Quick answer
The Headless Horseman is a Roblox avatar bundle that makes your character appear headless. It costs 31,000 Robux, and it is only sold for a few weeks every October around Halloween. As of September 28, 2026 it is not yet back on sale — in 2025 it returned on October 1 and stayed until roughly November 1, so expect the same early-October window this year. The only cheaper-than-31,000 route straight from Roblox is the Roblox Plus discount (10% off avatar purchases, so ~27,900 Robux). Everything else ("free Headless," generators, 300-Robux tricks) is a scam.

Key takeaways
- Price: 31,000 Robux — unchanged across every Halloween event for years. That's roughly $390 USD at the standard Robux rate.
- When: October only. It returned October 1, 2025 and historically leaves around November 1. It is a seasonal re-release, not a permanent item.
- Cheapest legit route: buy it while you have Roblox Plus active → 10% off (≈27,900 Robux), rising to 20% off after several consecutive months of membership.
- It is NOT free, there is no code, and no "buy it for 300 Robux with Plus" trick — those clips confuse it with a different, cheap face item.
- Have your Robux in the account before it drops. The window is short and Robux purchases can lag; being ready is the whole game.
What is the Headless Horseman in Roblox?
The Headless Horseman is one of Roblox's oldest and most recognisable avatar bundles. Equipping it removes the visible head from your character, so you appear to walk around headless — the "Headless Head" look that has become a status symbol on the platform because of its price and its limited yearly availability.
It first launched back in 2013 and has returned nearly every October since, tied to Halloween. Roblox itself sells it (creator: Roblox, verified account) — it is not a community item, not a game drop, and not something any single experience like Blox Fruits or Adopt Me controls. It lives in the platform-wide Avatar Shop / Marketplace, the same place you'd buy any accessory or bundle.
Two things make it a big deal:
- The price. At 31,000 Robux it is one of the most expensive things Roblox sells directly.
- The scarcity. You can only buy it during its short October window. Miss it, and you wait a full year.
Heads-up on terminology: since 2024 the Headless Horseman is a Collectible / Marketplace item rather than an in-experience event reward. You buy the bundle from the Marketplace during its sale window — there is no quest, no badge, and no in-game grind that hands it to you.
How much is the Headless Horseman? (2026 price)
31,000 Robux. That number has held steady across every Halloween re-release, and multiple trackers plus the Roblox Wiki all list the same figure. Do not expect it to change for 2026.
For context, here's what that costs in real money at the standard Robux purchase rate (800 Robux ≈ $9.99):
| What you're buying | Robux | Approx. USD |
|---|---|---|
| Headless Horseman (full price) | 31,000 | ~$390 |
| Headless Horseman with Roblox Plus (10% off) | ~27,900 | ~$350 |
| Headless Horseman with Plus (20% off, 3+ months) | ~24,800 | ~$310 |
Prices are community/rate estimates; Robux-to-USD depends on the exact bundle you buy and any active Robux sale. Always check the live listing on the Roblox site when the item goes on sale.
When does the Headless Horseman come back in 2026?
Historically: October, and only October. Here's the pattern, so you can plan instead of guess:
- 2013: first sold ~Oct 31 – Nov 3.
- 2014–2022: re-released every October, on sale for roughly three to six weeks around Halloween.
- 2023: came a month early — the bundle appeared around September 15, 2023 — then also had a strange ~20-minute free reappearance on November 15 (a one-off, not a pattern to count on).
- 2024: available through the Marketplace rather than an in-game event.
- 2025: returned on October 1, 2025 and stayed on sale until roughly November 1, 2025.
For 2026: as of September 28, it is not on sale yet. The safest expectation is an early-October drop (around October 1) running through Halloween, matching 2025. Roblox rarely announces the exact minute in advance, which is why the community starts asking "is Headless back yet?" in late September every year — exactly what's happening on the trading forums right now.
Don't take a random TikTok's "confirmed October 1" as gospel — Roblox has moved the date before (2023 was mid-September). Watch the actual Marketplace listing, and treat any date before it's live as an estimate.
How to get the Headless Horseman (step by step)
- Save up 31,000 Robux before the window opens. This is the real bottleneck — buying that many Robux takes a big purchase, and it can take time to clear. Have the balance sitting in your account.
