorian reissue to accompany Director Krennic.
 
The pleather does not hold up very well -- especially the holster. I have not kept mine in sunlight or humidity high or low, and it is falling apart. I was going to purchase more Death Trooper specialists, but I don't think it will be worth it. Much better to just buy some Mandalorian Death Troopers instead.
