## The Trash Pack Series 2 – Trashmite #253 (Gross Ghost / Translucent Variant) RARE

Burrow into the spectral side of the dump with this **The Trash Pack Series 2 Trashmite #253 (Gross Ghost Variant)**. While the standard Trashmite is a pesky wood-eater from the “Bin-Sects” team, this **Rare Gross Ghost** edition transforms the termite into a haunting, **translucent phantom**. Released as part of the massive Series 2 expansion by Moose Toys, this figure features the signature **semi-transparent** finish that defines this specific Gross Ghost subset. This item is **pre-owned and sold loose**, ready to infest your collection with spooky vibes.

## The “Gross Ghost” Translucent Finish

The defining feature of this rare variant is its unique material. Unlike the solid, painted body of the standard figure, this Trashmite is molded from a special **see-through plastic**. When you hold him up to the light, the light passes through his segmented body and mandibles, giving him an ethereal, jelly-like appearance—like a spirit mite caught in amber. This distinct visual style sets him apart from the opaque Trashies and makes the sculpted details of his insectoid form pop in a completely different way.

## Character Profile: Trashmite #253

**Trashmite** is a classic “Bin-Sects” character, capturing the essence of a microscopic pest made large and gross. The sculpt features a segmented termite body with a large head and pinching jaws, looking for some rotten wood to chew on. As character **#253**, he is a core part of the Series 2 checklist. This Ghost variant reimagines him as a phantom pest, a bug that haunts the woodwork! It adds a spooky, sci-fi twist to the gross animal theme.

## 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 Trashmite in this specific translucent finish is a challenge for completionists. It stands out beautifully when displayed alongside the solid yellow or red versions, showing the evolution of the mold.

## Squishy and Durable

Despite his ghostly appearance, Trashmite 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 hiding in the *Dumpster Diver*, 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 mite.

## Don’t Let Him Burrow Away

Translucent variants are elusive—they appear in the market and vanish just as quickly. Whether you are building a full “Bin-Sects” team or a specialized “Gross Ghosts” display, the **Trashmite #253** is a critical addition. Grab this rare collectible before it disappears into the woodwork!
