White torn jacket/shirt over a tan tattered shirt with a brown belt; yellow hands and white arms.

Blue pants with intense white 'shredded' printing at the knees and white wolf-paws/feet printed at the base.
Accessories
Missing in image (originally came with a dark tan bone); usually paired with a brown hairpiece or wolf head mask which is also absent here.
Color Scheme
White, Blue, and Tan with Yellow skin accents; neutral earthy tones to represent a 'transformation' state.
Printing Details
High quality pad printing on torso and legs; features 'shredded' fabric effects that were quite detailed for the 2011 CMF era.
Variants
This is the standard Series 4 version; later werewolves appeared in Monster Fighters (sh013) with full-head molds.
Condition Notes
Note the missing hair piece and bone; check for cracks in the white arms and heel wear on the printed paws.

Character Background
This is the 'Classic' Werewolf from the Collectible Minifigure line, depicting a teenager mid-transformation.
Design Notes
One of the earlier CMFs to use leg-to-toe printing to simulate animal feet without a unique mold.
Similar Minifigures
Wolf Guy (col224), Werewolf (sh013), and various Scooby-Doo villains.
Collectibility
Moderate; desirable for fans of classic horror and CMF completionists, but common in used lots.
History
Part of the fourth wave of the CMF line which solidified the 'blind bag' phenomenon for LEGO.
Interesting Facts
The 'torn' printing on the legs perfectly aligns with the belt line of the torso, showcasing LEGO's precision during the series' growth.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a 16-compartment CMF case or as part of a Halloween themed diorama.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Custom' citizen figures if hair/head are swapped, or for zombie/apocalypse MOCs due to the tattered clothing.
Overall Assessment
A charming and nostalgic figure from the early days of CMF; this specific specimen is missing its key hair piece and bone accessory.
