The boobs, valued at £150,000, were due to be given away by a Australian mens magazine but the container, well, containing them, is nowhere to be found.

Some fear it could be a case of man mammary overboard as the ship carrying it left docks in Beijing two weeks ago and should have arrived in Sydney this week.

This will come as bad news for the obviously highly discerning readership of Ralph magazine.

A spokesperson for the magazine has asked for beachcombers to keep an eye out for the inflatable breasts and get in touch if they spot them.
