Whatever you think that headline prepared you to see, you're probably wrong. Toy company Zuru has seen bestselling success with a line of miniature toy babies and accessories. But now it's upping the ante considerably with a pregnant Barbie-like doll. Remove her plastic belly to reveal the slime-filled amniotic sac and toy baby inside. Fun!

My Mini Baby Mom & Surprise Doll ("Surprise" is understating it a bit) is currently available for pre-order in the U.K., but has been featured in a now-viral video on the company's Instagram page. You can essentially perform a C-section on the doll, removing the amniotic sac from its belly, then squeezing the baby and a bunch of slime out through a tiny hole. It's, um, realistic. Well, until you get to the part where you flip the mom doll's tummy panel around to reveal a taut set of abs immediately after birth.
The comments on the video reveal that reactions are decidedly mixed — some people love the doll, and some hate it.
"My daughter would love this!!" one mom wrote.
Another commented, "Big fan of ZURU's creativity lately."
But another, who is clearly not a fan, added, "Some things should be AI."
