The
Marvel Cinematic Universe hype train is in full force after Wednesday's major livestream event, where
Marvel Studios revealed the full cast of
Avengers: Doomsday in the most dramatic way possible: by slowly adding director's chairs with the actors' names on them over the course of
FIVE hours. As soon as the event ended, collectors worldwide had the same idea:
recreating the scene using their Marvel Legends figures. However, there was just one small problem:
nobody could find 1:12 scale director’s chairs! ToyFarce investigated...
"
I thought this would be a fun, easy diorama to put together" said one frustrated collector. "
I have all the figures, I just needed some tiny chairs. But now? It’s like they never existed! Did everyone have the same idea at once?!" (Yes, yes, we did.)
Indeed, online retailers and hobby stores have been wiped clean of
miniature director's chairs. Some collectors report seeing listings for them just days ago, but now they are mysteriously sold out everywhere. Even custom diorama makers and 3D printing enthusiasts are struggling to keep up with the sudden demand.
Some desperate fans have resorted to alternative methods, including repurposing dollhouse furniture, using
LEGO chairs as placeholders, or simply
Photoshopping the chairs into their pictures. "
I considered buying 1:6 scale director’s chairs and just forcing my figures to sit on the edge" admitted one collector, "
...but then I realized that would look ridiculous, so I just cried instead!"
Meanwhile, conspiracy theories have emerged in toy collector circles: "
Was this all planned by Marvel? Did they buy up all the tiny chairs in advance to make us suffer?" speculated one Reddit user. Others believe a shadowy network of scalpers is now hoarding 1:12 chairs, preparing to list them at absurd prices. One eBay listing has allegedly appeared with a single miniature chair priced at $200, with the description reading: "
Perfect for recreating your *most recent* favorite MCU moment!".
As collectors continue their frantic search, some remain hopeful. "
Maybe NECA will suddenly release a pack of 1:12 director’s chairs at Best Buy, without announcing it..." said one fan, referencing the company’s mysterious product drop habits. "
Or maybe Hasbro will make an actual MCU Director’s Chair Pack. I’d buy that in a heartbeat!"
Until then, the dream of fully recreating the
Avengers: Doomsday reveal remains just out of reach, like a director’s chair that never was...
More news at 11:00... "
Yes, officer. We did spend 5 hours looking at chairs. Why?"
