The Cold Slither set features intricately detailed 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, all decked out for their Band of Vipers World Tour concert. This set is packed with 29 accessories, including a variety of musical instruments such as guitars, a bass, a keytar, and a drum set. The packaging itself is a collector's dream, designed to mimic the Springfield Theater from the iconic episode.

You can grab this exclusive set at San Diego Comic-Con, taking place from July 24-27, 2025. Don't worry if you can't make it to the event; limited quantities will be available on the Hasbro Pulse website post-show.

For fans who crave a nostalgic touch, Hasbro is collaborating with Super7 to bring the Cold Slither Zartan to their ReAction+ line. This 3.75-inch figure, modeled after the classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toys, features O-Ring construction and vintage-style packaging. It even glows in the dark after UV exposure and comes with microphone and guitar accessories. Priced at $20, you can preorder this gem on the Super7 website starting April 3 at 9:15am PT.

Hasbro is fully embracing the musical vibe by launching an actual Cold Slither album in collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music. Here's the exciting description of the album:

In 2025, Cold Slither, the iconic heavy metal rock band from G.I. Joe lore, are releasing their highly anticipated debut album. Headlined by the phenomenal self-titled anthem “Cold Slither,” the album delivers 10 electrifying tracks that blend searing distorted guitar riffs, pounding rhythms, and irresistibly catchy, anthemic choruses.
