@@Nitrolord Suggest searching one word names with nothing else,those are almost always old accounts that usually have a chance of coming with old clothing
I joined during 2017, but I really like the style of old roblox avatars not because of its nostalgia but because it's straightforward and simple. I have an avatar that uses the brickbattle skin colors and even though I equipped 2 UGC items I still liked it because of how simple and clean it looked.
i did join in 2017 too, and oh boy things were better than nowadays. you remember when u didnt know what to play or how to play but nowadays people are getting toxic and overall just getting worse
I joined basically during 2017 too a but for some reason the classic avatars give me an nostalgic feeling still, even if I wasn't apart of roblox then. idk how to really explain it.
2:35 I've been feeling that Headless Horseman is like my favorite package not only because of the invisible head, but because of the full gothic body, and the epic pumpkin. Same happens with Deathspeaker, I would use the full package as well.
Something else that could help you find classic accessories: *Most* classic items have a unique name, such as: The Azure Gate Bridge or Headdress of Aken-Aten, the Sun King. These items describe themselves as unique according by their names. They literally describe what they are in a unique way. What I mean in "a unique way" is that it's a one and only item, that there's only of it.
@@cookielover3650 its meant to help you identify it if you aren't a veteran and don't recognize hats. Obviously nobody is gonna guess "The Azure Gate Bridge"
I don't think we should be dressing classic to be seen as a veteran or earn ppl's respect lol, I like the classic style because it's simple and cute and it feels so uniquely Roblox; modern avatars look like they're from a different game 💀 I joined in 2015 but don't really look the part since I just put random stuff together, thanks for this vid! It was really helpful :(
This!! I feel the exact same way, I sometimes dress like this on roblox just because its simple and nice and i think it looks cool, not to earn peoples respect. I don't care if you dont respect me
People just try to express their own aesthetic in the avatar, nowadays people wear Emo, weeb and cute softie aesthetics and so on, with items they made themselves, while in old times people had to use what the shop got or the random leftover items on their inventory
Damn, I had no clue that so many people want to be like the classic avatars, as someone who actually played during 2008 and still does to this day as a developer, it’s surprising to see this because personally, the old avatars weren’t as nice as there are now. Way more options now. But really, to make an old avatar, chuck on a visor or a crown, have a gear, and use a nice png t shirt
Newer player here, the appearance of older ROBLOX avatars is simple, unique and mysterious. Sure, it is quite limited but it stands out and represents what ROBLOX was originally supposed to be.
it's because it's nostalgic and simple. Actually in my opinion you can do more creatively with restrictions, which is why classic avatars just feel cooler. You have to think outside the box on how to make it look unique, that's almost an artform within itself
The reason why a majority of players are having issues with making these avatars is because they didn't play roblox during that period, there were numerous avatar trends they never knew about, and they generally dont know what people during that time usually wore. You don't see a player in 2012 wearing UGC items or any items made after 2012.
I beg to differ, my friends who joined when they were really young wear ugc all the time. The real ones enjoy ugc outfits more as it allows more creativity than what they were stuck with. I have a handful of friends who joined when they were like 7
@Obama doESn’t care #NFT #NFTs #NFTCommmunity many old devs and old players in general use ugc! Mostly newer players try to dress in a classic style, as shown by the many users who don't use rthro.
agreed, most people who are left in roblox have only been playing from 2015 - 2023. Most of the players from the 2006 - 2013 period have either left or barely play anymore.
the dates of when accessories or clothing (or really ANYTHING on Roblox) used to be public for years.. until they removed the feature to view it for some reason..
maybe they will if we ask for it enough, but they seem to be taking away personality from the website and making it more generic. There are pros to it but i'm afraid that roblox won't look like roblox anymore, it already sometimes doesn't
personally, i liked mixing modern avatars with old avatar themes for example: r6, specific body colors and modern but basic clothing, simple ugc i like the simplicity because its nice and straight to the point (and i may or may not have adhd)
this reminded me of an old "Classic" avatar i made a while back. it was supposed to be a mix of the old and the new, i used new UGC and a few old looking accessories with skintone edits. it looked pretty good and people actually considered it classic enough, i like to show how the new and old look together with avatars usually and this video helped me out. thanks.
Though I joined 2019/2018, I've always loved old avatars. I've tried making an old avatar of my own but it never felt right. After watching this I've made an avatar I'm pretty happy with, thank you for making this!
