It's as though someone saw a bunch of PM sets, took some heavy drugs, then fell asleep and had a nightmare. And the nightmare came true.

Very interesting, some of the animals look like close copies. Their horses though look more like archaic Greek art than Playmo.

I like the lawman with the square jaw in the fourth picture. And the Egyptian mummies, really scary with those arms that will go in any direction!
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

I know right? They could have taken all the energy they put into copying PM and just made their own stuff.

I guess the missing element is imagination.

I can't hear that word and not think of this scene from South Park:
