Chewbacca Mom's 15 minutes of fame are miraculously getting even longer.
Candace "Chewbacca Mom" Payne, whose original Facebook Live brought millions of viewers joy, now has her own Hasbro action figure.
On Friday, Payne and her family visited Hasbro's headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner unveiled the action figure to Chewbacca Mom and the crowd.

The action figure is of Payne as Chewbacca with a tiny removable mask. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, a Hasbro representative confirmed that the action figure has 13 catchphrases, one of which is Payne's maniacal laugh from her original video.
The unveiling was also a meet and greet — fans wearing the electronic Chewbacca masks lined up to take photos of Payne on the red carpet, and the Hasbro Star Wars team got to take a selfie with the viral star.
The action figure is not yet available online, but to tide you over, Hasbro is still selling the electronic Chewbacca mask that started it all.
