Lady GaGa has been turned into a life-size robot - manufacturers in Japan have created high-tech dolls of the singer featuring tracks from her new album Artpop.

The Applause hitmaker is in the country to promote the release of her latest record, and on Wednesday (27Nov13) she came face to face with robots which were eerily made in her likeness.

Gaga posted a photo of herself sitting in between two identical dolls, along with the caption, "Who needs Barbie when you can own your own life size pop star that sings to you."

According to the Gaga Doll website, music from Artpop blasts through a speaker hidden in the mannequins.
