## The Trash Pack Series 2 – Cruddy Crow #286 (Gross Ghost / Translucent Variant) RARE

Perch a phantom on your pencil with this **The Trash Pack Series 2 Cruddy Crow #286 (Gross Ghost Variant)**. While the standard Cruddy Crow is a scavenger of the “Bin-Fections” team, this **Rare Gross Ghost** edition transforms the bird into a haunting, **translucent** spirit. Released as part of the massive Series 2 expansion by Moose Toys, this figure features the signature **semi-transparent blue/clear** finish that defines this specific Gross Ghost subset. This item is **pre-owned and sold loose**, ready to fly into your collection.

## The “Gross Ghost” Translucent Finish

The defining feature of this rare variant is its unique material. Unlike the solid, painted feather details found on the standard figure, this Cruddy Crow is molded from a special **see-through plastic**. When you hold him up to the light, the light passes through his beak and body, giving him an ethereal, jelly-like appearance—like a ghost bird caught in the bin. This distinct visual style sets him apart from the opaque Trashies and makes the sculpted details of his ruffled feathers pop in a completely different way.

## Character Profile: Cruddy Crow #286

**Cruddy Crow** is a classic pest from the Series 2 lineup. The sculpt features a jagged, messy bird with a large beak and a crazy expression, looking like he’s been picking at trash for weeks. As character **#286**, he represents the “Bin-Fections” category (often associated with bugs and animals). This Ghost variant reimagines him as a spectral scavenger, adding a spooky twist to the typical “roadkill” theme of the character.

## A Rare Series 2 Find

Collectors know that Series 2 introduced some of the most sought-after variants. The Gross Ghost variants were considered **Rare** chase figures, often harder to find than the common solid-colored Trashies. Finding a specific character like Cruddy Crow in this specific translucent finish is a challenge for completionists. It stands out beautifully when displayed alongside the solid black or grey versions of the same character, showing the evolution of the mold.

## Squishy and Durable

Despite his ghostly appearance, Cruddy Crow retains the signature tactile fun of The Trash Pack. Made from durable, squishy rubber, he is satisfying to handle, stack, and launch. The figure features the standard hollow base, making him compatible with pencil tops and all Trash Pack playset pegs. Whether you display him in the *Scum Drum* or perched on the *Street Sweeper*, he is built to last and looks great backlit on a shelf.

## Pre-Owned Condition Note

This figure is listed as **Used**, meaning it has been removed from its original packaging and is sold **loose**. We have carefully inspected it to ensure the translucent rubber is clean and free from major ink stains or damage. As a vintage item, there may be extremely minor signs of handling, but the unique “ghostly” transparency is fully intact. We provide “In Kind” photos so you can examine the specific shade and clarity of this rare bird.

## Don’t Let Him Fly Away

Translucent variants are elusive—they appear in the market and vanish just as quickly. Whether you are building a full “Bin-Fections” team or a specialized “Gross Ghosts” display, the **Cruddy Crow #286** is a critical addition. Grab this rare collectible before it disappears into the sky!
