-3 RetroLegoLover Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Yes it is a Lego, and it was bought in the mid 90's in a thrift store while it was in a yellow duplo box, I know that much.

0 Shewie Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Remove the legs and look in between male plugs should be extruded LEGO logo. If it's not there it's not lego obviously. Legs are crooked as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Blake3741 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Actually, my old childhood Robin hood legos had that little sack on the waist. Although, those were usually green with a dark belt. Still, the figures printed shirt and bag on the waste are reminiscent of those figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Blake3741 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I remember having some of those, but I cannot remember where they came from. Out was so long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Pebble&Park Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yes this is the torso, but I'm not aware of it ever coming in yellow. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973p46&idColor=0#T=P&C=6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Huskers1236 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I wonder if it is some sort of test print. It has the same design as the Forestmen, but different color scheme. I don't believe this was something that was ever issued in a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gregpj Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The face pattern is from 1994 but there is no record on BrickLink of that combination of parts... are you sure it's not a mix of other figures? The green hands are definitely odd for mid 90s. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3626bp05&in=M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Blake3741 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yeah, when I say I remember having some of this, I'm referring to the torsos. I don't remember the green hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 RetroLegoLover Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 The neck peg does not say Lego, nor do the leg parts, but the figure is obviously Lego, maybe even a prototype, because of the forestmen print on the torso. Something else I noticed was that the neck peg was shorter than current Legos, either proving that the Lego is a bootleg ripoff, or a prototype that was never meant to be released. The leg pegs are shorter than normal too, like normal Lego studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leg pegs are shorter than normal too, like normal Lego studs. Looks like you are using "LEGO" as a generic name for construction bricks, and not just the brand LEGO. From the perspective of most of us here on the site, something cannot be called "LEGO" unless it has actually been made by LEGO. The legs SCREAM clone-brand - LEGO would never allow legs to sag like that. The fact that the studs on the leg parts are different is a dead-giveaway that the legs are from a clone-brand. That, plus the missing LEGO logo. Similar story for the torso - LEGO torsos would always have the LEGO logo on the top stud. Also, the inside of the torso is always the same for LEGO minifigs, perhaps if you can show us a picture of that compared to a regular minifig, it would help to further prove the point that this is a clone-brand minifig. The fact that you picked this up in a thrift-store makes the chances of this being something randomly stuck together out of different parts, including clone-brands, all the greater.

1 Huskers1236 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 After seeing those pictures and you saying that they dimensions are off, it's definitely not Lego. Bootleg using the Forestman's torso design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
