A curious thing about album covers with toys on them from 1995

I did not find a wikipedia article about this, but -

-- here Ladies and Gentlemen we have the cover of the 1995 fanclub single by american rockband Pearl Jam. Notice how on this toy-centric cover Ace Frehley is standing in the crowd without his bandmates watching Pearl Jam perform.



Nothing curious about that in itself.

But what if I tell you, that the same year (1995) Swedish hiphop group "Just D" released an album with a toy-centric cover (featuring the T-800 Model 101 and Freddy Krueger, sadly missing from the Pearl Jam cover) where everyone in KISS are featured except for Ace Frehley. 



Meaning, that having both these releases from 1995 gives you a complete set of KISS.

I am not saying the world is flat. Or that 9/11 was an inside job. But this, there is something to this coincidence.

    What if that's the only set of those figures? You could probably shoot a documentary on reuniting the doll band.

    Maybe ace is behind the red dot and chose not to stand next to his band mates

    Maybe both bands are at the same toy festival and KISS decided to split up for the afternoon.

    I'll take it one step further...

    There's a Star Wars Stormtrooper in the top row of the PJ cover. 
    There's some other figure who appears to be jerking his thumb at him,  drawing attention to him. 

    On the other cover,  there are 2 Star Wars Stormtroopers... but neither are the traditional one.  One is a Biker Scout Trooper; the other is a Snow Trooper.

    My '80's kid younger self approved this post.

    Both covers have a Superman on them. Coincidentally, both on the top left corner...