@Nitrolord No problem, also I might as well sub to you and get you to 1k subs. You're really underrated and I enjoy watching your videos! Congrats on 1k!!
Edit: after 2013 your character didnt have studs Note! if you are using a studed shirt make sure that the stud texture matches up with the dates of the shirt for example have the stud texture be the stud style of the newest item you're wearing. All the times roblox changed the stud texture: early 2009, later in 2009, 2013 (which was probably when studs on characters got removed)
Another interesting thing is that inlet pants aren't exactly accurate. Old Roblox avatars never had inlets on their feet because it could connect them to the studs on the ground, making the avatar immovable.
The most impressing is that "old" stuff created by roblox or the commuinity (like hats or skins) were actually beautiful and classic, and free, today everything costs robux
this video REALLY helped me out. i tried making classic avatars back in early 2022, and they did a lot of the things that were frowned upon in the video. so i made a 2008 style avatar going off of the old roblox tralier, but ended up really liking the 2012-2014 era a lot more and followed the video (mostly about package use) and i love how my avtar turned out! thank you. you need more subs
i still went back to an avatar i made in that early 2022 era too though, because i made an obby centered around it and felt like it needed a revamp, so i did! it wasnt really classic, but it was to me. honestly i think thats the best kind of classic avatar, having sentimental value to your own imperfections
as someone who came from 2010, if you wanna use ugc, my best advice is to use it in a way which makes it so you're less going for an "era" and more just a general idea
4:50 From what I know, in April 2016 the classic ":D" face got replaced with "Happy :D". The difference isn't that big but the original face had bigger eyes and some OG players still have it nowadays.
The 2012 style is really cool. I joined Roblox in 2016 and had to adapt to the style from then on. I have gone through several styles, but I always had this love for a style from 2012 and 2015 (looking at people's old designs or videos of the time, I found it interesting between the two dates) and several times I base myself on that, because it is the style with the one i feel comfortable with (now styles aren't bad but just way out of my style) and i really love this video, thanks for this content, keep it up :)
I either use guests, or 2011-2014 default, they're easy to make and are quite good looking even today, they have style, and generally look rather more interesting than most modern outfits.
I've always had the gripe of people with korblox and headless, saying it's a total waste of money if not used with the full set. And I'm happy that I'm not the only one that thinks that. I prefer these classic avatars nonetheless. I Also have a pseudo-classic avatar at the moment that I'm always minorly changing with new different items that fit the vibe I'm on. So right now I'm on the whole vaporwave vibes.
This video was very informative, not many people get straight to the point, but you did. Now I can create multiple old skins without having to wait 30 mins. Thanks
Listen. I'm not much of a Roblox "OG" as I joined the platform mid 2017, but I just LOVE the fun and colorful style of these old avatars, and games! They have so much character to them!
I normally check back on my old computer, with my old account. I know I’m sounding like the main comment but ye, still do. Still extremely hard to play on it so I just sort of leave it like that.
I joined in 2019 but my old Roblox was still better. I mean tell me you prefer back when all we knew was work at a pizza place. Didn’t you like it whenever everyone was so simple didn’t you?
No way! I had no idea this was a thing! I thought classic avatars had been abandoned completely but it's nice to see some people are still going for that classic look. A part of me kind of wants to get back into Roblox, though not sure
16:36 I've lived by this rule for years. As someone who hailed from the Golden Age of Roblox, the late 2000s, I love dressing all Classic to harken back to the good ol' days. Back then, I used to hate whatever modern thing Roblox was coming out with, but since I returned to playing Roblox in 2020, I've embraced and even admire much of the modern innovations introduced since the years I had quit playing, like R15. And I was legit excited when layered clothing came out, as the customization possibilities, plus my imaginative mind whenever I find certain items, were able to run wilder than ever before.
I love making classic avatars, though it can feel a bit hard to get something quite right. Currently I go for a 2012-2013ish style because what’s what I grew up with, but I make earlier style avatars too. Hopefully this video helps me create better and more accurate avatars Really hope roblox gives us some sorta “search by date” type feature one day for clothes Edit: wow this video is super useful thank you so much
I was following along with this video while making an avatar with a budget of 47 robux and random items I own. The end result is honestly pretty good. Thanks for the advice :D !!!
