The G.I. Joe Classified: Dreadnoks Cold Slither - Band of Vipers set showcases 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, all geared up for their Band of Vipers World Tour concert. Accompanying these figures are an impressive array of 29 accessories, including musical instruments such as guitars, basses, keytars, and a drum set. The set's packaging even replicates the iconic Springfield Theater, adding to the nostalgic allure.
You can snag this exclusive box set at San Diego Comic-Con, running from July 24-27, 2025. Post-event, limited quantities will be available on the Hasbro Pulse website, so keep your eyes peeled.
For fans who crave a more retro feel, Hasbro has joined forces with Super7 to introduce Cold Slither Zartan to the Super7 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 under UV light and comes with a microphone and guitar. Priced at $20, preorders start on the Super7 website on April 3 at 9:15am PT.
Hasbro is further embracing the musical theme with the release of an actual Cold Slither album in collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music. Here's the official rundown:
In 2025, Cold Slither, the legendary heavy metal band from G.I. Joe lore, will launch their eagerly awaited debut album. Featuring the powerful titular track "Cold Slither," the album contains 10 electrifying songs that fuse searing distorted guitar riffs, pounding rhythms, and irresistibly catchy, anthemic choruses.
