Theme
Agents
Year Released
Released in 2008 as part of the debut wave of the LEGO Agents theme.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited edition, the specific head and torso are exclusive to original Agents sets which have been discontinued for over a decade.
Head
Yellow skin tone with printed silver goggles featuring green lenses, a black strap, and a slightly frowning mouth. This head was specific to the 'Henchman' goons of the Agents line.
Torso
White lab coat over a medium blue shirt. Printing includes a black strap across the chest with a walkie-talkie and two vials (one blue, one orange), and an orange ID badge. Back printing is minimal or absent depending on the specific assembly version.
Legs
Plain orange legs without printing. The orange color is a signature of the Dr. Inferno henchmen uniform.
Accessories
The base minifigure is currently missing its hair piece (typically black hair swept back or a cap) and standard tools (often shown with a wrench, crowbar, or walkie-talkie accessory).
Color Scheme
Primary colors are white and orange, accented by a medium blue shirt and silver/green goggles. This vibrantly contrasting scheme is iconic to the Dr. Inferno faction.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing for 2008 standards. Features sharp detail on the chest-strapped walkie-talkie and vials. The goggle printing on the head is durable and holds detail well.
Variants
Variants include different versions of Henchmen with different headgear (helmets, hair) and torso designs (one with a 'Bakery' logo for the undercover truck set). This specific version is the standard mobile lab technician.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes silver paint rubbing off the goggles and neck-torso cracks. The orange legs are prone to visible scratches. The figure in the image is missing its hair/headgear piece.
Estimated Value
Used (incomplete as shown): $2.00 - $4.00 USD. Used (complete): $5.00 - $8.00 USD. New/Mint: $12.00+ USD. Individual parts like the head or torso are worth roughly $1.50-$2.00 each.
Price (New)
Included in sets ranging from $10.00 to $90.00 in 2008. The specific set 8632 (Mission 2: Swamp Raid) retailed for $9.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
8632 (Mission 2: Swamp Raid), 8635 (Mobile Command Center), and 8631 (Mission 1: Jetpack Pursuit).
Character Background
A generic henchman working for the villainous Dr. Inferno. These characters served as the 'foot soldiers' in the LEGO Agents storyline, often acting as pilots or lab technicians for the doctor's various doomsday machines.
Design Notes
The design was part of LEGO's push for more 'cinematic' action-oriented themes. The use of goggles and vials printed directly on the torso was a step up in detail compared to standard City figures of that era.
Similar Minifigures
Other Dr. Inferno Henchmen (agt002, agt011), Dr. Inferno himself (agt001), and later Ultra Agents villains from the 2014 reboot.
Collectibility
Medium. The Agents theme has a strong cult following among collectors who grew up in the late 2000s. It is desirable for collectors completing a full 'villain's army' for the Dr. Inferno faction.
History
This figure represents the first iteration of the 'evil lackey' in the Agents line. The theme was a successor to Alpha Team and set the stage for later themes like Ultra Agents and Monster Fighters.
Interesting Facts
The ID card on the torso actually features a tiny printed portrait of the minifigure itself—a self-referential detail LEGO designers often used in the late 2000s.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for laboratory dioramas or placed inside the 8635 Mobile Command Center. Recommended to be displayed alongside a Dr. Inferno figure to establish the faction hierarchy.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Hazmat' or 'Mad Scientist' MOCs. The white lab coat torso is very versatile for custom science-themed builds.
Overall Assessment
A nostalgic and well-designed grunt from a beloved era of LEGO original themes. While not highly valuable on its own, its unique printing and iconic color scheme make it a standout part of the 2008 lineup.
