Candace Payne, aka Mom Chewbacca, was honored with neither more nor less than her own Star Wars figurine made by the well-known toy house Hasbro, on the occasion of her spectacular fame on social networks for posting a nice video with the Chewbacca mask.

The woman visited the company's offices, where she was received by Brian Goldner, the company's CEO. There, the executive presented the woman from Texas, with the cute figure, who comes with her own removable face mask and Star Wars packaging.

"For all those 800,000+ people who follow me and I don't know very well, hello!" Said Payne, in a Facebook Live video he made from the toy maker's offices.

"Today I was invited to the Hasbro headquarters," she says in the message. “They gave me something great. Some of you will cry with happiness”, says the nice woman who then shows the toy, which she describes as“glorious”. And although in the video she assures that she was “afraid to remove the mask” from the figure, she laughs out loud when showing her own face captured in the figure.

A Hasbro representative confirmed to EW.com that the figurine comes with 13 pre-recorded phrases, including "This isn't me making that noise, it's the mask" and "I'm such a happy Chewbacca," famous for the friendly video.

Since her unexpected rise to fame, Payne has received countless gifts, such as a scholarship for her and her two children to study for free at a Florida university and 10,000 gift points from Kohl's stores (where the video mask came from), among other things.
