New World Miniatures, Chris Mrosko's new venture, announced M2/M3 Halftrack crew (Standard 43/44 ETO combat dress) 3 sets of 3 resin figures each. Presumably some or all are sitting. No word on ETA, however.
Otherwise, as the others have mentioned, the Tamiya Combat Group set (the same figures that come with the M3A2 halftrack) is vastly improved with new heads, as I did for a diorama. I even reworked one figure with a new melton overcoat (the guy cutting bread) and another with a mackinaw, since it was set during the push through the Hurtgen Forest. Careful painting with bring out the details. Along with the heads, the leggings are the worst and if you're really particular you could swap those with other figures. Don't overlook the Tamiya drivers for the jeep and cargo truck.
The Nemrod figures come with the melton overcoat and are very nice, but you might have to do some reworking to get them to fit in the seats with the other figures.
