Good grief....those figures look terrible. With so many excellent sculpts available from manufacturers like Alpine, Evolution, Stalingrad, and many more they really need to up their game. These look half finished diy modeller efforts from chopping up plastic figures rather than something from a long standing company. Detail is clumsy, half finished and poorly executed.

Agreed. Some of CMKs offerings were OK, but these indeed feel like half finished sculpts.

I agree too, they look like they've been primed with a whole can each.

You have to take scale into account, as they look much bigger on those pics... They are 1/48 and the worse looking are 1/72 but much blown up! They have done many mediocre figures, but I bought recently three Hetzer crew figures from CMK in 1/35 and they're as good as the best around.
