"Have no fear, for I am here!"
―The Forestman

The Forestman, also known as Robin Hood,[1][2] is one of sixteen minifigures from 8683 Minifigures Series 1. He comes with a quiver and a cap and bears some resemblance to the old Forestmen, but with greater details. He also appears in The LEGO Movie.

Description[]

The Forestman has green legs and hips. He has a green torso with a printing of a brown belt with pale studs. A strap runs diagonally from his right shoulder to his left hip. Both the belt and the strap have buckles. The upper portion of the torso is a darker green than the rest of it and has a tan collar at the top. He has tan-sleeved arms and yellow flesh tone. The forest man has a light brown beard, moustache and eyebrows as well as black eyes and a slightly open mouth showing white teeth. He has a green hunter's hat with a small red feather in it. The forest man comes with two accessories: a bow and a quiver.

Background[]

The LEGO Movie[]

In The LEGO Movie, the Forestman is among the Master Builders that meet in Cloud Cuckoo Land. Vitruvius refers to him as Robin Hood and he is the first Master Builder to be acknowledged to during the meeting. Emmet also dresses up like him for a minute when he is getting ready to start the day.

“Have no fear, for I am here!”

The brave and fearless Forestman is always arriving just in the nick of time to save the day. Whether he’s swinging down on a vine to rescue a damsel in distress, leaping boldly from the castle battlements to duel an evil duke, or making an incredible trick shot with his bow and arrow to help a friend in danger, he is at all times the very model of a chivalrous hero of legend and yore.

The Forestman loves to make a good first impression and is always practicing his dramatic entrances to get them just right. He’d come to the rescue anyway, of course (it’s just in his nature to right wrongs and fight injustice wherever he finds them), but it’s terribly disappointing for him if no one is around to see him gallantly arrive on the scene for his latest feat of swashbuckling derring-do. He’s only sad for a moment, though, and then it’s off to battle the bad guys and save the day once again!
