A terrifying doll pulled from the shelves after scarring children is now on sale for hundreds online.

The nightmarish 'Little Miss No Name' was launched by Hasbro in 1965, but after hitting the shelves, the company soon found it wasn't sitting well with children, or their parents. Shortly after launching, the toy was pulled from shelves and seemed to disappear from the market entirely.

However, the toy could now once again be yours after going on sale at an extortionate price online. With her bulging eyes and haunting expression, Little Miss No Name is going for almost $400 (£340) on some eBay pages. Now something of a collector's item, she's pretty sought after.

It seems some are flocking to find her in mint condition or at the very least with her removable tear still intact. One listing reads: "Very good condition with tear intact. Hair appears to be trimmed somewhat. Original outfit is present as shown with some typical fraying to edges. Some light wear from play. But quite nice overall. Measures approx. 15 inches tall. Listed as found", reports LadBible.

According to toytales.ca, Little Miss No Name was created to be an alternative to Barbie. Designed by Deet D'Andrade, the doll featured large brown eyes, a sad downturned mouth and a mop of blonde, messy hair. Her clothing was limited to a brown, tattered sac-like dress.

She also came with a plastic teardrop that could be inserted into a hole in her cheek - and another feature adding to her overall desperate state of poverty included an arm extension which left her tiny hand cupped as though she was hungry and begging for money.

Little Miss No Name's marketing also included a lengthy list of what she didn’t have, reading: "She doesn’t have a pretty dress. She doesn’t have any shoes. She doesn’t even have a home. All she has is love." Her packaging also had a message, reading: “I need someone to love me. I want to learn to play. Please take me home with you and brush my tear away."
