Does anybody know what the quality of these figures is?

I don't have that one, but I have MM161 German Grenadiers. They are in a dark green plastic and the detail is OK, but not great. The sprues are both marked "1975" for a production date. They're still in the sealed bags, so I can't say for certain how soft the plastic is. They aren't much worse than the ones from the mid 1980s really...

Eh, it's not bad. Detail is a little soft, but they can be made to look pretty good. There are certainly better figs out there.

I'm looking for a crew, with driver at his station, for a panzer iv. So far, the only set I have found is the Tamiya one.

Thanks Mike. The only set that has the driver at his station is the Marder crew. I need the figure to look like he is driving.

Think I will go with MiniArt German artillery crew riders for the driver and use some spares for the rest of the crew.