I wasn't even here for the classic era (played as a guest in 2017, made first account in 2018, made current in 2019, so yeah, pretty old but not THAT old), and I don't want to pretend I was, but I just love how the classic avatars looked. This helped a lot, thanks.
Just wanted to add onto 8:44, shirt templates are still stored this way, but you'll have to subtract from the ID multiple times until you find the template, and go back + subtract again if you come across any places. With how big the site has become, so many assets are being made at once that the template gets a little bit lost among the sea of things being made at once. But with patience, finding stuff past ~2015 or so is still possible!
Interesting video, I agree with most of your points. I joined in January 2012 and I remember the prominent styles being: 1. The skater/streetwear type with DC clothes, monster energy stuff, the sk8r boi hats, shaggy, etc. 2. The scene/emo style with the clothes primarily by Shaddic, neon clothes, Domo shirts, Beautiful Hair for Beautiful People, Auburn Scene Hair, hair combos, shutter shades, etc. 3. The swagbro style. 2.0 package, TBK and Adidas clothes. False hair extensions (aka where the hair was just drawn on the shirt) were popular with girls in this style. Funny thing is, even back in 2012 people were saying modern ROBLOX sucked and trying to dress classic. Now people are still saying modern ROBLOX sucks but going after that 2012 drip lol!
As another fellow 2016er I don't have much to talk about other than the fact these avatars look a lot something I would see on the cover of Catalog Heaven so I perceive em as hella accurate!! All of these have a certain vibe to them and it hit me when you mentioned your opinion on the ":]" & ":D" faces because I didn't expect others to feel a specific/"stereotypical" stigma to some accessories! Great video!
@@SoupyMittenstell me how gradient clothing a pumpkin head and antlers are more unique then a ultra detailed and meaningful avatar, avatars have gotten so much better with ugc unlimting ideas for avatars
This is an incredibly well explained and well thought out video, and thanks to this video I’ve been able to make a more accurate classic-styled avatar!
I’m not going to lie this guy is one of my favorite TH-camrs ever. He has such cool content in my opinion. I’m just so sad he is so underrated. I really like how his videos are 30 minutes usually because I get to watch for such a long time.
I’m not a classic player (only been on Roblox since 2016), but I love learning more about the sites past and this vid was great! Now I’ll be ready if I ever wanna hit up The Boys and Girls Dance Club with some real old fashioned drip
I joined roblox in like uhhh 2016 and then I found out about classic avatars I loved it but I keep losing my old roblox accounts so I have to make new ones and that breaks the fun.
Back then there were also more Packages that you could buy back then but we’re removed. I don’t know when they were removed but I’m betting some disappeared when rthro came out. The only package I can remember that was removed was the Don’t Tase Me Bro! package.
You missed a package that has gray on it for clothes. Lord Jahfyre the Grim has a small area on the arms and legs for putting custom clothes. It was also released in 2010.
He didnt meantionm it but a really good way to make you stand out as well is to have your username be more unique, like numbers at the end, maybe using Xx? just look at old avatars usernames and see if you an use their username styleif that makes any sense
Honestly I can't wait for 10-15 years down the line when we're all watching videos about the greatest ugc creators that shaped Roblox culture and how to find the best "classic ugc"
i wish roblox didnt ever release dynamic heads (no one asked for that and even they are offsaling faces bc of this). Also... why did roblox just offsale whatchoo talkin bout and the goofy looking heads? Literally they are the most perfect heads to style axoz (like perfection head) and other styles. Hope david listens to the community someday but that is never gonna happen..
I recently found my old account from 2017, and I feel like 8 year old me nailed the transition from 2013 to 2016. Like I have the boy body and a helmet, and thats it. And a classic t shirt, along with the silly fun face
One of the biggest problems with making classic styled roblox characters is that you can’t use things like the pea brain head. the reason these were put off sale I don’t think anyone knows. it didn’t make sense then, and it doesn’t make sense now. Maybe it was because rthro?
Watching these videos brings me lots of nostalgia. I miss my old accounts sad they’re gone. I remember when packages first came out a little after I joined early 2010, the robloxian 2.0. Had a lot of rare items when they came out. Epic face, valkryae, had the old ambassador badge. Roblox has changed a lot it’s nice to see the new generation enjoying it like we did. The game was my childhood I’m sure it shaped my life in someway
This is so true lol. I joined 2011 and when I play games like "flex your account age" I see a lot of accounts that were obviously purchased because they are wearing lost egg and bodycolors only, instead of the regular stupid stuff that people actually had back then.
