The popular multiplayer online social gaming platform comes home in action figure form.

I’m the first to admit, I’m not a gamer. I really don’t get into things like X-Box, Minecraft, and all this other stuff. I don’t look down on it, it’s just not my time. So when a package arrived with the Roblox figures inside, I had to look up what it was. Imagine my embarrassment with the fact my 4-year-old knew right away what Roblox is. I felt like I was living in a hole.

I have to admit, in taking a good look at these, I’m pleasantly surprised.

The Roblox figures come in one of three ways: Blind box, core character, or game packs. Each one of them come with a code you can use in the actual online game. Definitely a bonus here.

The three blind box characters I got were Shedletsky, Teaism, and Skaterboi. My first impression was they looked like oversize minifigures, but they are a little more than that. These three all have seven points of articulation. Plus you can mix and match the body parts to make your own character. They each come in their own box that can also be used as a stand.

The core character I got was Matt Dusek. He came in a clear package with some accessories. Same articulation as the blind box figures. The pumpkin head is cute on this guy. It comes off to reveal his true face.

Finally, we have the game pack: Roblox High School. This comes with two figures. One girl and one boy. Two skateboards, and a set of lockers. The other Roblox figures are very angular, while the high schoolers are more rounded. I honestly not sure why, but you can still tell all the figures inherit the same universe. 

All in all, these are a good representation of the game from what I can tell. I have to admit I’m impressed. 

These are a much have item for a fan of Roblox. But even if you’ve never played the game, like me, I still think you’ll really enjoy these figures!
