We’re updating Heads!

Hello @GuilleLopezD,

Thanks for your answer. No, only the Lin’s face has been replaced since the 15th December 2023. But getting the John or Casey’s face is still a way to get Skeptic for free and not animated, and if Roblox replaces it, it would be sad since Skeptic is still a good face in some cases.

Whatever, concerning Claire, you can have exactly the same face without the freckles. But I think that this update is only destroying the loved past of the platform. Roblox should let the choice to people to have a classic or animated face.

I hope my answer helps you. If you have got any question, tell me!

Apparently they’ll allow you to switch between the two eventually as a part of a different system, but if that’s the case then why do they bother delisting the OG faces while the new system is still underway?
they already automatically give the new heads if a classic face is purchased.

I also prefer the classic headless head and I am very frustrated that Roblox legit removed it from my inventory. Why do they have to force this update upon us, instead of letting us at least decide whether we want to wear dynamic heads or not? Also a dynamic headless head is pointless because it’s invisible. Such a lame update, and I really want my original head back. I contacted Roblox support about this issue 3 times and I intend to contact them again. They responded by saying they are aware of the issue and working to resolve it, but that was quite a while ago and still got nothin.

the least they could have done was give us that option to begin with instead of maybe-possibly having that option several months down the line

This definitely sucks for me, like bruh I wanted the : D face but now it’s been replaced
by a stupid version that doesn’t even work or look good in half the games I play, just because of a stupid update I missed D:

My honest reaction:

Defaulting to animated heads is low, even for Roblox.

I can’t believe a free face cost 120 robux now just because it moves

Doesn’t even look as good as the OG either. Really, none of the dynamic ones look any better.
Ironically, I find it common to see people use them without the mood, since it makes it use the default neutral expression.

it is 2/22/24. Since July, 7 months from now, we were informed that we will be able to toggle back to classic faces. WHERE IS IT? I don’t care if anybody says it’s just a game or if it’s stupid or whatever. You really wanted a face that could fit the avatar and just walking around with that, unfortunately, your taste is not suitable with a head that has BLINKING EYES and inappropriate measures (like why is it that my face looks so small and thin as if I’m an old senior?) and Roblox had already blocked most of good classic faces from sales and are directly harming them. There are still no announcements to the preservation of classic faces since. They definitely have dropped these on purpose and I’m not going to let them forget.

Give us back the sales of classic faces, ALLOW US TO SWITCH TO CLASSIC with the head by now at least, and keep the portion of pre-metaverse Roblox players happy.

Yes, we need this change to happen soon, gets annoying whenever you join Roblox for the first time to see your avatar creepily blink at you in the camera, but dynamic heads can be used to make some funny and unique avatars, like this one i made:

pretty cool, but yet the negatives outweigh the positives.

Yall are liars. I cant switch back to the classic face but instead you guys lied and forced the dynamic heads on us, so we cant switch back.

Understatement of the highest degree

Who thought this was a good idea? Why should Roblox get to decide how our avatars should look (within the boundaries of the rules, of course)

Really. Is there any reason for the option to switch back to classic faces to be postponed? (Considering that we’re just allowing users to replace dynamic head with a mesh and image again which should take within the span of 4 months to implement). I do not know the estimated time where this will be resolved. I want just to be assured that this is being worked on and not deprioritized/dropped by the team that are working behind dynamic heads. I know the option to switch back will most likely be the most last things you guys would add.

In the meantime, if we can’t have options to switch back to classic faces through the respective assets, why make putting only one version on sale? This actually does seem like Roblox (in some specific part enacting this) is trying to force us to buy dynamic head, something we did not ask for, then drop the feature. Give us choice and stop undermining the phrase to “express yourself!!” This situation here, it harms Roblox’s credibility and Roblox had already showcased that you were able to switch back to classic faces. OVER SIX MONTHS, six months, people. I don’t think the engineers are to blame, I think the leadership is.

At this stage, I will continually bring reminder to this thread and will never let this be forgotten, because the forcing on consumers is unforgivable, under the company is unforgivable.

Let this speak

Vouch. Also: although I’m not a big trader or anything, it’s definitely worth saying that replacing the 2D versions of limited faces with 3D versions without a toggle will absolutely damage their value irreparably. It’s happened before, but unlike other times, this isn’t done for copyright purposes or some other reason. This is something completely avoidable.

Do better Roblox… not that I expect you to.

You should be able to switch to classic by going to heads aka body and click classic heads then faces

But what if they don’t have the classic versions of the faces first? They would have no choice but to stick with the dynamic versions of the faces if they don’t get the classic versions in time.

That’s true but newer roblox players would be used to dynamic heads and i think they get the classic smile, but yea i agree, nobody should be forced to use dynamic if they don’t want to
