The Cold Slither set includes 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, fully outfitted for their "Band of Vipers World Tour" concert. The set boasts an impressive 29 accessories, including a guitar, bass, keytar, and drum set. Even the packaging is designed to resemble the Springfield Theater.
This exclusive box set will be available only at San Diego Comic-Con (July 24-27, 2025). Limited quantities will be released on the Hasbro Pulse website after the convention.
For fans who prefer a retro vibe, Hasbro is collaborating with Super7 to release a Cold Slither Zartan figure in Super7's ReAction+ line. This 3.75-inch figure, reminiscent of the classic A Real American Hero toys, features O-ring construction, vintage packaging, and glows in the dark under UV light. It also includes a microphone and guitar.
The Cold Slither Zartan ReAction+ figure is priced at $20 and will be available for preorder on the Super7 website starting April 3rd at 9:15 AM PT.
Hasbro is further embracing the musical theme with the release of an actual Cold Slither album, a collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music. The album description:
"In 2025, Cold Slither, the iconic heavy metal band from G.I. Joe lore, unleash their highly anticipated debut album. Featuring the phenomenal self-titled anthem “Cold Slither,” the album delivers 10 electrifying tracks blending searing guitar riffs, pounding rhythms, and irresistibly catchy choruses."
