GRRR!
Werewolves aren't generally my favorite monsters, but this one looked good, and his design is a very funny reference, so I knew I needed to add him to the group.
Box/Instructions
The packaging is very nice.
Parts
This guy's parts are decent. He has a new werewolf head, which is very similar to the Monster Fighters version. It's one special piece, even though it seemed that it might be a mask. He reuses Rocket Raccoon's tail, and his bone piece is okay.
The build
Easy as can be.
The completed model
First off, this guy is hilarious. His outfit reveals that he used to be Kel the Lumberjack from Series 5. I think it's great that they turned an older character into a monster. LEGO's bio suggests that he's a permanent wolfman, though, and not a shapechanging werewolf, but he's a werewolf in my mind. His shirt and jeans are now tattered and torn, with the trousers being torn above the knee. Dual-molded legs are used for this. His claws are visible on the toes. His bone accessory is a bit lazy to me, and makes little sense, but it's fine.
Overall opinion
I think this guy is great. I love that LEGO made an older character into a monster, and I think they did it well.

Bricktober Month begins
Set #71010 Wolf Guy: It's time for another year of spooks and specters, so why not finally get on to reviewing Series 14 CMF. There are many who praised these figures when they first came out and for good reason.
The Wolf Guy represents a brand new interpretation of the Werewolf which was first used/created in Series 2 with a much more traditional appearance. Returning the more animal-like look of the character Wolf Guy reuses the Monster Fighters head piece, or a very similar sculpt design to the muzzled dog-like appearance of the werewolf. He has some very impressive printing on this head piece as well for the eyes and the teeth.
His torso is double-sided with rips and tears everywhere showing the transformation has damaged his wardrobe. His legs have been dual molded featuring a dark grey for the lower feet which feature claws printed on the toes. More rips are present on the jeans revealing fur underneath. This character has a name on his breast pocket too, Kel, it could be a brand name for the shirt, however I don't think so.
Wolf Guy is very impressive, and it's clear that LEGO designed him with a bit of tongue in cheek humour typical of LEGO. Wolf Guy is Series 5 Lumberjack after being out in the woods one spooky night he must have come across a werewolf and suffered the curse. Now after every full moon he's forced to run wild through the woods, a large bone in place of the axe at his side.
A great looking minifigure and a very nice addition to any spooky, scary, holiday display. Strongly recommend tracking him down if you haven't done so already.

What is in the basket little girl?
The head looks new to me (but I could be wrong), and a well printed part. The other part worth mentioning is his "tail", (it might be hard to notice in the picture). I think it is the same one as "Rocket the Raccoon" from "Guardians of the Galaxy".
He does look menacing with his snarling teeth. His torso is a ripped up flannel shirt with the name of "Kel" on it. The legs are dual colored and well printed.
If you are looking to find this guy with the feel method, I would look for the big bone.
