The Trash Pack Series 2 – Melter #209 (Gross Ghost / Translucent Variant) RARE Figure

## The Trash Pack Series 2 – Melter #209 (Gross Ghost / Translucent Variant) RARE

Heat up your collection with this spectral edition of a Trash Pack classic: the **Series 2 Melter #209 (Gross Ghost Variant)**. While the standard Melter is a gooey, overheating appliance from the “Hard Rubbish” team, this **Rare Gross Ghost** edition transforms the toaster 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 haunt your kitchen counter.

## The “Gross Ghost” Translucent Finish

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

## Character Profile: Melter #209

**Melter** is a classic “Hard Rubbish” character, capturing the moment a household appliance goes horribly wrong. The sculpt features a toaster or heater that is literally melting into a puddle, with a distressed face. As character **#209**, he is a core part of the Series 2 checklist. This Ghost variant reimagines him as a phantom appliance, the ghost of burnt toast! It adds a spooky, sci-fi twist to the electronic waste 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 Melter in this specific translucent finish is a challenge for completionists. It stands out beautifully when displayed alongside the solid grey or orange versions, showing the evolution of the mold.

## Squishy and Durable

Despite his ghostly appearance, Melter 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 *Junk Truck*, 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 melter.

## Don’t Let Him Melt Away

Translucent variants are elusive—they appear in the market and vanish just as quickly. Whether you are building a full “Hard Rubbish” team or a specialized “Gross Ghosts” display, the **Melter #209** is a critical addition. Grab this rare collectible before it disappears!
