Payne's Chewbacca Mom video became the most-viewed Facebook Live video ever.

Payne visited the Hasbro headquarters with her family. The action figure uses Payne's likeness for the face, then maintains Chewbacca's body from the neck down. Chewbacca is the hairy co-pilot in the Star Wars series of movies.
