The G.I. Joe Classified: Dreadnoks Cold Slither - Band of Vipers set includes meticulously detailed 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, all dressed to impress for their Band of Vipers World Tour concert. The set is packed with 29 accessories, including a range of musical instruments such as guitars, bass, keytar, and a drum set. The packaging itself is a tribute to the Springfield Theater, adding an extra layer of nostalgia to this collectible.

This exclusive box set will be available only at San Diego Comic-Con, scheduled from July 24-27, 2025. Post-event, limited quantities will be offered on the Hasbro Pulse website, ensuring fans outside the convention have a chance to grab this unique set.

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

Further embracing the musical theme, 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.
