Internet sensation Candace Payne, more commonly known as Chewbacca Mom, has achieved something pretty special, courtesy of toy giant Hasbro.

Payne was invited to the Hasbro headquarters, where she was presented with a one of a kind Chewbacca action figure. He looks just like you’d expect from the neck down, and even comes with his trademark bowcaster. The head, however, is a completely one of a kind (and eerily accurate) sculpt, modelled after Payne herself. Even better, it comes with a completely removable Chewbacca mask.
After the presentation, she hopped onto Facebook live and described the surreal experience.
“So the weekend after this happened, I was able to go to the Facebook headquarters, and meet an incredible and integral part of this story and this journey, and I feel like today, right now, this moment, is a second divine moment that’s happening. So, I want you, if you know how to use Emoji’s, all of you out there in Facebook live world, I want you to do the handclap for these amazing people that develop stuff that your kids have…thrown at you and played with.”
It’s definitely been a whirlwind, but now she can actually say she has her own action figure, and who wouldn’t want that? You can see more photos of Payne and the Hasbro staff in the gallery.
