What Roblox Bloxys Actually Are
They are small plastic figurines shaped like a Roblox character head on a trophy base. You see them in videos when people announce they won a Bloxy Award. The physical object is not particularly heavy and feels like inexpensive molded plastic when you hold it. That is fine because nobody buys them. They are given to winners. The Bloxy Awards started around 2019 as a fan-made event, then got picked up by Roblox itself. Initially you could just buy replica Bloxys from third party sellers on eBay or dedicated Roblox merch shops. Now the official ones are handed out at the ceremony held at Roblox headquarters or streamed online. I have seen the difference between the cheap knockoffs and the real thing. The real one has cleaner paint application and a slightly heavier base. The knockoff usually comes with loose joints and the logo is slightly off center.
How to Get Roblox Bloxys If You Are Not a Winner
There is no official purchase link from Roblox. They do not sell them through the website or the store. The only legal way to get an official one is to win a Bloxy Award nomination and actually take home the trophy. That is not useful advice for most people reading this, so here is what actually exists in the secondary market. Third party sellers on eBay and Mercari list replicas. Prices range from fifteen dollars to forty dollars depending on whether it comes with a certificate of authenticity from the seller, which means nothing. I bought one from a seller in 2021 for about twenty two dollars. It arrived in a plain box with no branding. The figurine looked close enough for a desk display but the arms were wobbly. I used a tiny drop of super glue on the left elbow joint and that fixed it. If you go this route expect to spend at least three weeks waiting for shipping since most of these sellers are individuals, not factories. Some Roblox convention booths at events like RDC or Bloxycon have sold official merchandise. These are rare now. I went to one in 2022 and the stand had sold out within the first hour. I ended up buying a used one from someone at the event for fifty dollars. Not worth it unless you already missed the chance.
What the Awards Actually Recognize
Bloxy Awards cover categories like Game of the Year, Developer of the Year, Best Experience, and various genre specific prizes. The voting is a mix of community nominations and a jury panel. I watched the 2023 ceremony and noticed that several nominees had been working on their projects for under six months. That is not a criticism, just an observation about how the Roblox development cycle works compared to traditional game dev. The ceremony itself is streamed on YouTube. You do not need to attend anything in person. Tickets for the live event are invitation only and go to top nominees, Roblox staff, and partnered creators. I have never been invited but I have watched every stream. The production quality is decent but not broadcast level. Audio sometimes cuts out during transitions.

Common Problems People Face With Bloxys
The main issue is durability. The plastic used for the head piece cracks if you drop it. I dropped one on a tile floor and the left side of the head split cleanly in half. Super glue does not hold well on this material because the plastic is somewhat porous. I ended up using epoxy putty instead, which took about twenty minutes to set and looks acceptable if you do not inspect it closely. Paint matching is another problem. The skin tone is a specific yellow shade that is hard to replicate. Standard model paint in a similar yellow looks wrong next to an undamaged Bloxy. Another thing nobody warns you about: the base can wobble on uneven surfaces. The bottom is flat but not perfectly machined. If you place it on a glass desk it will tilt. I solved this by sticking four small rubber feet on the bottom corners. They cost about three dollars on Amazon and make it stable on any surface.
Why Most Replica Bloxys Are Not Worth It
The replicas sold online vary wildly in quality. Some are accurate. Some look like they were made by someone who has never seen an actual Bloxy. The telltale signs are the eye shape, the proportions of the head to body, and the font on the base. Official ones use a specific rounded sans serif font. Fake ones often use something closer to Arial or Comic Sans, which is embarrassing if you put it on a shelf next to anything else. I would recommend against buying a replica unless you specifically want a desk decoration and do not care about accuracy. If you want an official one the only real path is to create content on Roblox, submit a game or experience, and hope it gets nominated. The selection process is not transparent. Roblox does not publish the criteria publicly. You can read community discussions about it but there is no official rubric.
A Note on Resale Value
Official Bloxys do not hold value well. I watched a 2020 winner's Bloxy sell on eBay for less than the original price after two years. The market is small because the total number of winners per year is limited and most winners already have one. Collectors do not treat them like trading cards or limited edition figures. They are novelty items that lose appeal quickly after the initial excitement wears off. If you are reading this because you want one for your collection, my advice is to wait until there is a public pre order announcement, which has happened occasionally but not recently. In the meantime you can follow the official Roblox social accounts or the Bloxy Awards Twitter for updates on the next ceremony and any merchandise drops.
