Meshes found in Roblox's website that are unused.

Early Character Redesign

This appears to be an early attempt to redesign Roblox's character. The model was codenamed "John", (most likely named after John Shedletsky, the first employee and former creative director of Roblox, although the model was designed by contracted artist Mike Rayhawk in 2005/2006, before John would have been employed) and it is fully-modeled. It was placed on the Roblox blog in 2007 with a texture, and the textures were rediscovered on 10/27/2017, leaving the opportunity to create a recreation of the model. For whatever reason, it has a scale that makes it very large. This is a demonstration. The mesh can be found here.

Using the textures that were uploaded onto the site and fixing the UV maps on the mesh reveals some interesting things, namely that the hair texture was changed before it was uploaded onto the client and site. It's currently unknown if isolated versions of the limbs exist.

Trophy

At one point, while badges were still in development, they were going to be a full-on customized mesh rather than just a shiny block with a circle-cropped image of whatever you uploaded as the icon on it. This texture seems to have been designed in such a way that it could be easily retextured by the player, however, it's anyone's guess as to what was originally intended by the texture.

Here is a mockup of what it would look like in-game with a badge texture.

Lego Tree

A Lego tree mesh.
It can be seen in a demo by John Shedletsky, one of the former developers for ROBLOX, but without any textures. Given the video is specifically about an update to ROBLOX's rendering system to allow it to render detail much more efficiently, he might've uploaded it to test the graphics engine just for the recording.

In the comments section of that same video, Shedletsky mentions that he actually modeled the tree mesh "a long long time ago" and mentions that "They look similar, but they're "original""

Egg Hunts

The annual Egg Hunts usually have some cut content, as do a lot of events, due to the approaching deadlines.

Egg Hunt 2008

Inviter Egg

This Egg is the oldest canceled egg (that we have knowledge of) that exists. It was supposed to be used in the 2008 Egg Drop. It can be assumed that this egg was used in the now-defunct Invite a Friend program, where users could email friends invite links to gain an Inviter badge on their profile.

Egg Hunt 2012

StackingDoll Egg

The StackingDoll Egg is an unused egg for the 2012 Egg Hunt. The model is split into two halves, like a real stacking doll.

Egg Hunt 2013

ColoredDotEgg

There is a texture titled ColoredDotEgg that was created around the time of the 2013 Egg Hunt. The background of the texture hides CommanderVideo from the Bit Trip series.

Battle Egg

An egg meant for the 2013 Egg Hunt based on another Roblox game called "Roblox Battle", It might have been a cross-promotion with Roblox Battle.

Egg Hunt 2014

Friend Egg

The Friend Egg was supposed to be used during the 2014 Egg Hunt. It is unknown how you would have obtained this egg but it might have been obtained by playing with a friend or making friends during the event.

Golden Mercurial Egg

An unused version of the Mercurial Egg, with a golden winged hat instead.

Egg of Time (Original Version)

An early version of the Egg of Time egg from Egg Hunt 2014. Unlike the final Egg of Time (which is a single mesh and has a hourglass completely full of sand instead), this one is split up into 3 separate meshes, set up such so that the glass part of the egg can be transparent. The reasons for this version being scrapped is unknown, but it may have been that wielding 3 parts together at once on a hat may have been too complicated.

Egg Hunt 2015

Mad Egg (Original Version)

This is the early version of the Mad Egg that was used in the 2015 Egg Hunt. This was replaced with a dark red egg with three fancy knives stuffed in the top part.

Billy The Egg (Original Version)

This is an early version of Billy the Egg from the 2015 Egg Hunt.

Hallow's Eve 2016: Trick or Treat Countdown

TerribleKorbloxAncientBox

This egg-shaped box is an early version of the Terrible Gift of Korblox Ancients. The egg shape is likely in reference to the dragon wings that were given when the gift opened. The decision to change from an egg-shaped box to a box-shaped box remains a mystery, but it's possible that it may have been too weird to have an egg hat in a Halloween event.

Egg Hunt 2018

Egg Hunt 2018 has quite a lot of unused eggs.

Gross Egg

The Gross Egg was supposed to be used in Egg Hunt 2018 that was cut. It is actually a retexture of the Malicious Egg from Egg Hunt 2014. There are also 2 other retextures of the Malicious Egg: one orange, the other purple. This is one of the few canceled eggs to be put on the catalog.

Eggsteriod

Another Egg meant for the 2018 Egg Hunt, It is unknown which world this egg was supposed to be collected in if this was a randomly spawning egg or an egg that you had to do a quest to obtain. This is one of the few canceled eggs to be put on the catalog.

Dragon Scale Egg

Yet another egg meant for 2018, It looks rather unfinished so it was probably cut early and replaced by the Dreggon.

Recycled Bloom Egg

An unused egg from 2018, which is an egg with a flower on it made of newspaper. There is an error with the egg where part of its mesh is missing. It was likely meant to appear in Hardboiled City. It may have been replaced by the Newsie Egg.

Wonderland Minor Egg

A version of the Treasured Egg of Wonderland that is missing the crystals on it.

Hardboiled Minor Egg

Another minor egg, this time for Hardboiled City. Unlike the Wondlerland Grove egg, this has one gem. The eggs mesh says "no gems", indicating this one gem is an error.
