Year Released
First released in 2014 in set 70162. Released during a period of high-tech app-integration experimentation and detailed pad-printing evolution.
Rarity
Uncommon. This figure was exclusive to only two specific sets within a theme that had a relatively short production run of two years.
Head
Yellow skin, printed with a headset/microphone, angry/focused expression, and double-sided printing with a neutral expression. Black mid-length hair piece.
Torso
Black torso with detailed tactical vest printing, silver/white technical highlights, 'UA' logo on the left chest, and arm printing is not present (standard black arms).
Legs
Black legs with intricate tactical pocket and belt printing in white and silver to match the torso assembly.
Accessories
Typically comes with a translucent blue energy weapon or tablet. Note: in the provided image, the figure appears without its specific set accessories.
Color Scheme
A 'stealth' color palette of Black, Medium Stone Grey, and White, with Light Royal Blue accents representing energy technology.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing including back printing on the torso. The level of detail in the tactical harness lines is consistent with LEGO's mid-2010s premium standards.
Variants
Standard version (uagt013) and a variant with a slightly different equipment loadout in later waves, though the base character print remains largely consistent.
Condition Notes
Prone to scratches on the black plastic of the torso and legs. Check for 'neck cracks' in the black torso and hair piece rubberization degradation if stored in heat.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD. Complete in Set: Part of sets ranging from $25 - $60. Value is stable but not skyrocketing.

Compatible Sets
70162 Infearno Interception (2014), 70165 Ultra Agents Mission HQ (2014).
Character Background
Agent Trace is a specialist recruiter and field agent for the Ultra Agents, an elite team fighting the super-villains of Astor City. She is known for her tactical prowess.
Design Notes
The use of the yellow 'Classic' skin tone was a specific choice for this home-grown theme to differentiate it from licensed 'Flesh' tone themes like Star Wars or Marvel.
Similar Minifigures
Agent Jack Fury, Agent Curtis Bolt, and high-tech City Police or Galaxy Squad characters.
Collectibility
Moderate. Highly collectible for fans of the 'Ultra Agents' lore, but has less crossover appeal to general collectors compared to Star Wars or Super Heroes.
History
Ultra Agents was the successor to the 'Agents' (2008) and 'Alpha Team' lines, representng LEGO's most advanced take on the 'Secret Agent' genre.
Interesting Facts
The 'UA' logo is a direct nod to the classic Agents theme 'A' logo, updated with modern graphic design for the iPad-app-connected generation.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the Ultra Agents Mission HQ or on a translucent blue baseplate to simulate a digital 'holodeck' environment.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The black tactical torso and legs are highly sought after for MOC (My Own Creation) military, SWAT, or sci-fi custom minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed figure from one of LEGO's most creative original IPs. While not highly valuable, the quality of the print and the cohesion of the design are top-tier.
