A spanish firm is attracting global attention for its new range of extremely lifelike dolls.
Babyclon's "Reborn Babies" (pictured below with an iPhone attached to a socket in the skull) are made from silicone and are eerily accurate, with some commentators citing the animatronic devices' "unsettling realism".
Basic models cost almost $1,000 while more sophisticated versions - which include motors to make the dolls appear to breathe and suck on dummies - can end up being worth more like A$7,500.
The company's range extends beyond the merely human, with other products that look like baby chimpanzees, mermaids and blue aliens from the film Avatar.
Fast food is set to reach even greater heights next week, when KFC plans to send a chicken zinger burger into space.
The promotional stunt will see the spicy meal ascend almost to the edge of the atmosphere with the assistance of a specially made high-altitude balloon.
The "launch window" for the earth-shattering event opens on 21 Jun, with balloon maker World View saying there's also a serious side to what will be the "longest controlled stratospheric balloon flight with a commercial payload in history" - because the burger will return to earth along with captured telemetry data.
