Bundle head becomes entirely transparent under lower graphics in R15

The item in question is an avatar head that becomes fully invisible under specific conditions, particularly when the user’s graphics settings are set to level 8 or higher. This invisibility occurs because, at these graphics levels, Roblox optimizes performance by removing the ColorMap from the SurfaceAppearance, inadvertently rendering the head invisible.

This head also violates the terms of service for UGC Dynamic Heads due to the following reasons:

Unfair Advantage in PvP Scenarios: Invisible avatars can evade hitbox detection, providing players with unintended advantages in player-versus-player interactions. This undermines fair play and disrupts game balance.
Reference: Roblox Marketplace Policy, specifically the clause: “Making a user’s avatar disappear (completely or partially).” This clearly prohibits the sale of such items.

Interference with User Interface Elements: A fully transparent or invisible head can conceal essential UI components, such as display names and health bars, hindering player interactions and communication.

Expected behavior

The ColorMap should persist rather than having been removed in its entirety.

These transparent UGC items shouldn’t be able to be made in the first place.

The item has been removed off of the marketplace, so I will mark this as solved.

According to the rules for characters and their components—such as head, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, and torso—a bundle must be fully opaque.

However, as the original poster also pointed out, this bundle becomes transparent under certain conditions. Despite this item clearly failing validation and violating the Marketplace policy, it continues to exist in the catalog.

Additionally, the appeals team has restored this bundle twice in the past, even though there was an obvious rule violation.

I hope the necessary action will be taken. For reference, the screenshot and direct link to the rule being violated are provided below.

I used to own a head like this (don’t know why), I’ve seen people wear this in-game trying to have a cheap headless and I can tell they have a head as I always use the lowest graphics lol.

Jokes aside, something like this should not be on the marketplace, what’s even worse is that there are scam items that are impersonating this item and the headless head (they’re just invisible hats which do nothing). :sad:

Thank you so much for finally taking action here. If this item gets appealed once again, I’ll be sure to let you know.

Thank you. However, I have full confidence that the bundle will be reinstated, as the same agent who approved the previous appeals is expected to review it again and will likely approve it once more.

As anticipated, the incompetent appeals team restored this item in less than 24 hours:

Until you put a clear “unappealable” note in this item’s deletion data, this will be restored indefinitely. The appeals team has 0 idea how to do their job when it comes to items like these, which is quite ridiculous.

CC @Klaugrana001 and @PseudoRNG3816 for acknowledgement.
