Gorillaz vibrators in the works

A series of vibrators inspired by Gorillaz are in the pipeline, it has been announced.

The expensive sex toys have been designed by Jamie Hewlett, the artistic force behind the international pop phenomenon.

He is working with the vibrator company Jimmy Jane on what is said to be the "Ultimate Member" collection, which is due for release soon.

Each toy will apparently feature members of the Gorillaz community, coming in six different designs, and costing $275 each or $1,650 for the whole package.

Meanwhile, Monkey: Journey To The West, the opera produced by Hewlett and Gorillaz partner

Damon Albarn, opens the Manchester International Festival in Manchester, England on June 28.
