Lofi Girl is a musical icon known for the soothing music on the famed YouTube channel, giving the character a new LEGO Lofi Girl update. The toy block version of the character appeared on the stream on Tuesday but returned to her regular form shortly after.
She was seen in an animated version with the same tonal palette looking at her work and glancing outside of her window with her beloved cat. This stemmed from a design challenge that was prompted by LEGO to ask builders to recreate places that they “like to escape to and relax while building and listening to music. We want to see those spots, featuring the iconic Lofi Girl character. Real or make-believe!”
