The set includes 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, ready to rock the Band of Vipers World Tour. It boasts 29 accessories, including instruments like a guitar, bass, keytar, and drum kit. The packaging even replicates the Springfield Theater!

This collectible set will be available exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con (July 24-27, 2025). Limited quantities will be released on Hasbro Pulse afterward.

For fans of retro G.I. Joe, Hasbro and Super7 are collaborating on a Cold Slither Zartan ReAction+ figure. This 3.75-inch figure, reminiscent of classic A Real American Hero toys, features O-ring construction, vintage packaging, and UV-reactive glow-in-the-dark effects. It includes a microphone and guitar.

The Cold Slither Zartan ReAction+ figure is priced at $20 and will be available for pre-order on the Super7 website starting April 3rd at 9:15 am PT.

Hasbro is taking the musical theme further with 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, release their highly anticipated debut album. Featuring the self-titled anthem “Cold Slither,” the album delivers 10 electrifying tracks blending searing guitar riffs, powerful rhythms, and catchy choruses."
