The History of Roblox’s Most Iconic Items and Hats

Roblox’s catalog contains thousands of items, but a small number have risen to legendary status — items so iconic that owning them is a statement of prestige, history, or both. Here’s the story of the most culturally significant items on the platform.

The Dominus Series

The Dominus series began in 2010 with Dominus Empyreus, a menacing black crown with glowing red eyes. Originally gifted to Roblox’s top administrators, it became the ultimate status symbol. Today, the original Dominus variants sell for over 1 million Robux on the resale market. Their combination of visual impact and extreme scarcity has made them the Roblox equivalent of sports memorabilia.

The Headless Horseman

Available only in October, the Headless Horseman bundle removes your character’s head, replacing it with a floating Jack-o-Lantern. It costs 31,000 Robux during its annual sale window, making it expensive but accessible compared to Dominus items. Players who buy it outside the sale window pay resale prices that can be ten times higher.

Korblox Deathspeaker

A skeletal leg replacement that makes your character appear half-undead, Korblox Deathspeaker achieved cult status through its unique visual design and the fact that it pairs dramatically with the Headless Horseman bundle. Community-made outfits built around these items spread virally on social media, creating self-reinforcing demand.

The Guest Hat and Early Nostalgia

The grey Guest Hat represents a different kind of iconography: nostalgia. Guests (non-logged-in users) were removed from Roblox in 2017, making the guest aesthetic a symbol of the platform’s early days. Fan recreations of guest aesthetics persist as a cultural statement about belonging to the “old” Roblox era.
