That is not a bad idea
Some discoloration on mine too. Maybe a little less extreme. Can see it's now much closer to the belt material's color lower down.
what a strange thing to have happen.
We need to cease talking about this stat or Hot Toys will start charging extra for their patented delayed weathering effect.

The same way they might charge us for decaying pleather...

Doesn't even make sense for fabric to change color. It's not like something you constantly wash and it's fading. Even if it was in direct sunlight, colors fade not darken or change color.
This is truly an odd one.
Meanwhile, my Hasbro Biker Scout with speederbike set from 20+ years ago is as white as the day I bought it. Maybe I should swap the pouches...

Doesn't that have some vinyl pouches? IIRC that is what mine had. No pleather there, no decay.Doesn't even make sense for fabric to change color. It's not like something you constantly wash and it's fading. Even if it was in direct sunlight, colors fade not darken or change color.

Mine is still sealed (lol).
But
Are they double thick? As in it's two layers of fabric glued together and then stitched to shape?
But
Good thinking. This is the best theory I can think of, but it doesn't explain why all of it is changing. I'd think it'd be more splotchy if it was the foam as it couldn't be in contact with all the spots at once.

Mine has darkened slightly as well. I noticed it about 2 or 3 months ago.

I was just browsing HT SW on eBay and from a listing I saw, it looks like the ESB Snowtrooper trousers are also suffering the same fate.
Mine have been boxed up for a bit...gonna hafta check when I get home today.

These were the pictures I noticed it on:
Could of course just be the lighting and I don’t have this figure to check but made me curious based on the scout issue.

No problem. They can double up as Desert Troopers.
They were only trained to avoid the yellow snow.The Snowies got their brown pants on...
No one told them about the brown snow....

Just a little freaky
I just noticed the discoloration on my figure. It has darkened in color and has yellowish spots on the packs. It’s frustrating that it’s happening to a figure with no direct sunlight and in a climate controlled area. Glad to know I’m not the only one.
