Year Released
2008 context: Debuted in 8632 Swamp Raid and 8633 Speedboat Rescue during the era of high-action original LEGO IPs.
Rarity
Uncommon. This specific version was unique to the initial line of the Agents theme from 2008-2009. While produced in several sets, it is becoming rarer due to the age of the theme.
Head
Light Flesh color with a confident smirk, white pupils, and thin black eyebrows. The headgear is a classic M1-style steel pot helmet in Olive Green (Part 3068b), which is a rare color for this mold.
Torso
Dark Blue torso with Agents 'A' logo on the left chest inside a target reticle. Lime green and silver armor/technical detailing. Includes back printing of the agents' tech gear. Arms are Dark Blue with Light Flesh hands.
Legs
Dual-Colored Legs (Mismatched Coloration): One leg is Blue and the other is Black, connected by a Black hip. Note: This design is intended to represent a tech-suit aesthetic or tactical holster setup.
Accessories
Standard black submachine gun / technical blaster. In original sets, this figure often used grappling hooks or classic LEGO pistols with silencers.
Color Scheme
Dark Blue, Lime Green, and Silver torso paired with mixed Blue/Black legs and an Olive Green helmet. High contrast reflective technical gear look.
Printing Details
Sharp pad printing on the torso (front/back) with metallic silver accents. High quality for the 2008 era, though the leg printing is absent (color contrast is achieved through mixed part assembly).
Variants
Standard Agent Chase (agt001) features the same head/torso but uses solid dark blue legs. This variant (agt002) is defined by the unique leg combination and the helmet variation.
Condition Notes
Watch for 'torso cracking' on the sides under the armpits, a common issue for Dark Blue pieces from this era. Check the visor/smirk print for fading and the olive green helmet for teeth marks.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $9; New: $12 - $15. Value varies significantly based on the presence of the specific olive green helmet which is often lost.
Price (New)
N/A - Originally found in sets ranging from $10.00 (8632 Swamp Raid) to $50.00 (8633 Speedboat Rescue).
Compatible Sets
8632 Swamp Raid, 8633 Speedboat Rescue, and 8635 Mobile Command Center (variants).
Character Background
Agent Chase is the lead operative of the 'Agents' team, characterized as an expert driver and tactical genius working for a secret organization to stop Dr. Inferno.
Design Notes
The Agents theme was a spiritual successor to Alpha Team. It introduced the 'Light Flesh' tones to non-licensed figures early on. The use of mismatched leg colors was a bold design choice to indicate specialized equipment.
Similar Minifigures
Agent Charge (agt004), Agent Fuse (agt003), and the Ultra Agents version of Chase from 2014.
Collectibility
Moderate. Highly nostalgiac for collectors who grew up in the late 2000s. The 'Agents' theme is well-regarded for its James Bond-style gadgets and unique villain designs.
History
Launched in 2008 as LEGO's answer to the action-spy genre. This figure marks the bridge between classic yellow-themed action figures and modern licensed realism.
Interesting Facts
The 'A' logo on the torso is identical to the one used in the LEGO Agents online flash games, which were highly popular on the LEGO website during the figure's release.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Agents Mobile Command Center or in a chase sequence with a 'Dr. Inferno' henchman on a bridge.
Modification Potential
The head and helmet are frequently used by customizers for WWII-era US soldier MOCs due to the Olive Green color and smirk expression.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential 2000s action figure. While not a high-value treasure, it is a sturdy, well-designed piece of LEGO history with a standout aesthetic due to the asymmetrical leg colors.
