I'm assuming these are 1/35 scale and not 1/48.. but I can't tell for sure. They're a nice addition anyway

Good find, Hisham! I remember seeing this one... definitely in 1/35:

Now we only need a reliable source of DToys products... Both HobbyEasy and LuckyModel carry their products, but they restock very rarely, so they still didn't have CV9040B set that I want to buy... One Korean online shop that always has latest DToys products does not sell to other countries...

Nope, that is a new figure by Legend. It does look nice though.

Right, thanks for the reminder. I like the idea of several Humvee crew sets...

Cheers,

Several crew sets is good, and these figures look nice. But the nearly identical poses is a shame in my book. I'd prefer some variation. These are basically exactly the same as Legends, so i'll either buy one or the other-not both. I personally would like to see a set of earlier crew figures from the start of the Iraq invasion in DCU's. Verlinden and CMK's offerings are shockingly bad, and Nemrod only do two figures in the seated position.

True. They look very similar... I already have Legend's driver and gunner so I suppose I'll get a new Legend figure myself.

As for the next releases, I'd wish for a more SF-ish crew set.

Now some SF crew would be very welcome from me as well! Perhaps as Legends has released the GMV they will do a crew for it. I have been planning to use Kirins old super jeep crew figures and convert them to fit the Humvee, but im reluctant to chop up these super rare figures.

I think those are the CMK figures, and my experience with them is they are absolutely rubbish. All CMK figures suffer from having excessively over the top clothing folds and other details, and they just dont look natural. My figures also had lots of flash and badly sculpted equipment.
