Rarity
Uncommon - Exclusive to two of the mid-to-high range sets in the original theme
Head
Yellow classic skin tone, feminine facial features with dark orange eyebrows, eyelashes, and a mole on her right cheek. Single-sided print with short orange wavy hair (part 4022).
Torso
Medium Blue torso with female-contoured jacket printing, dark blue outlines, a silver medallion necklace, and black accents. Features mismatched arms: Right arm is Black with a Yellow hand, Left arm is Medium Blue with a Black hand.
Legs
Plain Medium Blue unprinted legs with Medium Blue hip piece.
Accessories
Typically came with technical equipment such as a laptop, binoculars, or a communicator depending on the set context. Not present in the provided image.
Color Scheme
Primary Medium Blue with Black and Yellow accents; hair is Bright Orange.
Printing Details
Simple 2008-era pad printing. Front torso detail includes a v-neck collar and medallion. No back torso or leg printing was standard for this era of Agents figures.
Variants
Standard version as seen; a later 'Ultra Agents' version of a similar character exists but with vastly different modern printing and flesh tones.
Condition Notes
Prone to loose arm joints due to play. The orange hairpiece is relatively durable but can show scuffs. The Medium Blue plastic is stable and resistant to yellowing.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $7.00; New (pulled from box): $10.00 - $12.00.
Price (New)
Included in sets retailing for $29.99 (8632) and $49.99 (8634) in 2008.
Compatible Sets
8632 Mission 2: Swamp Raid (2008), 8634 Mission 5: Turbocar Chase (2008).
Character Background
Agent Trace is a technical specialist and undercover operative for the LEGO Agents team, often seen navigating communications or driving high-tech vehicles to stop Dr. Inferno's henchmen.
Design Notes
The mismatched arm color (one black, one blue) is a deliberate design choice representing a tactical sleeve or prosthetic/glove common in the techno-spy aesthetic of the late 2000s.
Similar Minifigures
Agent Fuse (alp019), Agent Charge (alp010), and the Ultra Agents versions released in 2014.
Collectibility
High nostalgia factor for builders from the late 2000s; essential for completing the original 5-agent team, though not high-value.
History
Represents the first generation of LEGO's original 'spy' IP before it was rebooted into Ultra Agents years later.
Interesting Facts
Agent Trace was one of the few female protagonists in an action-oriented theme during this era that had a specifically distinct technical role.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Agents 8634 Turbocar or on a grey rock-work baseplate (like the mountain piece in the image) with other 2008-era Agents.
Modification Potential
The Medium Blue torso is a great base for female civilian customs or 1970s-style sci-fi uniforms.
Overall Assessment
A solid, classic example of mid-2000s character design. Recommended for fans of original LEGO IPs and nostalgia collectors.
