Collectible Minifigures (CMF)
Year Released
2011. This figure debuted in April 2011 as part of the fourth wave of the CMF line, which pioneered the blind-bag marketing strategy for LEGO.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While mass-produced in 2011, it is now over a decade old and was only available in random blind bags, making it harder to find in good condition today.
Head
Medium Nougat face with printed dark brown fur pattern, yellow eyes, white fangs, and a snout. The hair piece is a unique reddish-brown ruffled 'wolf' piece with molded ears sitting on top of the head.
Torso
Dark brown base with tan/nougat printing representing chest fur and muscles. The arms are tan/medium nougat and the hands are tan/nougat to represent paws.
Legs
Dark green hips and upper legs representing shredded trousers, with the lower half being dark brown printed with fur and clawed foot details.
Accessories
Includes a white 1x1 round plate with a red bone/meat print (representing a treat or snack) and a black baseplate for display.
Color Scheme
Earth tones dominated by Dark Brown, Medium Nougat, and Dark Green, accented by the yellow of the eyes.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the face, torso front, and lower legs. Common for the 2011 era, there is no back or arm printing.
Variants
This is the original version. Other LEGO werewolves exist (Monster Fighters, Series 14), but they use different molds and color schemes.
Condition Notes
The hair piece's molded ears are prone to paint rubbing. Check for cracks in the tan arms, as early 2010s tan plastic can be brittle.
Estimated Value
Used: $6.00 – $9.00 USD. New (Sealed in bag): $12.00 – $18.00 USD.
Price (New)
Original retail price was $2.99 USD in 2011.

Character Background
A classic horror-inspired monster based on the full-moon transformation legend, designed with a slightly more 'cartoonish' style compared to the later Monster Fighters line.
Design Notes
First introduction of the specialized 'werewolf' hair mold with ears, which became a staple for later anthropomorphic animal figures.
Similar Minifigures
Wolf Guy (Series 14), Major Quinton Steele (Monster Fighters), Werewolf (Monster Fighters).
Collectibility
High for CMF completionists. It remains a fan favorite for Hallowen-themed builds and MOCs.
History
Part of the first major wave of 'Monsters' in the CMF line, which eventually led to the fully developed 'Monster Fighters' theme in 2012.
Interesting Facts
The 'bone' accessory print was unique to the CMF line for a period, often used as a dog biscuit for other figures.
Display Suggestions
Display in a graveyard scene or alongside other classic monsters like the Vampire and Frankenstein's Monster from Series 4.
Modification Potential
Excellent for fantasy MOCs. The legs are often used for DIY 'Satyr' or 'Faun' minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential 2011 CMF. It lacks the complex printing of modern figures but remains iconic for its unique head mold and classic horror appeal.