- Watch the Marketplace, not a game. When it drops, it appears in the Roblox Avatar Shop / Marketplace. Open Roblox, search the exact name "Headless Horseman", and confirm the seller is the official Roblox account.
- Verify it's the real bundle. Because it's a limited, resellers and copycats list look-alikes. The genuine one is created by Roblox and priced at 31,000 Robux. If a listing is cheaper or from a random user, it's a knock-off (or a scam).
- Buy it during the window. Once purchased, it's yours permanently — you keep it after the sale ends. You just can't buy it again until next October.
- Equip it from your avatar editor. Your character now appears headless.

Can you get the Headless Horseman cheaper? (Roblox Plus discount)
Yes — but only in one legitimate way, and it's modest.
Roblox Plus (the paid membership that replaced Roblox Premium in 2026) gives a 10% discount on avatar purchases, and that discount applies to the Headless Horseman because the bundle is sold by Roblox in the Avatar Shop. That takes 31,000 Robux down to roughly 27,900 Robux. If you keep Plus active for several consecutive months, the avatar discount rises to 20%, which is about 24,800 Robux — confirm the current tier on the Plus purchase screen, since Roblox has tweaked the month threshold.
That's the "buy Plus first" advice you'll see traders give — some players even pick up Plus purely for the Headless discount because the membership costs a few dollars but saves ~3,100+ Robux on a 31,000-Robux buy.
Reality check on the "300 Robux with Plus" clips: some videos claim Headless costs "around 300 Robux with Roblox Plus." That is false — those clips confuse the Headless Horseman with a cheap, unrelated face item. The Headless bundle is 31,000 Robux; Plus only shaves 10–20% off, not 99%.
One more 2026 change worth knowing: you no longer need a paid membership just to trade or sell Limited items. Players used to buy Premium/Plus specifically to unlock trading; that gate is gone, so if your only reason for Plus was "to sell my limiteds," you don't need it for that anymore — only for the purchase discount.
Is the Headless Horseman worth 31,000 Robux?
Honestly, it depends on why you want it:
- As a flex / status item: it's the single most recognisable "rich player" cosmetic on Roblox. If that matters to you and you have the Robux, it delivers exactly that.
- As an "investment": it is not a Limited-U with a rising resale price — it's a seasonal re-release, so it doesn't appreciate the way capped Limiteds do. Don't buy it expecting to flip it for profit.
- As a practical cosmetic: the headless look pairs with almost any outfit and never goes out of style, which is why demand stays high year after year.
If 31,000 Robux is a stretch, the smart move is: get Roblox Plus active first for the discount, then buy during the window.
FAQ
How much is the Headless Horseman in Roblox in 2026? It costs 31,000 Robux direct from Roblox — the same price it's been for years. With a Roblox Plus membership you pay about 27,900 Robux (10% off), or ~24,800 with the 20% tier after several consecutive months.
When does the Headless Horseman come back in 2026? It sells only in October. In 2025 it returned on October 1 and left around November 1, so expect a similar early-October-to-Halloween window in 2026. As of September 28, 2026 it is not on sale yet — watch the Marketplace listing rather than trusting an unconfirmed date.
Is there a code for the Headless Horseman? No. There is no promo code and no free version. You buy the bundle with Robux from the Avatar Shop during its sale window. Any site or video promising "free Headless" or a generator is a scam.
Does Roblox Plus give a discount on the Headless Horseman? Yes. Roblox Plus applies its 10% avatar-purchase discount to the bundle (about 27,900 Robux), rising to 20% off after several consecutive months of membership. It's the only legitimate way to pay less than 31,000 Robux straight from Roblox.
Do I still need Roblox Plus to trade or sell my Limiteds to save up? No. As of 2026 you can list and sell Limited items without a paid membership — that requirement was removed. You'd only want Plus for the avatar discount when actually buying Headless.
Will the Headless Horseman ever be permanent or cheaper? There's no sign of it. It's stayed at 31,000 Robux and stayed seasonal for over a decade. Plan around the October window and the Plus discount rather than waiting for a price drop that hasn't come.
Get your Robux ready before it drops
The Headless Horseman window is short and the price is steep — the players who actually get it are the ones who have their Robux sitting in the account before the item goes live, not the ones scrambling to buy Robux mid-sale.
Want to be ready the second it returns? Top up your balance so 31,000 Robux is waiting when the Marketplace listing goes live.
