I missed that. Going back and re-reading it I see they are all different, but nothing mechanically changed there. Player characters (called "heroes" in the NA wording*) are the same as players and characters. They are clearly looking for a generic term rather than just having to writer "players/characters and monsters" so "figures" makes sense. "Spring" and "Trigger" have identical meaning.
*I like this the best, even though in storyline/lore "you are not yet true heroes..." is put out there a few times... we all know what is meant by the term. The four little red pieces (or equivalents in blue in the later boxes) as opposed to the other ones. Morcar is after all, a player in his own right, but he's also the game master! So no single figure represents him... he's all of them at once!
