The infamous LEGO creator Truman Cheng behind the Vincent Van Gough set piece is back with another great idea at the right time.
Introducing the ‘This Is Fine’ Set
It’s 2022 and it feels like everything is terrible, so this set idea couldn’t have come at a better time.
Cheng who also created the instant hit set “Starry Night” wants to recreate the legendary meme which shows the adorable pooch sipping on a beverage while the world around him combusts in flames.
The Hong-Kong native said via the LEGO IDEAS website that he wants people to keep calm and stay positive in the face of adversity. He feels that, unlike so many memes that have faded over the years, the “This Is Fine” meme has just gotten better over time.
The LEGO Model Was Created a Few Years Ago
Cheng’s new set is based on his favorite meme which was taken from KC Green’s comics. Since many people told the LEGO creator they want one too, he decided to make it a full set and try it on LEGO IDEAS.
Truman Cheng also mentioned that if fans wanted him to produce other sets paying homage to iconic memes, they could leave a comment below the post.
The Meme Culture Lives
One doesn’t have to be a meme lover to appreciate the beauty behind the “This Is Fine” set but many fans responded properly, showing that the meme culture is stronger than ever. Under Cheng’s Instagram post, many replied with memes or quotes.
One wrote, “Take my money” while another one said “Love This!!! Story of our lives.” Without a doubt, this calls for a “Distracted Boyfriend” or a “Sad Keanu” piece.
Following The Office Set
This model follows The Office set which is based on the popular US sitcom. The piece took 1,164 bricks to create the notorious Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Jaijai Lewis first submitted the previews in 2014 and 2019 and said that his pitch underwent a lengthy process until it came to fruition.
However, it still came out, and let’s hope that the “This Is Fine” set will come out soon enough as well.
