Cast members at Disney's Animal Kingdom have indicated that the current stock of banshees is running low. The actual banshee toys aren't going anywhere, but the original, manually controlled versions are being replaced with electronic versions soon.

Historically, shoulder banshees have sold out numerous times, particularly when Pandora—The World of Avatar first opened in 2017. These instances underline the consistent demand for the toys, which have won Disney accolades and awards for their unique and interactive design.
