Roblox walks back some of its dramatic changes to avatar faces, but not enough to make everyone happy

One of the shop NPCs in the Roblox game The Forge. He's got brown hair with a bear and is wearing a flashlight helmet, like a miner would. .

Ever see the movie Face/Off? John Travola and Nicolas Cage swap faces because one of them is a cop and the other is a terrorist and the cop is doing this big undercover thing that all goes wrong because nobody thinks that maybe they should write this stuff down in case the three people who know about the plan die in an untimely fashion. (Guess what happens next.) Anyway, the terrorist has a grand ol' time with his new face but of course the cop isn't so upbeat about it, and that kind of sums up the state of things with Roblox and its players in the wake of the decision to remove "classic" faces from the Roblox Marketplace.

The looming change came to light earlier this week, in an announcement about Roblox's "marketplace policy for heads." In a summary, Roblox Corporation said "all Classic Head and Face combinations will be replaced with a corresponding Dynamic Head in February 2026. The Classic Heads and Classic Faces categories will then be removed from the Marketplace."
