The G.I. Joe Classified: Dreadnoks Cold Slither - Band of Vipers set features 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, all dressed up for their Band of Vipers World Tour concert. This set is packed with 29 accessories, including an impressive array of musical instruments such as a guitar, bass, keytar, and drum set. The packaging itself is a tribute to the Springfield Theater, adding an extra layer of nostalgia for fans.
Mark your calendars, as this exclusive box set will be available at San Diego Comic-Con from July 24-27, 2025. If you miss out on the convention, fear not—limited quantities will be available post-event on the Hasbro Pulse website.
For collectors who cherish the classic look, Hasbro is collaborating with Super7 to introduce Cold Slither Zartan to the Super7 ReAction+ line. This 3.75-inch figure captures the essence of the original A Real American Hero toys, featuring O-Ring construction and vintage-style packaging. With a glow-in-the-dark feature activated by UV light, the figure comes with a microphone and guitar. Priced at $20, it will be available for preorder on the Super7 website starting April 3 at 9:15am PT.
Hasbro is further embracing the musical theme by 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.
