We're pretty sure this is the next best thing to an official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time.

No, A Christmas Story fans, it's not the original leg lamp from the 1983 Christmas movie. Don't you know? That indescribably beautiful prop was broken by Ralphie's mother—much to the disappointment of collectors everywhere. But that doesn't mean you can't bring home a "major award" of your very own. That's right: You can now purchase a string light set featuring mini replicas of the infamous leg lamp—and Amazon shoppers are thrilled.

"It felt like winning a major award to have these hanging in our front window." reads one glowing review. "This is the coolest Christmas decoration ever," noted another. A third happy customer says, "I use these for my desk at work. Everyone comes over just to see them."

The lights are intended for both indoor and outdoor use, but we think they'd attract the most attention strung on your family's Christmas tree or woven into a garland. Each of the 10 miniature leg lamps strung along its lead wire features a telltale golden lampshade, one black high heel, and a criss-crossed fishnet design.

Just be careful—they might be "fra-gee-lay."
