(MIRROR) A Japanese toy-maker is set to cause a stir after creating a doll that cries when it is injected with a needle.

The bizarre doll is the latest offering from toy manufacturer Tomy and was demonstrated at a toy exhibition in Tokyo on Monday.

Tomy plan to put the doll on the market in June.

Earlier this month, Toys’R’Us sparked outrage with parents in the US by selling dolls that appeared to swear at children.

Shocked mums and dads claimed to have heard the You & Me Interactive Triplets say “Hey crazy b---” among their baby babble.

Toys’R’Us intend to continue selling the dolls, are however offering buyers the possibility to exchange the doll if requested.
