Roblox: How to Get the Monstercat RIA 26 Vinyl Figure

The Monstercat RIA 26 Vinyl Figure is a free back accessory tied to the Roblox Innovation Awards 2026 afterparty. It is not sold in the Marketplace and it is not a redeemable code item. The only route to it runs through a badge handed out inside a single experience, [RIA Afterparty] The Block, while the concert is playing.

Quick answer: Join [RIA Afterparty] The Block during a scheduled RIA Afterparty show and watch the concert. Earning the “Monstercat RIA 26 Vinyl Figure” badge grants the accessory automatically.

The catalog description calls it “An exclusive Monstercat figure commemorating the RIA 26 Afterparty.” It sits on your avatar’s back and uses PBR textures with an emissive mask, so parts of the figure glow. You can check whether it is already attached to your account on the Monstercat RIA 26 Vinyl Figure catalog page.

The event that triggers the badge

The reward is not granted for simply loading the experience. It is attached to the RIA Afterparty concert, which plays on a repeating schedule rather than as a one-off broadcast. The show loops roughly every six hours, and a countdown floating above the main stage tells you exactly how long until the next one begins.

Experience name: [RIA Afterparty] The Block
In-game event label: Monstercat RIA 26 Afterparty
Badge name: Monstercat RIA 26 Vinyl Figure
Show cycle: repeats every 6 hours

If the countdown shows a long wait, set a timer on your phone for the same interval and come back a few minutes early instead of idling in the lobby.

How to get the Monstercat RIA 26 Vinyl Figure

Open the Roblox event page for the Monstercat RIA 26 Afterparty and select Join Event, or search for [RIA Afterparty] The Block directly. Both routes drop you into the same experience.

Once you spawn in the lobby, read the “RIA 2026 at The Block” pop-up. It confirms the reward with the line “Score an exclusive UGC reward by watching the RIA Afterparty at The Block!” and offers a View UGC Reward button that shows the vinyl figure.

Walk to the main stage and check the “EVENT STARTS IN” countdown. That number is the authority on timing, not the event listing on the website, because the show restarts on its own cycle.

Be in the venue when the countdown hits zero and stay through the concert. The badge is awarded for watching the show, so leaving mid-set defeats the point.

What the lobby looks like before the show

The Block hands you a blue glow stick when you spawn, and other players fill the floor with their own avatars while the countdown runs. Movement and interactions use the standard on-screen controls, with a Q button on the hotbar for prompted actions.

Lit platforms mark the areas you can move onto while you wait. None of this affects the badge, which depends purely on being present for the concert.

How to confirm the accessory unlocked

The badge and the item arrive together, so the fastest check is the badge itself. The “Monstercat RIA 26 Vinyl Figure” badge appears on your Roblox profile once awarded, and the accessory lands in your inventory under Back Accessories without any separate claim step.

Availability window and current status

The figure was published on September 12, 2026 and handed out as part of the Roblox Innovation Awards 2026 afterparty, with the giveaway running across the September 12 to September 14 event period and the in-game drop logged for September 13. It was never listed for sale, and it is not tradable, so accounts that missed the window cannot pick it up on the Marketplace.

No official return date for the badge or a repeat of the afterparty has been confirmed.

If The Block still lists the Monstercat RIA 26 Afterparty and the stage countdown is running, the badge is live and one full show is all it takes. Once that listing disappears from the experience, the vinyl figure stays on the accounts that attended.
