I was browsing through my local toy store this week and came upon this bizarre Playmobil set. It has monkeys, jungle foliage, a hammock, a supermarket, specimen jars, and two people, one of whom is pushing a wheelbarrow. I pondered what it was for a little while - jungle supermarket? - until I realized ... it's the Dharma Initiative playset! It even has a spooky logo, in this case a little dolphin jumping out of the water.

Yes, with LOST coming back on TV in a few weeks, you can relive the characters' adventures in tiny-little-German-plastic-doll form. Click more for a full rundown of the weird ways Playmobil and LOST connect, along with a full picture of the "Dharma playset" box.

You clearly have to start with the jet plane, which belongs to "Pacific Airlines" - a little close to "Oceanic Airlines," eh? Then you park yourself at the waterfall until you discover the research station filled with office equipment. Finally you come upon ... well, look at the box below. Now tell me if you can find any of those little Playmobil ladies who look like Kate.

Yes, I know this is part of the Playmobil zoo set. But you've got to admit it's weird.
