Starting November 21, 2024, you'll find even more ways to immerse yourself in the world of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom with the launch of four new interactive shoulder banshees in Pandora — The World of Avatar.

These new banshees build on the popularity of the original toy, offering a more interactive and personalized experience for fans of the movie.

Unique Banshee Features and Customization

These updated interactive shoulder banshees come in four different colors and patterns, including some with glow-in-the-dark bioluminescence. Each banshee is equipped with a wireless remote, letting you control their head, mouth, and wing movements, as well as make them produce sounds provided by Lightstorm Entertainment. The new banshees are designed to feel lifelike, reacting to touch and communicating with other nearby interactive banshees. Whether it's a shoulder or wrist banshee, these creatures respond to their surroundings in ways that add to the sense of connection.

Make Your Banshee Truly Your Own

You can also personalize your banshee with accessory packs inspired by different clans from the world of Avatar. These packs include new head, neck, and tail accessories that you can mix and match to create a custom look. The new sling-style carry case makes it easier to take your banshee along on your adventures through Pandora and beyond, while the mossy display perch provides a home for your banshee between travels.

Where to Get One

Ready to bond with a banshee? Starting November 21, you can visit Windtraders at Pandora — The World of Avatar in Disney's Animal Kingdom to pick out your very own interactive shoulder banshee. Pricing is not yet available.

They're already 'way too close to your eyes... who thought putting a remote controlled toy that close to a kid's face was a good idea???

they can whisper things into your children's ears... like "Hey! don't you need a slice of Earl's Court Chocolate Cake? I know that would make me happy..." or "I would look best on a new Banshee Spirit Jersey...have an adult buy it now, or scream real loud! "

Any videos of these guys in action? I looked but all I saw were the old ones. Could be cool. I feel like this is what the land needs to lean in to. Their merchandise is okay but nothing overly exciting.

Remember, when the singularity arrives, these creatures are way too close to your carotid artery.