When I played since 2010 I constantly updated my avatar to match with the times. Now I wear a 2011 visor and the official bloxxer t-shirt with basic, darker colours out of protest for the gradual art style degradation :>
As a 2016 player, I’m very good at capturing avatars from that time, but it is slightly harder for times before that. Luckily I’ve studied some old avatars and created one, I use the awsome jacket (worn by telamon in the 2009 trailer), Jeans (worn by Builderman), and the classic astronaut helmet, with some classic skin tones, I’m still working on the face though
15:00 I feel called out. For context, I bought this hat (left) because I was very poor and wanted to save robux. I was going for a white & black suited avatar, and UGC was out for about a year then. Anyways, I wasn't trying to go for the classic style, so can I get a pass?
Oh man this brings me back, i remember going through dozens of pages of Jeff Hardy shirt and sleeves to find that one colour of them i wanted for my character 🤣
I heard about how newer players try to look Classic, but something crazy is that I actually am a Classic/Veteran player who actually enjoys dressing Classic.
Both my accounts are form 2012. My first one which was my main one until 2019 (nearly entering 2020) that account my hacked so I switched to the backup I made all that time ago as well. The two were only 2 months apart. I had a lot of old Roblox items on that one( lots of limited to) but on my now main I recreated a ‘2016’ theme using more Morden items. It made a lot of people happy to see.
dynamic heads can be made by UGC creators you can actually pay 75 Robux for what looks like a diamond head the only downside is you can't choose your own face
My biggest gripe is finding old clothing. When searching for key terms, the page is flooded with the same ctrl c+v as it has been for years already.
Again, I would check out the inventories of some old profiles! You can find a bunch of them by looking through Froast's forum archive

Just wanted to add onto 8:44, shirt templates are still stored this way, but you'll have to subtract from the ID multiple times until you find the template, and go back + subtract again if you come across any places. With how big the site has become, so many assets are being made at once that the template gets a little bit lost among the sea of things being made at once. But with patience, finding stuff past ~2015 or so is still possible!
i cannot be trusted with this info 😅
the mystery city clothes are great for classic avatars imo. cheap, stylish, and has great synergy
Interesting video, I agree with most of your points.
I joined in January 2012 and I remember the prominent styles being:
1. The skater/streetwear type with DC clothes, monster energy stuff, the sk8r boi hats, shaggy, etc.
2. The scene/emo style with the clothes primarily by Shaddic, neon clothes, Domo shirts, Beautiful Hair for Beautiful People, Auburn Scene Hair, hair combos, shutter shades, etc.
3. The swagbro style. 2.0 package, TBK and Adidas clothes. False hair extensions (aka where the hair was just drawn on the shirt) were popular with girls in this style.
Funny thing is, even back in 2012 people were saying modern ROBLOX sucked and trying to dress classic. Now people are still saying modern ROBLOX sucks but going after that 2012 drip lol!
for the 4:20 ugc section, its really good now because people make WAYYY cheaper head replacements with the new weird head thing
As another fellow 2016er I don't have much to talk about other than the fact these avatars look a lot something I would see on the cover of Catalog Heaven so I perceive em as hella accurate!! All of these have a certain vibe to them and it hit me when you mentioned your opinion on the ":]" & ":D" faces because I didn't expect others to feel a specific/"stereotypical" stigma to some accessories! Great video!
I find it ironic that the avatars have gotten less unique now that we have more options than back then
headless eboys everywhere be like
I’m sorry but this is completely false lmao

sorely tempted to go back to my 2013 egghead outfit after watching this, oh man.... those were the days
I started playing Roblox in 2010 and 2011. My childhood would never have been the same without it
This is an incredibly well explained and well thought out video, and thanks to this video I’ve been able to make a more accurate classic-styled avatar!
This is SO helpful! Thank you!!! I've been wanting to make classic avatars for a long time, but I couldn't find a detailed tutorial like this one.
Koishi!!
@@marichaxitpot koosh, indeed.
As a classic Roblox player, I can confirm that this is how all Roblox avatars were like around 2006-2013
As a classic player to I approve.
