Things just keep getting better for "Chewbacca mom," aka Candace Payne, the Texas mom whose four-minute Facebook Live video about a plastic Chewbacca mask, filmed in a Kohl's parking lot, became the most popular Facebook Live broadcast to date.

Estimations say she's already racked-up over $420,000 in freebies since going viral, including college scholarships for Payne and her entire family, a television appearance with Star Wars director J.J. Abrams and a visit to Facebook headquarters to meet with Mark Zuckerberg. Now she can add her very own custom action figure to the list.
