Synthesized Verdict

"The Werewolf is a Highly Recommended gem from the Monster Fighters line, earning a BrickScore of 85 and a 4.57 owner rating across 47 reviews: a small set with a clever hidden catapult, a standout glow-in-the-dark minifigure, and the kind of original LEGO storytelling that collectors still seek out."

The Monster Fighters Werewolf set earns consistent enthusiasm from both expert reviewers and the large pool of owners who rated it. Reviewers praised the hidden catapult mechanism, the detailed vintage hot rod, and the excellent werewolf minifigure with glow-in-the-dark claws, all pointing to a small set that punches well above its size. Owners back this up strongly: 4.57 out of 5 across 47 ratings with 92% recommending it, a figure that aligns neatly with the BrickScore of 85.

What reviewers are saying

"The Monster Fighter sets came out in 2012 and it's high time I do a new review on some of these because they are such incredibly awesome sets."

"The Werewolf is one of the smaller sets in the Monster Fighters set but I had an absolute blast putting it together."

2002 Studios werewolf set — This 2012 Monster Fighters werewolf came out roughly 10 years after an earlier werewolf set from the Lego Studios line (around 2002), which also featured monsters but in a different theme.

Value drivers

Jay's Brick Blog: The Werewolf minifigure with its unique custom head mould and glow-in-the-dark claws is a significant draw. Jay states 'The Werewolf is almost worth the price of admission thanks to the intricate level of detail of his head.'

Exclusivity

BrickQueen: Limited release from 2012; no longer in retail.

Jay's Brick Blog: Not exclusive; available in wide retail (mentioned K-Marts in Australia).

Resale

BrickQueen: Pricing has approximately doubled from original MSRP, indicating stable aftermarket value for out-of-production Monster Fighters sets.

Major Quinton Steele

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Glow-in-the-dark clawsValue
The reviewer notes 'The thing about Monster Fighters, it had quite a few pieces uh in all the sets that would glow-in-the-dark and I thought that was awesome.'
Pistol/revolver pieces used as car engine parts
The reviewer expresses enthusiasm about this piece reuse: 'I always love it when LEGO decides to reuse pieces in kind of interesting ways when you see like a gun being used as like part of a car. I mean I I just think that's something cool.'
Werewolf head mouldValue
Custom-molded unique headpiece with detailed teeth, mane, and intimidating expression. Jay describes it as 'quite possibly one of the most beautiful head moulds that I have ever owned.'
Revolvers used as exhaust pipes
Unusual building choice where revolvers double as exhaust pipes (or defensive guns) on Major Steele's vehicle, adding visual interest and thematic coherence.
Torch lights for headlamps
Use of 4 torch lights as headlamps on the vehicle; Jay notes these are one of the vehicle's 'very nice features' contributing to the compact yet feature-rich design.
Moonstone (transparent red crystal)
Transparent red crystal piece with unique wolf emblem bearing thematic significance within the Monster Fighters lore; part of the overarching theme mechanic.
