The Cold Slither set features meticulously crafted 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, all dressed up for their Band of Vipers World Tour concert. Accompanying these figures are an impressive 29 accessories, including a variety of musical instruments such as a guitar, bass, keytar, and a full drum set. The packaging itself is a work of art, designed to replicate the iconic Springfield Theater.

This exclusive box set will be available for purchase at San Diego Comic-Con, taking place from July 24-27, 2025. For those unable to attend, limited quantities will be available post-event on the Hasbro Pulse website.

For fans who appreciate a more nostalgic touch, Hasbro is collaborating with Super7 to introduce Cold Slither Zartan to the ReAction+ line. This 3.75-inch figure, reminiscent of the classic A Real American Hero toys, features O-Ring construction and vintage-style packaging. It glows in the dark when exposed to UV light and comes with microphone and guitar accessories. Priced at $20, it will be available for preorder on the Super7 website starting April 3 at 9:15am PT.

Hasbro is fully embracing the musical theme by releasing an actual Cold Slither album in collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music. Here's the official description of the Cold Slither 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.
