The Cold Slither set includes meticulously detailed 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, all kitted out for the Band of Vipers World Tour concert. Accompanying these figures are an impressive 29 accessories, including musical instruments such as a guitar, bass, keytar, and a full drum set. The packaging itself is designed to mimic the Springfield Theater, enhancing the nostalgic appeal of the set.

This exclusive box set will be available for purchase at San Diego Comic-Con, scheduled from July 24-27, 2025. Post-event, limited quantities will also be offered on the Hasbro Pulse website.

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

Embracing the musical theme even further, Hasbro is partnering with Reigning Phoenix Music to release an actual Cold Slither album. Here's the official description:

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.
