I know many are waiting for this one... hopefully it will not be long before the set hits the shelves.

Have to admit, the sculpting on these look rather ropey....

Not the best they've produced...

Beacuse of the IOTV ballistic vests, they are US Army only. If you look at their USMC tanker set, you will see the differences between the USMC vests and the Army vests.

These are much cleaner sculpts and resulting casts than the army guys....

Not much casting going on - they’re injection molded, aren’t they?

Will these figures be suitable as crew for a Stryker?

Actually the better question would be, what kind of US Army vehicles can I use the figures for? Except Abrams of course

They are appropriate crewmen for any US Army armored vehicle. There is nothing that makes them specifically for any one vehicle or vehicle type. They are fine for a Stryker, Bradley, Abrams, M109A6, M113, M1117 ASV, M9 ACE, etc...