You aren't no classic player you're some pooron that larps
2:20 someone call the fire department cuz this fit is fire 🔥🔥💯💯
the real pro gamer move is to actually use the exact avatar you rocked back in the day.
i dont think an obey shirt is rockin it tho
nah bro, my avatar back in the day got me bullied off a tycoon once 😭

or just find an old account and copy from there
watching this and reading the comments as someone with an account from 2007 is an interesting experience
a nice way to stylize your look is to find the old clothing creators like armitroner or Shaddic
omg yes thanks for this! i remember shaddic i used to own his stuff, also vendettathegreat
You forgot Keletho too
I started seeing roblox in 2012 and finally made an account in 2014, I miss the golden days.
I’m not going to lie this guy is one of my favorite TH-camrs ever. He has such cool content in my opinion. I’m just so sad he is so underrated. I really like how his videos are 30 minutes usually because I get to watch for such a long time.
I just logged on to my Roblox account which I haven’t used in 5+ years, my main skin was waiting there for me, very nostalgic
Its gonna be even harder now, with so many old faces going off sale
I’m not a classic player (only been on Roblox since 2016), but I love learning more about the sites past and this vid was great! Now I’ll be ready if I ever wanna hit up The Boys and Girls Dance Club with some real old fashioned drip
16 is kinda the last year of ROBLOX not being modern.
But have fun pulling up to games with some classic fashion.
ive been on the platform since 2016 also, weird to think that it has been 8 years.
Started playing roblox when I was 6 years old back in 2016, now I'm almost thirteen.
17:30 Can confirm your avatar is cool, everything meshes well, good job
15:08 that one in the middle is between classic and now, they have a shaggy thats been unavailable since 2016
I really like mixing up classic avatars with like bundles like the OG ones, it turns out pretty cool and a very good combo.
I joined roblox in like uhhh 2016 and then I found out about classic avatars I loved it but I keep losing my old roblox accounts so I have to make new ones and that breaks the fun.
Back then there were also more Packages that you could buy back then but we’re removed. I don’t know when they were removed but I’m betting some disappeared when rthro came out.
The only package I can remember that was removed was the Don’t Tase Me Bro! package.
I'm feeling pretty old knowing people need a guide for something that was second nature to me....
You missed a package that has gray on it for clothes. Lord Jahfyre the Grim has a small area on the arms and legs for putting custom clothes. It was also released in 2010.
I love making avatars that are mixed between classic and modern. I don’t think I’ve ever made an avatar that wasn’t in the blocky style.
I joined Roblox in 2019 i may not know much about classic avatars but I sure do love them thanks for this tutorial l this helped a lot.
i really liked the un-beveled limbs back then, just squares and rectangles with sharp 90° angles
1:00 Hey, that’s the music used in Game Room 1 (Re-Volt Track Mod)
He didnt meantionm it but a really good way to make you stand out as well is to have your username be more unique, like numbers at the end, maybe using Xx? just look at old avatars usernames and see if you an use their username styleif that makes any sense
I joined roblox in 2016 (with guest), and create a account in 2017, but i really like the old style, is very expressive and beautiful!
Im 2p15 guest
Honestly I can't wait for 10-15 years down the line when we're all watching videos about the greatest ugc creators that shaped Roblox culture and how to find the best "classic ugc"
15:58 I've seen that guy somewhere they are a developer of a semi popular roblox game
i wish roblox didnt ever release dynamic heads (no one asked for that and even they are offsaling faces bc of this). Also... why did roblox just offsale whatchoo talkin bout and the goofy looking heads? Literally they are the most perfect heads to style axoz (like perfection head) and other styles. Hope david listens to the community someday but that is never gonna happen..
Fr bro, that sucks
I think dynamic head are cool, but taking faces off sale is bad.
Make a tutorial on how to replicate the old roblox shirts designs! I want some custom designs to put on a shirt with a slight modern twist.
neat idea!
this is why i am gonna make a game about roblox fps game that makes people bring back to the good ol days. i hope it goes well.
I recently found my old account from 2017, and I feel like 8 year old me nailed the transition from 2013 to 2016. Like I have the boy body and a helmet, and thats it. And a classic t shirt, along with the silly fun face
I’m proud to have a classic based avatar & nothing will make me change my mind!
I will definitely have to use this knowledge in real life so that i can pull a bunch of blocky girls!!
