Order of Lenin MINI COPY - A joke?

This thing has been on ebay several times - is it a true thing or a joke? Looks like something from GI Joe...

The seller states that it is an...

"Rare 1950s Russian Order of Lenin miniature copy. Size: 1". Very good condition. Made of brass"

GI JOE "Order of Lenin"

Once in a while on eBay we can see GI JOE "Order of Lenin"
People are bidding on this "order". One time it was sold for almost $100.00.
What is it? Where does it come from?
Is this Thread needs to be in eBay Jocks section?

For sale on e?ay

Eric,

If you want to purchase a GI Joe with an order of Lenin, they go for about 1/3 of the price of a real Lenin.

There is one on e?ay now for a "Buy Now" price of $325.00 complete with everything in the box.

Eric
in 1967 Hasbro put out a series called "soldiers of the world" of 6 different soldiers from 6 different countries. Each soldier came with a high ranking valor medal or medal of honor from his country. for example
1.Britian victoria cross
2.australia victoria cross
3.germany iron cross
4.france criox de guerra
5.russia order of lenin
6. japan order of the golden kite (or was it just kite i forget?)
