LEGO Harry Potter Minifigures: Fenrir Greyback


Fenrir Greyback is exclusive to the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter sets 4840, The Burrow, and 10217, Diagon Alley. This will be the first time Fenrir will have appeared in the LEGO universe.

Minifigure Parts and Accessories
Fenrir is composed of four parts: a hairpiece, head, torso, and legs.

The hair piece appears to be a new design; a swept-back style with a prominent widows peak.

The head is also a new print and faithful to the movie (see reference photo below). The only other werewolf design in a standard minifig head was part 3626bpb390. The head is dual-sided. The second expression shows Fenrir as being more stoic (similar to the reference photo below).

As with many of the minifigure wizards in this line, the accessory is a black 4L bar (part 30374) standing in for a wand, which is strange as I don't believe Fenrir is a wizard.

Army Building Potential
I don't see the entire figure himself being sought after, but individual parts could be. The hair, head, and torso have a high degree of custom possibilities. Overall, I would mark this figure with an ABP of moderate.

Big Draw
The main figure parts are the draw here: hair, head, and torso. Again, the custom possibilities with these parts could be high.
