I got Springer last week, and I find it's quite a good figure. The 'loose' ankles may be down to variation between figures - mine aren't loose, but I can see how they can be problematic if they were a bit looser. The transformation joint halfway down the lower leg is an issue (the joint on my figure's right leg is loose), especially since the knees on mine are quite tight, but again, this could be down to variation in tolerances during mass production.

One thing that isn't clear in the instructions is that the grey bar that swings the front end of the vehicle forwards and backwards is actually meant to click and lock into place, and on mine it required a bit of force to push past what felt like stopping points at each end to get it to 'lock' in the forward or backward positions.
