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.

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.
