Candace Payne (Chewbacca Mom) could never have known that the video she decided to share after purchasing a Chewbacca mask would go viral so quickly, and make her famous.
The video, which captures Payne laughing in excitement, became one of the most-watched Facebook Live videos ever.
Not only has she appeared on The Late Show with James Corden, made a guest appearance on a Star Wars YouTube series and even met Stan Lee, but she now has her own action figure, thanks to the good folks at Hasbro.
The custom figure was presented to Payne by Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the figure is Chewbacca from the neck down but has a head moulded into the likeness of Payne. The figure also includes a removable Chewbacca mask and can say up to 13 catchphrases, including “That’s not me making that noise, it’s the mask”, “I am such a happy Chewbacca” and, of course, Chewbacca Mom’s popular laugh.
Unfortunately, for those collector’s wanting to get their hands on the Chewbacca Mom action figure, we have some bad news. This is one-of-a-kind.
