Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While it appeared in a $20 set, it is unique to the Minecraft ecosystem and highly recognizable.
Head
Standard Minecraft cube-shaped head in Light Bluish Gray. Features a printed 'Wolf' face mask including ears, snout, and eyes over a human face print.
Torso
Light Bluish Gray with pixelated light and dark gray patterns on the front and back representing wolf fur and a 'V-neck' collar. Light Bluish Gray arms and hands.
Legs
Light Bluish Gray, unprinted. Standard LEGO minifigure leg mold.
Accessories
None included in image. Typically paired with a bone, a piece of meat (raw/cooked), or a sword in the retail sets.
Color Scheme
Monochromatic Light Bluish Gray with dark gray and white pixelated accents. Realistic to the Minecraft mob character.
Printing Details
High-quality pixel-accurate pad printing on the head and torso. Printing is strictly on the front and back of the torso and the front of the cube head.
Variants
This is the 'Steve' variant wearing a wolf skin. It differs from the actual Wolf mob (which is brick-built) and the later 2024 Wolf Costume Player.
Condition Notes
Check for scratches on the flat surfaces of the square head. The corners of the head piece are prone to paint chips or friction wear.
Estimated Value
$3.00 - $6.00 USD for used complete; $8.00+ for new/mint condition.
Price (New)
$19.99 (Set MSRP for 21140). Not sold individually; original retail price per group of figures was roughly $4 per figure.
Compatible Sets
21140 The Chicken Coop; also seen in modified versions or bundled in Minecraft accessory packs.
Character Background
Represents a player character in the Minecraft video game wearing a wolf-themed armor or skin, referencing the game's tamable wolf mob.
Design Notes
Uses the signature Minecraft head mold created by LEGO to maintain the game's cubic aesthetic. Pixel art style printing is unique to this theme.
Similar Minifigures
min094 Sheep Skin Player, min065 Pig Skin Player, min011 Steve (Standard).
Collectibility
Moderate. Popular among Minecraft completionists but widely available enough that it is not considered a primary investment piece.
History
Part of the second wave of Minecraft System sets where LEGO began diversifying player skins beyond the basic Steve and Alex models.
Interesting Facts
Though it looks like the Wolf mob, this is technically a 'Player' wearing a wolf suit, denoted by the human eyes visible through the mask.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Minecraft biome MOC alongside a brick-built wolf or a chicken coop as per its debut set.
Modification Potential
The head is highly swappable with other Minecraft players; the torso is a great neutral 'fur' base for custom forest-dwelling NPCs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, thematic addition for Minecraft fans. While common, its unique head printing makes it a standout for players who enjoy roleplay-heavy LEGO sets. Quality 7/10.
