I just noticed that the harnesses and straps on my Sigma 6 figures have become loose!
The elastic straps on my figures are now became longer and thinner, and since they became loose, they don't "fit" the figures as they should anymore. In other words, now they look better without them, since they became a mess with those loose straps on. The one thing that frustrates me the most is that I don't even do anything harmful with those harnesses; I didn't pull on them or adding some extra stuff that would make them heavier. I just displayed the figures standing up, wearing and holding their own accessories and stuff, and it just happened. Paratrooper Duke is one of my most favorite figures ever, and now I'm not sure what to do with him since the harness that hold all of his accessories and weapons is the one thing that made the figure cool. In my collection, this happened to: - Paratrooper Duke harness and thigh straps - Paratrooper Duke assault rifle's strap - Snake Eyes v1 harness - Snake Eyes v1 dagger sheath's strap - Zartan v1 quiver's strap (not as bad as the others but it did turn loose and the quiver is sliding lower on his back) I wonder if this happened to the other Sigma 6 collectors as well?

Their elastic bands, the rubber threads wear out.

I've had a couple do this, mainly Scuba Duke, but most of mine have remained pretty tight. Sadly, there's not a lot you can do, except buy some elasticated material and replace it all. Bit of a ball ache, but worth it in the long run!

Yeah, I know. I just thought that even if they're not necessary made to survive rough child play, they should have enough durability to at least survive being harmlessly displayed.
Or Hot Toys? I've been wondering the same thing.
