I would be wary of combining figures from two or three different manufacturers in close proximity. For instance, Verlinden's offerings are more like 1/32, and though both MB and DML are both 1/35, the MB figs tend to be more "chunky", [broader chests, thicker legs etc.]. Also the sculpting style is quite different. MB figs have soft sweeping folds, while DML have tight sharp folds.
All this may sound a little anal, but I bought some DML and Miniart panzer riders to populate a Stug, but they simply looked wrong when they were sat side by side.
My advice would to be to buy another set of MB Captives and mix and match the torsos, legs, arms and heads to create five new poses.
