Which forestman figure do you see as RobinHood?

For me its clearly the one with no neck ruffle, just plain green top with the money-pouch. But Brickpedia list the forestman with the red neck ruffle as Robinhood... what gives?

I don't know where Brickipedia gets there info sometimes.
I personally use the one with the red ruffles, but that's almost 100% due to the fact that the first Forestman I got, in a used lot back in the early 2000s, was one of them.
If I was to start from scratch, I think It would be a toss up between the black ruffled guy, or the all green one you mentioned. Or perhaps the red one still. Just not the blue one. He just doesn't do it for me.

Call me crazy, but I'd use this one:

He seems the jauntiest and most mischievous. I know he's technically Dark Forest, but that's my personal pick.

For me...it is all about the CMF one. He's so very much Erol Flynn and that is my favorite Robinhood.

Well, according to Lego racers, that guy is Rob N Hood.
Because he is Dark Forest, I disqualified him in my runnings, but I do have his as a Robin Hood. I have 3 minifigs in my collection that go by Robin Hood. (And one Rob N Hood)

I am pretty sure this is the case. We watched the Errol Flynn Robin Hood movie during the week of initial castle 2006 designs. The designer's may have thought the movie was a bit over the top but just a few years later we had the CMF figure...
