I do not recall what kind of arms the forestmen came with but I am sure
that it is a real lego made minifig. The brown has the exact same glossyness
as the rest of the shirt the pattern of the shirt is exactly like any other
forestmen. It is just too perfect to be a fraud. This is not just a deep red
it is as brown as a wolfrack shirt. I think that it is either a red one that
has been left out in the sun too long, or a rare mistake. I just wish i could
remember what color arms it came with, you are right that is a big
clue. Rich
