G1 Repro 'Ghost' Sludge and Slag Now Available...

Motto: "I once lost a battle. So long ago I can barely remember it."
Weapon: Thermal Melters
The following new repro G1 figures are available:

G1 Repro 'Ghost' Sludge:

G1 Repro 'Ghost' Slag:

I think that these release are getting a little out of hand. These figures have no real raison d'etre!

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

These better be fakes.
Seriously, why them, there are more deserving characters than them.

Why did they make "Ghost" versions anyway?

My point exactly. At least the ghost Mirage (from tech specs) made sense as did the black Mirage (G1 ep Traitor) and red Mirage (Diaclone) ones. This ghost version of the dinos just has no basis in G1 folklore or storylines.

Why do these "ghost" versions kept springing up?

I don't find them more pleasing to the eyes than their un-ghost version.

"Ghost" Sludge and Slag? I didn't even know they were sick. I... I never got to say goodbye.

Are they dead and ghosts or did Wheeljack install cloaking devices in them like what Mirage has?

Well whatever, lame all the same.

I don't mind clear or ghost figures if they actually make sense like Stascreams ghost or invisible Mirage. These Dino's, I just don't get.

Maybe they thought Dinos are a thing of the past. As good as dead. :P
