Posted August 23, 201311 yr Being a big fan of the Mel Brooks movie, Robin Hood Men in Tights, I thought I'd update some of my old classic Lego Forestmen with new heads to look like the characters from the movie. There are a few new figures as well to round out the mini scene. All your favorites are here, including Ahchoo, Blinkin, Robin Hood, Maid Marian, and the Sheriff of Rottingham. And in the back is Little John, Will Scarlet O'Hara, and two other Merry Men. I'm working on Don Giovanni, Latrine, and Prince John.
August 23, 201311 yr These look great, well done! I always thought the Forestman from Minifig series 1 looked like Cary Elwes as Robin Hood. But you're still missing Mel Brooks as the rabbi.

Thanks. Hmm, never did like the Rabbi part. But that sure would be an interesting character to recreate. Especially with his cart.
August 23, 201311 yr Great collection of merry men, very merry men in tights.....Yesss ! But where's Mel Brook's character in there eh ? Brick On in tights 'Southwest Chief' !
August 24, 201311 yr Good luck with the project, the characters are recognizable, the hair and head pieces depict them well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtmbZnXSQ7k I had to put the video. Avalonian puns in 3,2,1...
August 24, 201311 yr Nice! When the forrestmen came out I actually linked him rigt away to robin hood from men in tights. Fun to see the other characters as well now!
August 24, 201311 yr Author Mini update. I think I've found a good combination of parts to make a few more characters. Of course I don't have all the parts at the moment. But when they come in I'll post some more photos of the other characters.

September 16, 201311 yr Just like in the movie. The lady with the blue dress, where did you get that torso?
September 17, 201311 yr Author The lady with the blue dress, where did you get that torso? That's Queen Leonora, I changed the face and hair. Oh wait maybe you mean the purple dress. That is a Lord of the Rings figure; Arwen, I changed the face, hair, and hands. Edited September 17, 201311 yr by Southwest Chief
March 18, 20159 yr Author Got a better torso for Rabbi Tuckman: Edited March 18, 20159 yr by Southwest Chief
March 20, 20159 yr Nice job with the figs. I haven't seen the movie, so when I saw Dirty Ezio, I thought of this: http://oyster.ignimgs.com/ve3d/images/04/75/47552_AssassinsCreed2-Ezio.png Edited March 20, 20159 yr by Robin Creations
