I wonder if it ever bothers Banshee that in most folklore banshees are depicted as female? He should have picked a cooler name but I guess Screaming Man just wasn't good enough. That's right, Banshee is a mutant with the ability to scream so frickin' loud that he can fly. How does he fly you ask? Heck if I know but he can also knock you down and stuff so it's not a totally useless power. Anyway, the figure is not that bad. He does sport his weird (flying squirrel) wings on his costume that run from his forearms to his ankles. The wings are able to be removed if you desire. His head is sculpted into (wait for it) a screaming pose. Since that's his gig I think that's fine. He comes with a wing of Annilhius.
As far as the build a figure (BAF), Annihilus, goes he is an interesting mix. We've kind of been out of the whole extra big BAF's like Galactus and the Sentinel and others for a while now but the past BAF's have been just as good and are still really big guys meant to be in scale with the 6" Legends figures (not that Galactus really was in scale. Hey Hasbro, a big Celestial would be cool). I'd give Annihilus 4 stars overall. He has a really good sculpt with lots of detail and a great assortment of articulation points. He has extra big leathery wings, a menacingly alien face, clawed articulated hands and a pink (?) torso and gloves. Did I say pink? That's the only thing about this guy. For a real threatening Negative Zone alien also known as The Living Death That Walks, pink seems like a pretty feminine color. But maybe he's secure in his masculinity. In some areas he was shipped with an alternate purple color rather than the pink to man him up a bit but it's still pretty weird. Oh, well. Just be careful, if you are a perfectionist, that you don't mix up different colored parts.
