Probably from somebody who’s built the tank but not used them?

They are Hobby Boss figures. #84409. The figure with the machine pistol has a helmet included as optional. The figures aren’t made by Tamiya.
P.S, I read one of the reviews online when the kit first came out before I bought it. Thats how I know. The figures are still avaliable online for sale.

No, they are not. Look similar but the Tamiya crew is all new.

Yes, they are. The ones in the Hobby Boss set @Invader posted above are entirely different from those in the Tamiya Panzer IV kit. These are the ones you get in the Tamiya kit:
And these are the Hobby Boss ones:

The Hobbyboss DAK crew figures are actually a set from Tri Star, under new management.

They look a little clunky compared to that Tamiya set

I figured as much, but Scalemates doesn’t show it as a reissue so I wasn’t sure. I just tried to link the two sets, but I can’t find a way to do that when editing the Hobby Boss version.

The fewer circle sizes you have, the higher the odds that the size you want is not there.

Had these arrive today. The USN (PACV) came from Squadron. The two books are from Casemate Publishers for me to read and write reviews on.

First part of an early bday gift to myself. Also got a promotion at work so thought I would treat myself

Arrived yesterday. Wasn’t on my wish list but for 36 €uros I couldn’t resist. Once it’s on the bench, it will become the C2, depicted on the box. Any of our canadian fellows know what kind of Green that is? Takom says Tamiya XF-58 Olive Green. Don’t have Tamiya paints. Would NATO Green/Bronce Green do?

@recceboy might be able to help! but from my research NATO green is a perfectly fine match.
That is what I used for my leopard c2 mexas build
