Rarity
Uncommon; as a retired 2011 CMF, it was widely available via blind bags but is now only found on the secondary market.
Head
Olive green skin tone featuring a 'Frankenstein's monster' aesthetic with heavy brow, dark green wrinkles, and a smirking expression with sunglasses. Dual-sided printing is not present on this specific era's CMF heads.
Torso
Sand blue denim vest over a black t-shirt design. Features a silver chain with a padlock pendant, vest pocket details, and dark green arms with black short-sleeve printing.
Legs
Sand blue pants with a black studded belt, silver buckle, and heavy boot printing at the feet featuring toe-cap details.
Accessories
Trans-red electric guitar (part 93554). Note: The original figure included a black 'spiky' hair piece (part 87991) which is missing in the provided image.
Color Scheme
The primary palette is Olive Green, Sand Blue, and Black, with a vibrant Trans-Red accent provided by the guitar.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the CMF line. Detail includes metallic silver ink for the chain and belt buckle, and intricate stitching patterns on the denim vest.
Variants
None for this specific version, though the character is a clear homage to the Universal Monsters but with a rock-and-roll twist.
Condition Notes
The olive green plastic is generally durable. Common wear includes silver paint rubbing off the chain/belt and 'cracking' on the torso sides. The guitar neck is prone to bending or stress marks.
Estimated Value
Used (complete with hair): $6.00 – $9.00 USD; New/Sealed in bag: $15.00 – $20.00 USD. In its current state (missing hair): $4.00 – $5.00 USD.
Price (New)
Originally retailed for $2.99 USD per blind bag in 2011.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Part of the 'monster' sub-line within CMFs, this character is a rock-star version of a classic flesh-golem or Frankenstein's monster, likely performing in a monster band.
Design Notes
The use of olive green was relatively new to minifigure skin tones in 2011. The vest printing is considered a classic example of LEGO's early-2010s 'cool' aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
Monster Rocker (Series 14), Monster Scientists (Series 4), and the various Frankestein's Monster variants from the LEGO Studios and Monster Fighters themes.
Collectibility
High for CMF completionists. While not the most expensive figure in Series 4 (Hazmat Suit and Kimono Girl are higher), he is a staple for 'Monsters' collectors.
History
Released during the peak of the original Transylvania-style monster interest that led LEGO to develop the 'Monster Fighters' theme a year later.
Interesting Facts
This character also appeared as a playable character in LEGO Minifigures Online. The guitar accessory was revolutionary at the time for its translucent color.
Display Suggestions
Looks best on a stage MOC or alongside Series 14 'Monsters' figures. Use UV-protected cases as trans-red plastic can fade under direct sunlight.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The olive green head is a popular part for custom zombie or post-apocalyptic survivor minifigures. The denim vest torso is frequently used for custom civilian or biker MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier collectible from the golden age of CMFs. Highly desirable for its detailed printing and unique color palette, though the missing hair piece significantly reduces its display value.
