The Springer Kangaroo Family
FATHER BRUCE SPRINGER runs the Sylvanian cricket club and is also captain of the team. Depending on what team wins the toss of the coin he either opens the batting or begins the bowling. His finest hour- and it did only take an hour- was when he bowled out the entire second eleven for only twelve runs and then opened the batting for his team and hit all of the first three balls for six. What a win!
MOTHER SHELIA SPRINGER is a great all round sportswoman and is especially good at netball. She is often found at the netball courts either playing her favorite position of goal defence or coaching one of the junior teams. She works hard at all her sports, encouraging her children to do the same. "Winning is not everything, beating your personal best is!" she claims.
SISTER JOANNE SPRINGER, like the rest of her family is sports mad. Her favorite activity is running; to be precise, long distance running. She trains very hard at this, getting up at 6 o'clock every morning in order to run round the fields, having a quick shower before she dashes off to catch the school bus.
SISTER JOCELYN SPRINGER was very pleased to win a gold medal during the Sylvanian Games. Like her sister she is a very keen runner, and her medal was for the 100m sprint.
BABY BROTHER JOEY SPRINGER loves to play bat and ball with his father, Bruce. He usually misses the ball with the bat, which makes both him and his daddy laugh.
BABY TWINS JOSEPH AND JOSEPHINE SPRINGER love to put on the colourful netball bibs and bounce a ball between each other.
The Springer Kangaroo family were first released into the UK range in 2011. They had been released the previous year in Japan, but with different heads. When released into the UK market they were given a whole new look, along with a pair of twin babies. A sister figure was released seperately from the rest of the family, as a set of three medal winners for the Sylvanian Games range, released to coincide with the Olympic games of that year.