One of the biggest problems with making classic styled roblox characters is that you can’t use things like the pea brain head. the reason these were put off sale I don’t think anyone knows. it didn’t make sense then, and it doesn’t make sense now. Maybe it was because rthro?
Watching these videos brings me lots of nostalgia. I miss my old accounts sad they’re gone. I remember when packages first came out a little after I joined early 2010, the robloxian 2.0. Had a lot of rare items when they came out. Epic face, valkryae, had the old ambassador badge. Roblox has changed a lot it’s nice to see the new generation enjoying it like we did. The game was my childhood I’m sure it shaped my life in someway
My accounts @zelda763/chqse, @darklink763 @youmario
I started playing roblox in 2012 and seeing this video was nice, reliving a nostalgia of the old styles, i like them and use them sometimes.
Si el video estuviera en español me sería más fácil comprender este bello mundo de los avatares clásicos
This is so true lol. I joined 2011 and when I play games like "flex your account age" I see a lot of accounts that were obviously purchased because they are wearing lost egg and bodycolors only, instead of the regular stupid stuff that people actually had back then.
getting ready for the roblox classic🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's so hard cuz I'm a free guy and was stupid back then so I got none of the free things usually
This guy seems like the most generous guy in the world.
I like the aesthetic of the classic avatars because they felt unique and showed off your personality in a way while still being simplistic.
how did bro go from this to a furry freak party
When I played since 2010 I constantly updated my avatar to match with the times. Now I wear a 2011 visor and the official bloxxer t-shirt with basic, darker colours out of protest for the gradual art style degradation :>
good
Who else is using this for the classic event?

"you dont miss old roblox, you miss being happy" -random pink burd guy
classic avatars aside, who remembers the red antennae + a random red cap + astronaut helmet avatar trick?
Amazing guide, pretty accurate from what I saw back in 2010.
Ikr
i despise people who get the noob color shades wrong
Same
As a 2016 player, I’m very good at capturing avatars from that time, but it is slightly harder for times before that. Luckily I’ve studied some old avatars and created one, I use the awsome jacket (worn by telamon in the 2009 trailer), Jeans (worn by Builderman), and the classic astronaut helmet, with some classic skin tones, I’m still working on the face though
For me my avatar was based on the 2015 - 2016 style of the guests as it was my first experiences playing on roblox
Same man, almost all my avatars look similar to the 2015 era from when I started playing
check out armitroners clothing for old ones from around 2008 and after.
Bro talking about studying roblox avatars go outside and study how to get some women
@@DestroylonIeyno no I meant, when I looked through my friends list I saw them

yep
Yea

15:00 I feel called out. For context, I bought this hat (left) because I was very poor and wanted to save robux. I was going for a white & black suited avatar, and UGC was out for about a year then. Anyways, I wasn't trying to go for the classic style, so can I get a pass?

Oh man this brings me back, i remember going through dozens of pages of Jeff Hardy shirt and sleeves to find that one colour of them i wanted for my character 🤣
I heard about how newer players try to look Classic, but something crazy is that I actually am a Classic/Veteran player who actually enjoys dressing Classic.
2016. You probably don't believe me, but I technically experienced Classic (or old) Roblox.
@@GuestTheRobloxianAmerica 2016 or 2015 were the end of classic ROBLOX, after that it really just went into the ROBLOX we know today.
@@TPSpwned Okay, I agree with that statement. I mostly preferably state 2016 as the last year of ROBLOX being classic ever again.
@@GuestTheRobloxianAmerica I wouldn't consider 2016 classic, I would say it's more "Middle ages".
@DalekGarf i mean it was the year tix was removed and it was 9 years ago so id say its definitely on the very edge of classic
nobody talking bout that the retro 3d glasses were released on 9/11 😭

@@Nitrolordwow
I was just going to ask the same thing Ty.
17:47 that was a hard line🔥🔥🔥
Both my accounts are form 2012. My first one which was my main one until 2019 (nearly entering 2020) that account my hacked so I switched to the backup I made all that time ago as well. The two were only 2 months apart.
I had a lot of old Roblox items on that one( lots of limited to) but on my now main I recreated a ‘2016’ theme using more Morden items. It made a lot of people happy to see.
dynamic heads can be made by UGC creators you can actually pay 75 Robux for what looks like a diamond head the only downside is you can't choose your own face
