Chewbacca Mom is really making the most of her 15 minutes of fame!
After Candace Payne‘s viral video broke Facebook Live records, she’s been given college scholarships, guest spots on late night TV, and even a bit at the CMT Music Awards.
Now she’s come full circle. After making a name for herself getting excited over a toy, she herself has inspired one.

Wait, instead of a mom wearing a Chewbacca mask it’s Chewie wearing a Candace mask?? LOLz!
JK, we think it’s meant to be the viral sensation wearing a full body Chewbacca costume. It even comes with a little removable Chewie mask!
According to Hasbro, the novelty figure also includes 13 spoken lines, including Candace’s trademark giggle.
How cute! We wonder if Kohl’s will carry it…
