She later turned back into her regular old animated self on the channel’s stream, but the Lofi Girl YouTube channel posted a recording of the mix with the newly designed Lego Lofi Girl called, “Lofi Girl – chill beats for LEGO building.” The Lego Group released the animation as part of a new challenge where fans can use Legos to build spots where they like to relax and unwind, inspired by Lofi Girl.
The Lofi Girl remains as studious as ever — just as a Lego-fied version of herself. The special 3D animation contains all the main fixtures fans would recognize from the regular livestream. She has an adorable brick lamp and a plastic kitty. And while she can’t turn the pages of her book since it’s you know… a Lego toy… she seems as focused as ever.
